Too Tired to Walk On Halloween?

 I’ve had a couple of clients who recently moved to Miami ask me where they can relax and enjoy a Halloween Party with their kids. If you live in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, Pinecrest, or Palmetto Bay you are in SO much luck! These communities are so exceptional, […]

Miami Home Prices Up 10.5% in August!

That was tucked away on page 3 of the Business Section in the Miami Herald today (had it been bad news it would have been plastered across the front page!). That 10.5% increase is reflective of the Miami real estate market since August 2013. I have been selling residential real […]

Trick or Treat on “Happy Street”!

I put my Halloween wares out last night. Actually, we carved a pumpkin about 10 days ago but with all the rain and heat it didn’t fare so well – it had a melt-down so to speak. Our house on “Happy Street” is ready for the Halloween Parade, which is […]

Lebron is LeGone!

Word is out that LeBron is officially clearing out of Miami, although he will remain in the hearts of locals and his spirit will forever remain at the American Airlines arena. The King’s Palace, very unassumingly located on a quiet side street in Coconut Grove, has been listed for $17,000,000. […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

Well this was a dramatic change, especially in South Miami! The original house was built in 1961 and occupied by the most wonderful family for over 50 years. Bettie and Frank may have been my very favorite neighbors, and when we sold this sweet house on the Snapper Creek Canal […]
