Messi Effect: wave of inquiries to invest or migrate to Miami

According to statistics from Miami Realtors, Argentines are in the number 4 position among American foreigners who searched for properties in Miami during July and August 2023. Accountants, lawyers, realtors and others began to receive an unusual number of inquiries to invest in properties, or to obtain an investment visa that allows you to settle in the northern country. In addition, the interest of Argentines in selling products and services in the international market has increased following the opening of a company in the United States.

“The calls from Argentina this last month have been notably higher than those registered in previous months, and after the elections they even increased their flow,” says Susy Chemen, owner of an accounting firm that is dedicated, among other services, to migrating the operations of companies and professionals to the United States.

“SMEs from all sectors call us that are exporting goods or services but feel that they lose a lot of money when they charge dollars at the official price, as well as professionals who provide services abroad and want to be able to charge in dollars for their work or sales. . “Both end up opening a company here in a few days and can now begin to operate without problems to have their money in hard currency,” he highlights.

Messi effect

The arrival of the Argentine star to South Florida was an ideal combination for the real estate market. Since Lionel Messi signed for Inter Miami, the city has experienced a true revolution, not only in sports, but also in the real estate market: when it seemed that rental and property sales values ​​had reached their ceiling, “Messimanía” took them even higher, and many believe that they will continue to rise.

“In 2024 the country will host the Copa América, with all that that represents, and in 2026 nothing more and nothing less than the World Cup, with which I am convinced that values ​​will continue to rise as a result of the incessant demand from from foreigners and also locals,” explains Sergio Vuguin, Argentine, who has been working as a realtor at Inmobiliata LLC for more than 15 years.
