My Story

Born in Buenos Aires. Built in Miami.

Max Cufari is a licensed Florida real estate broker with over a decade of experience advising buyers, sellers, and investors across South Florida. Born in Buenos Aires and based in Miami, he brings an international perspective, cultural fluency, and disciplined execution to every transaction.

In 2026, Max joined the Scott Shuffield Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty — working under the leadership of Scott Shuffield, whose team was recognized as the #1 Small Team in 2025. The move brought additional resources, a broader referral network, and the operational depth of one of South Florida's most decorated real estate groups.

Today he focuses on The Roads, Coconut Grove, and Coral Gables, where he provides hyper-local insight, private listing access, and real-time market intelligence. Through consistent market reports and a strong local network, he helps clients understand what homes are actually selling for — not just what is listed — so every decision is strategic, not reactive.

His approach is tailored and discreet. From pricing strategy to negotiation, every transaction is handled with clarity, efficiency, and a singular focus on protecting the client's time, capital, and privacy.

The Approach

"Calm analysis. Long-term positioning. Decisive execution."

Beyond Real Estate

The chess player's edge

Outside of real estate, Max is an internationally competitive chess player who has competed against top grandmasters and developed his own chess variant, Capto Chess. He also participates in scholastic tournaments, helping young players build strategic thinking skills.

This discipline is not separate from his professional approach — it shapes it. In chess as in real estate, the strongest position is built before the market moves. The client who wins is the one who has already thought three moves ahead.

Pattern Recognition

Years of reading the board translate directly to reading market conditions — identifying when to move, when to hold, and when a listing is priced to lose before it launches.

Long-Term Positioning

The best real estate decisions account for what the market will look like in three years, not just what it looks like today. Max builds strategy accordingly.

Decisive Execution

Analysis without action is useless. When the moment is right — on an offer, a counter, a listing price — Max moves with confidence and clarity.

Where I Work

Three markets. Deep in each.

Rather than covering all of Miami-Dade, Max maintains genuine expertise in three distinct neighborhoods — knowing not just the listings, but the blocks, the history, and the buyers actively searching in each.

Primary Focus

The Roads

Miami's most architecturally rich enclave. Historic homes, mature oak canopy, and a tightly held inventory that rewards deep local knowledge. Max publishes The Roads Market Report monthly and knows every active listing, off-market opportunity, and neighborhood nuance.

Bayside Village

Coconut Grove

One of Miami's oldest and most beloved communities, Coconut Grove offers bayfront living, mature canopy streets, and a village character unlike anywhere else in the city. A fiercely loyal buyer pool, historic estates, and a walkable village core make the Grove a natural extension of The Roads market — and one where Max's understanding of character-driven neighborhoods translates directly.

Historic Elegance

Coral Gables

One of South Florida's most coveted addresses — Mediterranean architecture, top-ranked schools, and a stable market that consistently outperforms broader Miami trends. A natural complement to The Roads for buyers seeking generational property.

The Team

Led by Scott Shuffield

Max is part of the Scott Shuffield Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, operating under the leadership of Scott Shuffield — one of South Florida's most recognized real estate professionals and a trusted name across the Miami market for over two decades.

In 2025, the group earned recognition as the #1 Small Team — a distinction built on consistent results, client trust, and a standard of service that defines everything the team does. Working with Max means access to the full depth of that network: transaction data, referral connections, and the operational strength of a top-ranked group.

When you work with Max, you don't just hire an agent — you get the full weight of a #1-ranked team behind every call, every offer, and every closing.

What Sets This Apart

Three commitments. Every client.

01

International Perspective

Born in Buenos Aires, Max speaks fluent English, Spanish, and Portuguese — and has lived and traveled extensively across Latin America and Europe. For sellers, that reach is a real advantage. Miami's most serious buyers often come from international markets, and a significant share of that demand arrives in Spanish or Portuguese. Max communicates with those buyers directly, without friction, so nothing gets lost in translation and no opportunity slips through.

02

Data Before Opinion

The Roads Market Report is published monthly and distributed to hundreds of neighborhood residents. Max doesn't arrive at a listing appointment with guesses — he arrives with evidence. Pricing strategy, negotiation positions, and market timing are all built on current data, not instinct.

03

A Full Team Working for You

As part of the Scott Shuffield Group — the #1 ranked small team in 2025 — Max brings the full strength of a high-performing team to every transaction. That means more resources, deeper connections, and more firepower behind every negotiation. You're not hiring one agent. You're bringing an entire group to the table, all working toward the same outcome: yours.
