Need A Loan To Own? Approval Process Has Its Challenges October 25th, 2013
seller Mortgage Money Cheap for Creditworthy Buyers Unless you've been living under a clump of seaweed for a while, then you're likely aware that home and condo sales in Miami are at an all-time high resulting in low inventories, and often times, buyers competing for the same property--better known as a "bidding war", so typical of a market clash between supply and demand. While this describes today's cycle of the buying market in many neighborhoods, it won't take long for you to...

Miami’s Real Estate Market Booming Post-Election November 21st, 2012
Negative 'Vote 2012' Over--Local Housing Market Remains Positive Because there's a chance you are as fed up as I am from all of the unpleasant campaign ads and debates of the 2012 elections, I am glad to report that now is a good time to shift your focus away from the negativity and direct attention to something more positive, honest and certain: Miami's real estate market, for instance, which has been on fire and it's not burning to the ground anytime...
Realtor Scam Artists Beware! September 25th, 2012
I rarely write disparaging remarks about other professionals in my field, and even now I will not name names, but I have to say that I am disappointed by the lack of ethics some Realtors possess when it comes to "getting ahead" or being aggressive in retaining new clients. Over the past several months I have, on two occasions, seen my listings claimed by other Realtors as their own, listing themselves as the listing agent and directing those interested in the...
Cloisters Dream Home with Championship Vibe! September 11th, 2012
As a current Cloisters on the Bay resident, I can only say that, although we are sad our NBA neighbor James Posey will be leaving our beautiful neighborhood, I am excited that a new person or family will get to share the grogeous views and Coconut Grove-vibe I am lucky enough to enjoy every day. The Grove is, in my opinion, one of the best parts of Miami to live in - just take a look at what Mr. Posey himself had...

As Tropical Storm Isaac (hopefully never-to-be-called Hurricane Isaac) prepares to make his way through the Caribbean and onwards towards South Florida, now is the time to make sure you are ready for all the what-if scenarios that come with storms of this nature. NBC provides us with a great Hurricane Preparedness List that can be found by clicking here. It's never too late to get stocked up, and it's definitely better to be safe rather than sorry.

Back to School Means Back to Real Estate August 20th, 2012
For many of you, today was officially the end of summer as you got back into your routine of morning drop-offs, carpools and after-school activities. In the real estate world this means our "slow" months are also winding down, as people are turning their attention away from vacation plans and back to finding their next home or deciding whether or not now is the right time to sell their current one. I can tell you that now is a great time to sell,...
Market Update June 18th, 2012
Everyday, one of the first things I do when I contemplate the day is to scan news sites familiarizing myself with what is happening in our ever-changing South Florida real estate market. The good news seems to keep pouring in. On a daily basis, it’s easy to find articles from national outlets that point to an increase in real estate prices and greater buyer demand. The “not-so-good” news is a rapid decrease in inventory. A particular article I read on Forbes.com,...
