THE RITZ-CARLTON RESIDENCES
MIAMI BEACH | DARIN TANSEY

He’s already there. No waiting around for building management to approve viewings. No coordinating schedules with concierge teams. When an opportunity comes up—and they come up fast in this market—Darin can get you in front of it immediately. That’s huge when you’re dealing with properties that sell before they even hit the market.

Darin knows everyone who matters. The developers at Lionheart Capital? They’re not business contacts—they’re people he sees regularly. Building management? They’re his neighbors. This isn’t about networking events and exchanging business cards. These are real relationships built over years of actually living in the community.

He sees the deals first. Before units get listed publicly, before other agents even know they’re available, Darin’s already hearing about them. That’s the difference between living somewhere and just working there. And in a building with only 126 total units, being first to know can mean everything.

He gets better deals. When you have genuine relationships with the people making pricing decisions, things happen differently. It’s not about pulling strings—it’s about being part of the community where these decisions get made.

What Working with a Resident Agent Actually Looks Like

Forget everything you think you know about buying luxury real estate. When you work with someone who lives in the building, the entire experience changes.

From your first call, Darin doesn’t just know the building specs—he knows how the building actually lives. Which units get the best morning light. Which floors are quietest. Which amenities residents actually use versus the ones that just look good in photos. You can’t get that kind of insight from someone who’s never spent a night there.

When you want to see units, other agents need to make appointments and coordinate with building staff. Darin lives there, so you move on your schedule, not the building’s. Want to see something at 7 PM on a Tuesday? No problem. Need to do a quick walk-through on the weekend? Done.

During negotiations, you’re not working with someone who has to call someone who knows someone. Darin talks directly to the people who make decisions. When you’re spending millions, having that direct line matters more than you might think.

After you close, here’s where most agents disappear. But Darin? He’s literally your neighbor. Questions about building policies? Need a recommendation? He’s not going anywhere because this is his home too.

The Real Advantage of Working with an Insider 

When your agent is part of the community, not just visiting it, opportunities present themselves differently. Darin knows which units have the best views, which floors have the most privacy, and which layouts work best for different lifestyles. Not because he studied floor plans, but because he’s lived here long enough to understand how the building actually works.

In a building with only 126 units, off-market deals happen more often than you’d think. Residents sometimes want to sell quietly before going public. When that happens, Darin usually hears about it first because he’s part of the community where these conversations happen naturally.

When building management sees you with Darin, you’re not just another buyer—you’re a potential neighbor. That changes how you’re treated, what information you get access to, and how seriously your offers are taken.

Why This Matters for Your Investment

Buying at Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach isn’t like buying any other property. With only 126 total units and a waiting list of qualified buyers, every advantage matters.

Speed matters. The best opportunities move fast, and being connected to the building’s daily rhythm means seeing those opportunities first.
Relationships matter. When you’re making a multi-million-dollar investment, having someone who can pick up the phone and get real answers—or better yet, walk down the hall—makes a difference.
Local knowledge matters. Understanding not just what a unit offers on paper, but how it actually lives, can save you from expensive mistakes and help you find hidden gems.
