Eric Lieberbaum

Born and raised in Miami Beach, Eric is a true South Florida native. A skilled communicator and complete people’s person, he combines his natural abilities with rare local insights (things only a real insider would know) to offer his clients a unique perspective and enriching experience each time.

His mantra - “when you are on a mission to purchase, rent or sell a home or condo, I am on that mission with you!” - comes backed by a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, keen attention to detail, and natural curiosity that helps him go above and beyond. Clients describe him as friendly, easy to warm up to, intuitive, transparent, and an honest team player.

Eric’s passion for architecture and design drew him to a career in real estate. He loves how real estate delivers tangible growth. The way new, more efficient structures rise up to energize landscapes. He feels inspired to be able to witness firsthand and be an active part of this growth in his home turf.

Growing up in Miami, Eric learnt many invaluable lessons - one of which is the ability to balance life with work and other obligations. When not on a mission with one of his clients, you’ll find him working out, travelling, or discovering new tastes and restaurants.

Stephanie Bienstock

A true Miami Beach native, Stephanie was inspired at the tender age of 16 to become involved in the transformation of the city. Her ability to get along with everyone and instantly put people at ease made her a perfect fit for real estate. Starting as an assistant to a number of top-line producers of the time, she obtained her license at 19 years old. And, there’s been no looking back ever since.

Stephanie continued working for some of the top real estate minds of the city and gained experience working with affluent clients. This led her to finally begin selling real estate independently in the early 2000s. Since then, her exclusive focus has been luxury waterfront properties, and she has participated in the sale of over $350,000,000 in sales. A feat that has helped many discerning clients find their picture-perfect property on the water.

Stephanie is often described as an open, easy going and genuine person. Being a perfectionist, she loves being organized and well-prepared. This comes in handy for her clients, as she not only brings a sense of structure to their entire experience but also helps put things into perspective for others, giving them the clarity they need to make good decisions.

Besides striving to excel at everything she does, Stephanie loves exercising and a good cup of coffee. She’s a dedicated mom of two and wife of one who really takes enjoyment in spending time with them. Not many know that this perfectionist has ninja-fast reflexes and also packs a mean punch. So spar with her at your own risk.


Jessica Turner

Jessica graduated from Suffolk University with a Degree in International Relations and Economics. After marketing small businesses in Boston, her passion for connecting with people brought her to Miami and into real estate. A positive and outgoing person, clients often describe her as a good listener, highly relatable and an easy going professional.

Born and raised in New England, Jessica inherited some key traits of being fast-paced, competitive and detail-oriented from the city. Today, she applies those traits to her real estate dealings and is a firm believer in the fact that detail and diligence breed success. Her experience of having lived in South Beach, Brickell and Edgewater has always come in handy when helping clients, with plenty of success stories behind her.


Vera Berezhnaya

Being drawn to Miami’s amazing architecture, people and lifestyle, Vera began her real estate journey in 2014. She quickly gathered expertise on South Florida’s residential market and enjoys finding creative ways to assist her clients with renting and purchasing. She is often described as an attentive and dedicated professional and holds dear her family values of discipline, punctuality, and respect for others. Vera’s major inspiration comes from the happy smiles and faces of her clients, whom she doesn’t mind hand-holding right from figuring out their dream home to living in one.

A graduate in Business Administration and Paralegal Studies, this native-born Russian moved to Miami with her parents and two Siberian Huskies at the age of 17. Her roots give her the added advantage of quickly building a rapport with people from her country and those who speak her first language. Her background in managing luxury brand stores and retail also gives her a knack for dealing with high-end clientele.

When Vera isn’t busy showing gorgeous houses around Miami, she loves to travel with her fiancé, exploring new cities, cultures, and cuisines. She also plays the violin, enjoys fishing and loves outdoor activities. Don’t be surprised if you find her singing karaoke in her car on the way to a showing, but that’s all the singing you can expect from this motivated woman.


Tatiana Rodriguez

Born in Miami Beach and raised in the family-focused neighborhood of Bay Harbour Islands, Tatiana is a true Miami native who’s been deeply influenced by the all-inclusive, multicultural, and ever-evolving spirit of the Magic City.

Always aiming higher, she not only strives to do better for herself but also for the people around her. Crediting the values of growing up in community-focused neighborhoods in Miami, and with a civic-minded family, Tatiana values relationships immensely and brings this ethic and professionalism to her work and clients. Her understanding of people and relationships was further solidified with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the Florida International University.

Clients describe Tatiana as a genuine, dedicated, and a highly thoughtful individual who’s always on your team. “They can expect for me to go to bat for them, be dedicated to them, and ensure I will be there through every step of the process so they don't have to worry.”

In her free time, Tatiana loves the lifestyle and cultural variety the Magic City has to offer. “Between the people, food, community, sunshine, and beach,” there’s no place like home for this Miami native. A firm believer of living a balanced life, you’ll find Tatiana dancing, working out, or simply out for a long walk with her two beautiful dogs and boyfriend during her time off.

Tatiana’s Fun Fact? She was in the Junior Olympics for Jump Rope.


Katia Bon

Originally from Mexico, Katia is now well known and beloved in the Edgewater and Wynwood communities of Miami. She first gained notoriety as a master baker before she transitioned to real estate.

Katia stands out as a real estate agent because to her, clients aren't simply customers. They are neighbors and friends. And she is passionate about guiding her clients through the process of buying and selling their properties.

When servicing her clients, Katia draws from her experience as a former baker, "When someone chooses a cake, they take their time deciding the proper flavor and ideal decoration. Buying a house requires the same attention and dedication. I put extra effort to find the perfect place to ensure my clients’ long-lasting satisfaction." - Katia Bon

Currently, Katia and her loving family live, work and enjoy perfect weather in Miami. Her two sons are soccer fanatics, so much so that her family also owns the local indoor soccer venue Wynwood Soccer.

Evan Schechtman

Born and raised in the northeast, Evan was drawn to Miami for its cultural diversity and growth prospects. Having grown up in a close-knit neighborhood, he cherishes meeting new people and forming lasting relationships - a trait he carries well into his work space.

Friendly, confident, honest, loyal, and a great conversationalist, Evan loves to make sure that the people around him are comfortable and having a good time. A graduate of Rutgers University with a degree in Finance, his friendly personality is matched with an analytical approach when it comes to real estate. This gives Evan an innate understanding of what his clients need and what will make a smart investment.

Driven by the desire to build and leave a legacy for his family that spans generations, his approach to business is focused on building meaningful relationships. Outside of real estate, you can find Evan spending quality time with those who mean the most to him, scuba diving, paramotoring, flying, winning at pickleball, and making people laugh.

Fun fact: He can hold his breath for 4 minutes, so steer clear of any such challenges.
