Emerging players

• Propy: Tech-enabled platform facilitating remote international purchase of US real estate. Comparable as an emerging alternative channel for the same foreign-buyer segment Bahia targets, but using a tech/proptech model rather than a traditional brokerage.

Broad incumbents

• Compass: National tech-enabled brokerage with a substantial Miami presence serving both domestic and international buyers. Comparable because it competes for the same Miami residential and luxury buyer pool, but is far larger and has its own proprietary technology stack.
• RE/MAX: Global franchise with significant Miami-area agent count and cross-border buyer programs. Comparable as a competing brokerage model for international investors in Miami, though broader and less specialized than Bahia.
• Coldwell Banker: Global real estate franchise with strong Miami/South Florida presence and a well-developed international referral network. Comparable because it serves international buyers and has established affiliate programs in Latin America — the same buyer segment Bahia targets.

Direct peers

• The Keyes Company: Independent Florida-focused brokerage with strong Miami presence and a historical focus on serving Latin American and European buyers. Comparable because it directly competes for the same South Florida international residential buyer base.
• Florida Realty of Miami: Miami-based residential brokerage with multilingual capacity that serves foreign buyers in South Florida. Comparable as a similar-sized regional brokerage competing for the same international residential buyer segment.
• EWM Realty International: Miami-based brokerage with a dedicated international division serving South American and European buyers. Comparable in geographic focus, international buyer concentration, and Miami luxury/residential mix.
• Real Estate Sales Force (RESF): Miami-based real estate firm with significant exposure to international and Latin American buyers, particularly from Venezuela, Colombia, and Argentina. Comparable as a similarly positioned competitor in the cross-border Miami buyer segment.
• Miami Real Estate Group: Boutique Miami brokerage focused on residential and investment properties, often serving international buyers. Comparable as a similarly-sized regional competitor in the same Miami submarket.
• International Realty Group: Brokerage focused on international buyers purchasing US real estate, with significant activity in Florida. Comparable as a niche foreign-buyer-oriented brokerage with overlapping target customer profile.
