The Square Foot Group

What The Square Foot Group does

The Square Foot Group is a privately-held, Miami-based real estate services firm founded in 2018 (per firmographic data) by Jean Luc Guedj and Adlene Ezzekmi. It operates in South Florida across Miami Dade and Broward counties, covering submarkets including Miami Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and Davie. The company delivers a vertically integrated suite of property services: short-term rental management (achieving 85%+ occupancy under Superhost-certified booking platform listings), long-term rental management (for leases exceeding six months, including tenant screening, lease drafting, and MLS listing), general property management with customizable packages, home staging, and real estate investment consulting tailored to foreign (French, Canadian, Quebecois) buyers. Brokerage activity is conducted under the licensing umbrella of Landmark Realty Solutions, a Licensed Real Estate Broker for Sales & Rentals.

The firm's core technology posture is minimal: it operates as a traditional services business with no proprietary platform, no disclosed API or SDK, and no mobile application. Service delivery relies on human expertise supported by standard industry tooling, and the website is maintained by an affiliated developer (Peechy Creation LTD). The bilingual (French/English) website and dedicated US and France phone lines indicate a deliberate go-to-market posture to capture francophone overseas clients, particularly foreign investors seeking exposure to Miami real estate.

The revenue model is a mix of recurring managed services fees (short-term and long-term rental property management), one-off transaction fees (real estate sales commissions and tenant placement), and project-based professional services (home staging and investment consulting). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, with packages customizable to owner needs. Customer segments are entirely SMB and individual — property owners, tenants, and individual foreign investors — with no enterprise or institutional clients referenced. The firm has no disclosed venture capital, institutional investment, or public listing.
