BENDIXEN & AMANDI INTERNATIONAL - MIAMI RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE STUDY 2016 3 Project Description A survey of the Miami Real Estate market from the perspective of the top industry professionals. BENDIXEN & AMANDI INTERNATIONAL - MIAMI RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE STUDY 2016 Project overview Miami’s real estate market has historically been a significant driver of the local economy whose impact cannot be understated. This project was conceived as a deep dive into the ‘State of Real Estate’ from the perspective of real estate professionals throughout Miami Dade county. Our approach was to capture the perspective of 100 of the Top Brokers/Agents and industry experts in Miami Dade County to gain their insights into the county-wide market. The interviews were anonymous, providing a forum through which industry professionals could speak freely and candidly about what they were seeing both positive and negative. The Miami Herald is the traditional community conversation starter and as such we believed was the natural partner for this type of project. The results of the survey research will be the focus of a feature story in the June 6th publication of Business Monday.
