Charlie is an outstanding realtor! He is not only knowledgeable on the area and did his research on each house, he is super organized and time efficient. Have recommended him to all my friends and family. Can't recommend him enough. Made the process super easy.
Erin Arroyo
I had a great experience working with Charlie. As a first-time home seller—and a pretty nervous and unsure one at that—he made the entire process so much easier and less stressful than I expected. He did an excellent job selling my house—quicker than I thought possible! Even though he’s clearly busy, he was always responsive, even on Sundays, which I really appreciated. He’s very informed about Miami’s selling landscape, and I relied on his experience a lot throughout the process. He offered helpful suggestions and guidance, but never pressured me—he made sure I had the information I needed to make my own informed decisions. He’s also easygoing and very pleasant to work with, which made a big difference for me as a first-timer. One thing that really stood out: Charlie is not too good to roll up his sleeves. At one point, he even helped with some light cleaning to make sure everything looked perfect. That kind of hands-on approach says a lot about his work ethic and character. I felt supported every step of the way and highly recommend him!
Johan Sys
Mr. Rua is an outstanding professional, always available to answer any concerns during and after closing. In real estate location is everything but, having the right agent made the difference for us. From assessment the value of our property to negotiating with the other party. I would hire Mr. Rua every time when it comes to real estate.
Jacobo & Gabriela Asensi
Charlie helped us break thru two difficult barriers. One was being an out of state buyer unfamiliar with the area. The second was identifying the sellers issues and helping us work thru them to get it bought. Charlie was amazing thru the entire process and it never would have worked out without his patience and assistance. I’ll be working with him any time I buy or sell a house in this area.
Ernest Lee Clark
Charlie was able to manage through the entire process with us being remote much of the time. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Deep understanding of alternative neighborhoods under consideration which was really helpful since we are relatively new to the area.
Neal Bibeau
Charlie was a pleasure to work with. I was looking for a second home in Miami and was referred to Charlie by a mutual friend. Charlie made the experience simple and easy and was very communicative throughout. The closing process went smoothly and Charlie was even to make trips in his time to view the apartment during COVID. I would highly recommend Charlie to future potential homeowners.
Jay Shi
Charlie was very helpful in closing two estate properties with complex legal issues. He always responded immediately to phone calls. I would recommend Charlie as an honest, knowledgeable, reliable realtor.
Ignacio Granda
Very attentive to every step and every detail. Easy to communicate. Kept us updated as well as our attorney at all times. The research and assessment of the property was spot on. All around excellent experience.
Raul M. Masvidal
After coming through a challenging real estate market environment, Charlie has sold our property. He had helped us manage the property over many years as a rental, as we are remote, and ultimately found a buyer quickly once we listed. He has been honest, responsive, hard-working, and dependable for all of the services for which we relied on him. I would highly recommend for all property management needs.
Mark Chilewitz & Flor Crespo
As a first-time homebuyer, there was a lot about the process that was new to me. I am so grateful to Charlie for the guidance he gave me throughout the (successful and pretty painless) purchase of my home. He was thorough, responsive, accessible and did an excellent job communicating with the seller on my behalf. Charlie is an expert on the Miami market, and I was glad to have him help me navigate it. I always felt like Charlie's most important client. 10/10 - highly recommend.
Jill Adams
Highly knowledgeable, professional and result-oriented broker. Helped us sell our house in 24 hours over asking with record price per sq. foot while negotiating post-occupancy agreements. He then successfully managed to get us our dream home while dealing with a complex pre-occupancy deals. We are incredibly grateful to be our forever home thanks to Charlie's expertise.
Romain & Anne Laure Ritter
My husband and I highly recommend Charlie Rua from Rua Realty. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable of the local market, and diligent in finding the home that met all of our needs. He never made us feel pressured to commit into something we were not sure about. He was always available to answer any and all of our questions (and trust me my husband had a lot of questions and concerns!). Charlie is a problem solver and a great negotiator that delivers! He never promised anything that he didn’t think he could get done and was very truthful and realistic. He provided excellent guidance throughout the purchase of our dream home and made the whole process as smooth as possible. We honestly feel we couldn’t have picked a better real estate broker and will definitely recommend him to all of our friends and family!
Alvaro & Jennifer Palomino
Charlie Rua was very professional and responsive with our closing, the complete purchase process was very smooth from offer to closing. He is knowledgeable helpful.
Rahul Ranadive
Working with Charlie was an amazing experience, especially as a first-time homeowner. He always checked in with us regarding any paperwork or process that were going on. I would 1,000% work with Charlie again and would recommend anyone that is thinking of working with him to do it - you will absolutely not be disappointed.
Alexandra Karaczyski & Andrew Jaroszewski
From the beginning, Charlie went above and beyond to address any concerns and did more than his part to get the deal done under crazy circumstances. Charlie demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and kindness throughout the buying process. I would definitely recommend his services to any prospective buyer or seller.
