EB-5 & International Investment Real Estate
Meet Nelcida Chakoff
Economic, Business & Financial Consultant. Broker Associate and Investment Specialist with The Corcoran Group, advising multinational investors on Miami real estate and EB-5 related investment opportunities.
Professional background
A Practice Built Across Borders
Nelcida Chakoff is a trusted resource for multinational investors seeking safe, well-structured U.S. investments — from residential to commercial property — with a specialization in EB-5 and international investment real estate. A Realtor since 1995, she is today a Broker Associate and Investment Specialist with The Corcoran Group, licensed in Florida and New York.
Her practice bridges Miami's luxury and investment property market with cross-border capital relationships across Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. She holds a background in Economics from Florida International University, with study in Latin American and Caribbean Studies — a combination of finance, development and regional economics that shapes how she frames an opportunity for a family evaluating it from another country: structure first, then the property.

Areas of focus
Where the Work Concentrates
Miami Real Estate
Residential and investment property across Miami's waterfront and urban districts, presented only from approved developer materials — without projections, rankings or promises.
Financing for Foreign Nationals
As an NMLS-licensed professional, Nelcida helps foreign-national buyers navigate and structure the financing side of a U.S. purchase. She is not a lender; no financing approval, rate or outcome is promised or implied.
EB-5 Project Coordination
Where a development has an associated EB-5 investment structure, Nelcida coordinates introductions and approved materials. Immigration eligibility, petitions and legal advice are handled by qualified immigration counsel.
International experience
Relationships Built Region by Region
Nelcida's international orientation comes from sustained work abroad, not generic positioning. In the Dominican Republic she has maintained long-standing relationships spanning government, developers and investor networks. Across Latin America her investor outreach has included the Ballarena Group and the MLBPA in the Dominican Republic. In France her work included Château de Fleurac in the Dordogne. In China, through LPS Shanghai, she represented Dominican and U.S. developers to Asian investors pursuing Dominican citizenship-by-investment and U.S. EB-5 opportunities.
Client conversations are conducted in English and Spanish, with trilingual investor documentation — English, Spanish and French — supported within her team. She remains active in Dominican-American business and community life in South Florida.

Client philosophy
“Live who you are — at any level of the economic spectrum.”
"I don't just sell property — I guide families through one of the most important decisions of their lives, often across borders, languages and cultures. As an NMLS-licensed professional, I also help structure the financing side of the purchase for foreign-national investors, so clients aren't left navigating U.S. lending on their own. My clients trust me because I stay with them long after closing: through their residency process, their first years in the U.S., and every question in between. That kind of trust isn't transactional; it's built one relationship at a time, over thirty years."

Why international families choose Nelcida
Not a Transaction — Someone Who Stays
International families do not engage Nelcida simply to close on a property. They engage her to help make one of the largest decisions of their lives: a new country, and a new future for their children.
A New Country, Not Just a Property
The purchase is one part of a much larger move. Schools, timing, family logistics and long-term intentions are part of the conversation from the beginning.
Cross-Border Complexity
Decisions made from abroad, with family, over time — across time zones, documentation requirements and unfamiliar U.S. processes.
Language and Culture
Conversations in English and Spanish, with trilingual investor documentation supported within her team, and an understanding of what a family is navigating rather than only what they are buying.
After the Closing
She stays involved long after closing — through the residency process, the first years in the United States, and the questions that come later.
