In the midst of this unprecedented pandemic The Suburban Jungle’s newest division, South Florida is helping nervous city-dwellers to make moves. Supporting the urban defection as well as local Miami and tri-county families looking for a new place to nest, Suburban Jungle strategists are on the ground providing an insider’s view of all things obvious and intangible about South Florida’s several coastal cities and their residents. The real estate advisory and tech company comes south after serving communities in New York, Washington DC, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Austin, Philadelphia, The Hamptons and San Francisco.

“We are very busy,” says Suburban Jungle Founder and President, Alison Bernstein. “This whole thing is catastrophic, and petrifying for families in urban areas. People want out of the cities- and now. With some of the newer roadblocks in place with regards to purchasing, they are finding solace in the ability to connect with us, begin their process, and ultimately imagine a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Suburban Jungle, the only of its kind real estate advisory and tech platform focused on taking families from Urban to Suburban has always focused on the non real estate part of the real estate industry. The team of objective strategists describe their jobs as 2% real estate and 98% psychology. As COVID 19 fears mount, and interest rates fall, new clients and the reemergence of stalled clients are sharply on the rise. Many of these families are reaching out from their relief rentals outside major cities; fully enjoying the fresh-air, backyard life and of course, space. It appears a little taste of the green life goes a long way. And while other companies might have been scrambling at this moment to get their remote force in order, the SJ employee pool has since inception enjoyed the flex option of remote working -making the surge fairly seamless.

Most obviously, there is no shortage of advantages to a Gold Coast move. Warm weather, property and tax affordability, and college education incentives are enormously enticing especially for emigrating urbanites ready to score more for their money- and of course space.

“While there is sun and sand in much of the region, every place is unique. Delray, Parkland, Boca and Miami Beach are all great … but they all have their nuances- and not all of them will be right for you,” says Bernstein. “This life choice warrants a great deal of personal attention, even if you are in panic mode. Should you end up in the wrong place, it could be a very costly mistake; both financially and emotionally.”

How it works: A client will begin the process by going to the Suburban Jungle company website and scheduling a time to chat with a strategist or opting for the AI questionnaire; providing key information about their family and what they are looking for in their new community. Using technology and proprietary methodology, the company is able to customize a “home search strategy” delivered via app in minutes —list of towns and details that will fulfill the individual wishes of the client as well as insider's guides. The strategist is available via chat or call to discuss further the nuances for these towns, how they are different from one another and help the family uncover all of the things that they cannot discover simply by searching online. An additional layer of due diligence will occur when the team adds in the Suburban Jungle locals from whom they can learn more about what it is actually like to live within these respective communities. Should they decide they are ready to begin their property search, they will be connected with a Suburban Jungle partner agent who will ultimately bring them home. Free of charge, the advice and insight provided is completely objective. The company currently serves the markets of New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Austin, The District of Columbia, Boston, Chicago, South Florida and the Hamptons, NY.

“Our company is based on the premise that community is everything and with our new normal, communities are showing their colors- some more brightly than others,” says Bernstein. We are gathering new data daily to serve the needs of our evolving clientele- and we know the consumer is counting on us now more than ever.”