Cristobal Lopez
Charlie is very professional and extremely nice. We have been working with him for 6 years, tons of experience and knowledgeable. Charlie helped us to buy and sell our house. He is the best!
Jose & Trisha Hidalgo
Charlie & his team helped to sell our house less than two weeks after putting it on the market. He was professional and incredible helpful to us as we were first time sellers. I would highly recommend him!
Trevor Beaney & Beth Accardi
We purchased our home remotely (from NYC) and Charlie provided an incredible experience for us. He was there for us every step of the way and went beyond what a professional needed to do. While the process was a bit long and complicated due to the sellers, he ensured that everything was taken care of and that we received exactly what we agreed to. Thank you Charlie.
Michael Sproul & Emira Gjata
Charlie has rented my units for several years now. He is very effective and helpful. I've appreciated how much attention he brings to the process, from marketing and showing the unit, to guiding the new tenants through the process of moving in. Update: This year Charlie sold the unit in 10 days! He negotiated very farily on my behalf. Highly recommend Charlie!
William Hubbard
Charlie was terrific from day one through and including day of closing (and often went above and beyond)...would list with him again if I had other properties to sell.
Carolin Phillips
Charlie Rua and his associates provided excellent service throughout both our purchase and sales process. Charlie is professional, knowledgeable and driven for his customers. On top of that it is clear that he personally cares about his clients and wants to help them make a great sale or to buy their next dream home. My wife and I would highly recommend him.
Chuck and Marcela Poczik
Charlie guided us to our first home purchase and after that experience we are clients of his for life. Cannot recommend him highly enough whether you are a buyer or seller, first timer or veteran. You are in good hands with someone who knows the business and genuinely cares and feels like part of your team.
Daniel & Melissa Bustillo
Charlie is an incredible broker and I would highly recommend him. His only concern was to get me what I wanted – which defines customer service! Charlie is very professional yet makes you feel like an old friend.
Dinorah Maluf
As a first time renter, Xavier Durana was able to guide me through the tumultuous process of buying a home. They were able to explain everything clearly and with obvious insight. Their vast knowledge of the Miami market was very apparent, and because of that I was able to find my dream home for my family. Thank you!
David Garces
We had the pleasure of working with Rua Realty for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our existing home. It is a challenge to be concise in describing all Rua Realty has done for our family. Charlie has the unique ability to make you feel as if you are his only client. He is knowledgable about every aspect of buying and selling a home which takes a lot of pressure off each stage of the process. His professionalism, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. We never felt that he was just trying to sell us a house, but that he was a mentor to answer our questions and help us to make the best decision for our family. We highly recommend Rua Realty to anyone buying or selling a home. Thanks again to Charlie and the team at Rua Realty for being such a pleasure to work with!
Robert & Genevieve Jenkins
Charlie is very knowledgeable of the current market. With Charlie, we had an offer on our house in less than one month. He was also extremely helpful with the negotiation process in the purchase of our new home. Without hesitation I would recommend Charlie.
Eric & Stacey Muñoz
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Charlie! It was my first time selling a home, and he explained everything so thoroughly and made the experience so easy! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy, which is extremely important when you are letting someone into your home. He kept me informed every step of the way, and was attentive and responsive until the day I closed!
Gracie Colon
Mr. Rua was extremely helpful in the process of selling our investment property from the listing through the closing phase. He coordinated all the visits with the tenants and the potential buyers, kept us informed of the different showings, and guided us during the negotiations with the buyer. With his help, we were able to sell at our desired pricing. Overall, it was a great experience working wtih Mr. Rua.
Francisco & Annette Rivas-Vasquez
My family was very pleased to work with Mr. Rua. He is friendly, professional, and responsive. We look forward to working with him again in the future!
John & Andrea Poulos
Charlie was the broker for the house I bought. I wasn’t working with a realtor and since I felt comfortable with him I decided to let him represent me too. Charlie worked hard to get the price and terms to a point where the seller and I were both comfortable. He knows how to be attentive without being pushy. I’d work with him again.
Jorge K. Gonzalez
As first time home buyers, we couldn’t have been in better hands. Charlie was quick to respond to our many questions, and always provided sound advice. He went above and beyond in every way imaginable to help us get the house we loved. Forever thankful.
Jeffrey & Stephanie Lowell
Best broker in town! Highly recommend. He was able to find an exact match of what I was looking for and negotiated the price down by 20%. Moreover, anytime I require follow up assistance, Mr. Rua is there to lend a hand.
Diana Hoover
I had a problem property that involved several obstacles on a “cash only” deal. Charlie stuck with me through every twist and turn. He was dedicated, determined and resolute until we found the right buyer and closed within a few months of listing. This probably would have taken any other realtor 6mths to a year, or they would have given up. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, Charlie is the person to call. I’m so glad I did.
