Roof and envelope
Age against current insurance underwriting standards, not just against the seller's disclosure. In Florida this decides whether a property is insurable at a rate that works.
About
Answers before the deposit.
Open permits, insurance age, reserve shortfalls. Checked inside the review window, while you can still act on what turns up.
Who you are working with
A technical read on a market that rewards one.
Ilya Anisimov is a licensed Florida real estate sales associate brokered by LPT Realty, serving Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. A background in construction and project management shapes how he reads a property: condition, permit history, and the cost of what still needs doing are treated as part of the price, not as details to discover afterward.
That matters more here than in most markets. Insurance underwriting, association assessments, and Florida's property tax reset can each move the real cost of ownership by more than a hard-won negotiation on price ever will. They are knowable in advance. Most of the work is knowing to look.
Whether you are buying your first property, expanding a portfolio, or preparing to sell, you get the analysis in writing and the reasoning shown — comparable sales rather than estimates, a net sheet before a list price, and compensation terms agreed before we start rather than discovered at closing.

What that changes in practice
The things worth checking before the deposit is at risk.
None of this is exotic. It is the set of questions a property answers if someone asks them inside the contractual window rather than after it closes.
Permit history
Open or unpermitted work in the county record. An enclosed patio or a replaced panel without a closed permit becomes the buyer's problem at resale.
Structural and mechanical age
Systems have a replacement cost and a remaining life. Both belong in the offer analysis rather than in a surprise after closing.
Association financial condition
Reserves, assessment history, and milestone inspection status, read inside the contractual review window rather than after it closes.
Renovation cost, honestly scoped
What a change actually costs to execute, so the price you offer reflects the work the property still needs.
And what it does not change
A construction background is not a home inspection, an insurance quote, or a legal opinion. It tells you which specialist to bring in, and when — while you still have the leverage to use what they find.
Where I work
Miami-Dade and Broward, primarily.
Including Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Pembroke Pines, with selective work in Palm Beach County. If a property falls outside where I can do a genuinely informed job, I will say so and refer you to someone who can.
