LUCKY YOU if you live in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, High Pines (and Ponce corridor), or Pinecrest, because they are Farmers’ Market communities!

There are some spectacular condominium developments sprouting in Miami but the proverbial ‘crème de la crème’ is the FAENA HOUSE, one of seven Faena creations in the FAENA DISTRICT MIAMI BEACH.

Are You An Unmarried Couple Thinking About Buying A Home?

I’ve worked with unmarried couples that decided to purchase and settle before marrying; and I’ve worked with couples that will not be marrying – not in the State of Florida, anyway. The Miami Herald published a great article last week on this topic. If you are thinking about buying a home with […]

‘It Takes a Village’ to Successfully Buy or Sell a Home

It takes more than a willing Buyer and Seller to close a real estate transaction, especially in today’s market where low inventory can produce stress and hasty decisions.

Why You Should Determine Your Insurance Rates During the Inspection Period!

I have seen some jubilant Buyers turn ashen-white when they learn what their insurance premiums are going to be. In many of those instances the “insurance bomb” is dropped just a few days before closing – when there is no turning back. This past week I have been working with […]
