Meet Oscar Donado
I’m a licensed Florida real estate broker and the host behind Kismet Getaways, a small collection of short-term rentals in the Miami area. I got into hosting because I wanted to offer guests something better than a big hotel chain — and being a broker means I also understand property, neighborhoods, and value in a way that helps both guests and clients. Whether you’re booking a stay or looking to buy, sell, or invest, you’re working directly with me — not a call center or a rotating cast of assistants.
How it works
How I Work
As a licensed broker who’s also a hands-on host, I bring the same personal, direct approach to both sides of the business.
Hosting, Done Personally
Every Kismet Getaways property is prepared, priced, and supported directly by me — not outsourced to a management company.
Real Estate, Done Directly
As a licensed broker, I bring that same hands-on approach to buying, selling, and investing in property.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you manage the rentals yourself?
Yes. I personally oversee every property under the Kismet Getaways brand, from preparation to guest communication.
Can you help me find a property just for short-term rental?
Yes — as a licensed broker, I can help you evaluate properties with rental potential in mind, not just resale value.
Do you only work with rental guests, or buyers and sellers too?
Both. I split my time between hosting short-term rentals under Kismet Getaways and representing buyers and sellers as a licensed Florida broker.
