About Etico

Management built on ethical decisions.

Etico means ethical. Every decision we make — on behalf of owners, residents, and our own team — is held to that standard. That's not a slogan. It's how we run the buildings.

What we do

Boutique management for Miami's small to medium-sized buildings.

Etico specializes in the small-building segment that institutional managers won't touch and mom-and-pop managers can't operate well. Our focus is small to medium-sized buildings — the size where operational complexity is high and good management is hardest to find.

We focus on asset types that demand more from operations: coliving and micro-units, furnished rentals, affordable residential, mid-rise apartments, and mixed-use. These are the buildings most managers say no to. We say yes — because we've built the systems to run them right.

The founding story

There was a gap in the Miami market. We built Etico to fill it.

The best operators were working on towers. The small buildings — the ones that needed real systems — were getting left behind.
— Harrison DeMaira, Co-Owner

Harrison DeMaira spent years in institutional property management — at Bozzuto, one of the country's most respected multifamily operators, and then at Common Living, where he helped launch and operate coliving communities that had never existed at that scale before. Sam Farman brought deep experience from Bozzuto's New York portfolio, and a property investor's perspective on what owners actually need from a management partner.

When Harrison arrived in Miami, the pattern was clear: the city's small to medium-sized buildings — its most character-rich, highest-potential small assets — were caught between managers who were too small to have real systems and institutions that wouldn't touch anything under 100 units. The buildings were underperforming. The owners were underserved. The residents were getting what was left over.

Etico was built to change that. Institutional-quality operations — leasing systems, preventative maintenance, real financial reporting, bilingual service — deployed at the scale where they'd make the biggest difference: the small buildings that make up the backbone of Miami's rental market.

What makes us different

Four ways Etico operates differently.

01

In-house operations.

We don't hand your building off to a network of third-party vendors. Our core team — leasing, maintenance, reporting — is in-house. You know who's responsible, and so do we.

02

Institutional-grade systems.

DoorLoop for property management, structured leasing pipelines, preventative maintenance schedules, and monthly close reporting — applied to buildings most managers run on spreadsheets and group texts.

03

Bilingual by default.

Miami is bilingual. Our leasing, maintenance dispatch, and resident communication run in English and Spanish — not as an add-on, but as the default operating standard.

04

Owner-aligned incentives.

We're a boutique firm, not a national franchise. Your building gets our real attention, not a delegated account manager. We manage to your NOI, and we have real conversations when something isn't working.

Asset expertise

Five asset classes. One operating standard.

Mid-Rise Residential

Boutique management for mid-rise apartment buildings, with an owner-focused approach to leasing, maintenance, and reporting.

Co-living & Micro-units

Specialists in the operational complexity of co-living communities and micro-unit buildings — from furnished rooms to flexible lease structures.

Affordable Residential

Ethical, attentive management that keeps affordable residential properties well-operated for both owners and residents.

The team

Built and operated by people who have done this before.

Our team comes from Bozzuto, AvalonBay, and Common Living. We've run thousands of units at the institutional level — and we've brought those systems to the small buildings that need them most.
