Taylor Pate

Taylor's love for Miami was instantaneous when she first visited the city in 2022, sparking a goal to relocate from her native Virginia Beach and become a local of South Florida. She made that dream a reality by moving to Coral Gables and joining the Riley Smith Group under Compass Real Estate in 2026. 

What sets Taylor apart is her fresh perspective and passion for the city she now calls home. With firsthand insight into the relocation process, she is especially well-positioned to assist clients transitioning into the Miami lifestyle, from rentals to long-term homeownership. She thrives on the opportunity to guide individuals through one of life's most significant decisions. Her love for Miami's rich history, stunning architecture, scenic streets, and vibrant, diverse culture fuels her enthusiasm for the real estate market here. 

Before transitioning into her role as a real estate advisor, Taylor built over four years of experience in apartment leasing, giving her a strong understanding of Miami’s pricing trends and the natural progression from tenant to property owner. This background makes her exceptionally skilled at assisting clients through various stages, whether they are new to Miami, securing a rental, or preparing to purchase their first property. 

With a genuine passion for connecting with people, she has made it her mission to help clients find their dream homes and embark on exciting new chapters of their lives. Outside of real estate, you can find her practicing and teaching yoga, exploring the city's eclectic thrift stores, or savoring new culinary experiences at local restaurants.
