Future Residents

Situation: Jose is an IT businessman, and his wife, Clara, is a pharmacist. They have two children who attend college in Brazil.

Motivation: The main goal of Jose and Clara’s family is financial security and future definitive relocation to the USA within five years.

Product of interest: Purchase of residence for their use.

The investment made: Jose and Clara visited the USA several times, mainly the cities east of Florida and Manhattan Island in New York. Jose and Clara did not like cold weather for a long time, but they also did not feel comfortable with the harsh climate of Florida - too much humidity, hurricanes, and heavy rains did not cheer them up. Jose is expanding his business in the US, and Clara wants to return to school. After assessing the situation and drawing up an action strategy, Bare Direct and our local partner raised some options, with the pros and cons of each one, discussed them thoroughly, and the couple concluded that the ideal place for them is the city of Austin, Texas, where they had never even considered visiting and, as soon as they did, it was love at first sight.

Retiring Soon

Situation: A Portuguese couple with adult children is preparing for retirement. Both speak fluent English and are active, like art, music, and good food. They love Florida and are already used to the weather and humidity. However, they had a requirement; they wanted to live in something other than the region of Miami or Orlando. They wanted a place where they could make friends of the same age group, with plenty of local restaurants, outdoor activities, and festivals.

Motivation: The main reasons for the Braga family are financial security, capital protection, passive income, and a place to live in the US for 5 to 6 months a year.

Product of Interest: A cozy single-story house in a good location with easy access to the airport, services, and hospitals. When vacant, the property could be rented seasonally to amortize maintenance costs. Additionally, they considered investing in rental apartments.

The Investment Made: After evaluating the options raised by Bare Direct and our local partner, the Braga family was delighted with the city of Sarasota, Florida, located on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, close to Tampa and St. Petersburg. Surrounded by good airports, beautiful beaches, and extensive activities, the Braga family did not doubt that Sarasota would be their home for a few months a year. They chose a property in a 55Plus community - dedicated to seniors - with several services available and an excellent location. They plan to invest in multifamily apartments to gain passive income the following year.

The Young Publicist

Situation: Ana is young and in high demand for a job as a publicist. She works in a multinational company with offices in Sao Paulo and Miami. Her profession requires her to travel often between the two cities. Although she is passionate about her job, she confesses that recently, she has been tired of the routine - many days in a hotel, uncomfortable pillows, and many hours spent planning her "wardrobe" each trip. Ana wanted to make Miami her second home, where she could leave her things behind, have more comfort, and travel lighter.

Motivation: Work and safety. Ana approached us with the following question: "I want to have a property in Miami, but I do not feel safe in the city. When I question people where I should invest, I get generic answers... I feel insecure if I should proceed".

Product of Interest: Ana wanted a studio or small apartment in Miami, with easy access to her office and its main clients, low maintenance costs, and a good location in a good neighborhood with low crime rates.

The Investment Made: Ana’s proposal was challenging, as the benefits and conveniences of a vibrant city like Miami are also accompanied by the typical problems known to most metropolises: traffic, high cost of real estate, and above-average crime. Bare Direct and its local partner surveyed the best options for areas, considering Ana’s concerns and budget. Today, she has a full-functioning wardrobe and a super comfortable pillow in a gorgeous Condo on Coral Way.

Where They First Met

Situation: Luigi and Valentina have lived in the US for more than ten years and have always cultivated the possibility of buying a house in Colorado, where they met and spent their holidays whenever possible. Their careers and the children postponed this dream until the family entrusted Bare Direct with finding their perfect place.

Motivation: Luigi and Valentina wanted the properties they visited to be better quality. Some needed extensive renovation, some seemed far from everything, and others were too close. Discouraged with little time to outline the possibilities, the couple came to us.

Product of Interest: A modern architectural house with a dedicated quarter for their employees, access to the ski track, clubhouse, and an excellent location.

The Investment Made: Aspen was the desired address, and a specific modernist house blew their minds. The new residence needed updating, but nothing drastic. Bare Direct followed the choice of professionals involved in the purchase and renovation, and five months later, Luigi and Valentina met again, this time accompanied by their children and their ski equipment.

John & John

Situation: A married couple with no children seeks residence in California.

Motivation: John and John are British partners in business and life. They are successful professionals who are already established and travel to California frequently. Due to the long distance, they debated the possibility of buying a property in San Francisco, where they spend most of their time during their trips to the US. They approached Bare Direct to discuss the decision, fine-tune their search, and evaluate other possibilities.

Product of Interest: An apartment in a good location, with good services, close to excellent restaurants, and easy access to the airport.
