In Miami – the vibrant heart of South Florida – where the real estate market continues to defy gravity, a name has emerged synonymous with innovation, expertise, and quality service—Joshua Tomey. Over the last two decades, Tomey has carved a quiet but remarkable niche managing some of the region’s most sought-after residential properties. Today, he and his partners stand at the helm of Black Briar Management, a burgeoning property management and real estate consulting firm that is reshaping how residential real estate operates in this market. Alongside his management company, Tomey has also launched the Sun Sand and Sold Podcast, quickly becoming a beacon for Miami’s elite circle of real estate, finance, and politics experts.
“Having been in the multifamily development business for nearly 20 years, I can safely say there is only one Josh Tomey,” says Michael Tillman, CEO and CIO of development and private equity firm PTM Partners. “He is more than a property management expert. His understanding of the development process and the drivers behind efficiencies and challenges alike make him both unique in his field and to his clients.”
The inception of Black Briar Management was not just another addition to South Florida’s already crowded property management industry; it marked the birth of a new era in how residences are built and operated.
“Black Briar is a shared and passionate vision with Mark,” Tomey says of the company and his partner and co-founder, Mark Blackburn. “We spent years refining the paradigm shift that only now we’ve been able to fully realize.”
With an astute understanding of market dynamics, constantly evolving regulations, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Black Briar Management has attracted some of the industry’s most influential developers and operators within a remarkably short time frame. This rapid ascent speaks volumes about Tomey, Blackburn, and their firm’s dedication to setting new benchmarks in property management. Tomey’s newly launched podcast, featuring co-host and prominent real estate and construction attorney David Haber, is a mirror of Black Briar Management’s imagination of how information, intelligence, and relationships will change the industry landscape.
“Black Briar Management and Sun Sand and Sold obviously reflect the new and undeniably hot South Florida marketplace,” Tomey asserts with confidence. “But they are also both about bringing us to a better, more informed, more successful, more grounded place in real estate development and management.” His ventures are not merely keeping pace but actively shaping Miami’s extraordinary growth trajectory and its surrounding regions. This statement encapsulates his ambition and profound connection to South Florida’s evolving landscape.
At Black Briar Management, clients find more than just property management services; they discover a residential business partner committed to maximizing their assets’ value while ensuring seamless operation. The firm’s approach combines meticulous attention to detail with innovative strategies that anticipate market trends rather than react to them. By focusing on long-term successes over short-term gains, Black Briar positions itself as a forward-thinking leader in an industry often criticized for shortsightedness and quick-fix tactics.
Simultaneously, through his Sun Sand and Sold Podcast, Tomey has created an invaluable platform for dialogue among Miami’s luminaries. Each episode delves into current trends affecting real estate development, finance policies influencing investment climates, or political shifts impacting urban planning. These discussions not only enlighten viewers and listeners but also contribute significantly to shaping informed public opinion on critical issues facing South Florida today.
What sets Joshua Tomey apart from others is his impressive track record and his innovative ventures; his ethos is his genuine passion for enhancing community living standards through responsible management practices and informed discourse. His work embodies a unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit tempered by social responsibility—a combination that resonates deeply within South Florida’s diverse communities.
Moreover, Black Briar Management’s strategic partnerships underscore its holistic approach towards property management. By collaborating with local businesses and service providers while keeping awareness of practical and environmental issues in urban spaces, Tomey champions neighborhood and eco-friendly solutions that align with South Florida’s emphasis on growth while recognizing the need for sustainability in housing and the workforce.
As Joshua Tomey and his partners continue to navigate through uncharted territories in real estate management with Black Briar Management—and as he brings together thought leaders on Sun Sand and Sold—he does so not just as an entrepreneur but as an advocate for progress and understands deeply what makes South Florida tick.
Indeed, it would be remiss not to recognize how these ventures collectively offer more than just insights into successful property management or engaging discussions on pressing topics—they embody a vision for what Miami and the surrounding region can become: a place where growth is both ambitious and conscientious; where innovation thrives alongside tradition; where voices find a listener keen on turning dialogue into meaningful action. Perhaps this is why Tomey, Black Briar Management—and by extension, Sun Sand and Sold—stand out distinctly: They’re not merely reflecting changes in the marketplace; they’re driving them towards better horizons.
