One of our founding agents at Compass Miami, Levi Meyer, is back on the pod to give us the latest on the Miami market, updates on developments in Brickell, and new HOA and Condominium Board regulations.
A few fun facts about Levi: He’s a fifth-generation Floridian and a longtime Coral Gables resident. He’s one of 9 siblings, an Israeli military vet, and he grew up attending Rabbinate school. Before he was selling Miami’s most prestigious homes, Levi was in the business of selling arms and ammunition (yes, you read that right).
Levi is also deeply involved in his community. He serves on the boards of several charities, including United Hatzalah and The Friendship Circle of Greater Miami, and he’s the President and Chairman of the Chabad of Coconut Grove. He lives in Coral Gables with his amazing wife Lauren and their two beautiful kids, Benjamin and Charlotte.
While Levi’s real estate achievements are impressive—he’s ranked in the top 1% in our industry—what’s even more special is our friendship. He’s one of my oldest friends at Compass, he officiated my wedding, and I’m lucky to have a guy like Levi in my life.

I'm thrilled to have my good friend and industry colleague Maggie Wu on the Real Takk Pod! Maggie, the youngest of three, was raised in Hong Kong before moving to the US to attend the prestigious Peddie School in Hightstown, NJ. She then majored in Economics and Business at NYU.
Upon graduation, Maggie made a brief foray into VC before joining the real estate business. She quickly rose to the top of our industry, with successful tenures at Corcoran, Compass, Serhant, and then back to Compass. (Welcome back!)
Maggie founded her own team, The W Team, almost a year ago and has since been featured in esteemed publications such as Business Insider’s 30 Under 35 (2022), The Hollywood Reporter’s New York Power Brokers (2022), The Real Deal, Inman, HousingWire, The Wall Street Journal, and RealTrends. Maggie has been honored as one of the top 0.5% of agents nationally in The Wall Street Journal's The Thousand 2024, ranked among Compass's Top Ten Small Teams, and achieved #17 in NYC and #27 in NY State small teams by volume in The Wall Street Journal/Real Trends 2024. While her professional accomplishments are astonishing, she is just as accomplished and impressive as a person!
I'm proud to have her as a friend and colleague. Danielle Stout (co-host) and I had such a fun time recording this episode. Please give it a listen!

I'm very pleased to have Nick Bowers on the Real Takk Podcast. Nick is one of the best lawyers focused on real estate & estate matters. We talk about the importance of creating an estate for your family, the costs, in which scenario estate law supersedes coop & condo boards, and the house rules that govern their operation. Does the coop stock & lease supersede the legal will? What happens when a death takes place and the real estate is left to their 'next of kin'? Nick is here to answer the TOUGH questions.
I connected around 7 years ago at a real estate closing & had a few opportunities to work with my clients on various estate matters. Nick is a lifelong New Yorker, born & raised in Manhattan & grew up in the Flatiron area where we are recording today. This is an important episode that everybody should listen to not just for financial reasons, but to ensure that your family is protected in the long term.
We’ll get to know more about Nick shortly, but to give you his general background, he did his undergrad in BU, law school at Pace, and currently runs an office of lawyers with his new partner Andrew Jorges whom I work closely with on a day to day basis on our deals.
Nick has glowing reviews online which I’ll share a few excerpts from:
Kevin G writes: “I rarely have an experience with a positive lawyer. I always get stuck with a bill that is unexpectedly high or getting shuffled between junior less experienced lawyers. That said, working with Nick has been awesome. He is thoughtful and thorough. He takes ownership for his work and follows the steps and details of the transaction closely.”
Dan P writes: Nick made me feel like I was his only client (although I know I wasn't) with remarkably quick and accurate responses. I've done 19 real estate transactions, and Nick is head and shoulders above the rest in managing closes. I would recommend Nick to anyone. Many thanks Nick.“
