FOR VARIOUS  REASONS,  SOMETIMES  A HOME-OWNER WANTS TO SELL  but wants…   

                                      1)  NO  FOR SALE SIGN  ON THEIR PROPERTY 

                                      2)  NO OPEN-HOUSES     and

                                      3)  NO LISTING    IN THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE (MLS) …

THE  TREND IN SOUTH FLORIDA: 

MIAMI HOME BUYERS ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES WITH EASY PEDESTRIAN ACCESS  TO AMENITIES. 

THERE IS A WEBSITE WALK SCORE  WHERE YOU CAN PLUG IN AN ADDRESS TO SEE HOW ‘WALKABLE”  YOUR PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD OR HOME IS.  IT WILL GIVE YOU DISTANCES, AS THE CROW FLIES, FROM ANY ADDRESS TO THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS, STORES, MALLS, SHOPS.   

HOW YOUR HOUSE OR CONDO IS MARKETED FOR SALE  IS WORTH GIVING SOME THOUGHT TO.  “LOCATION IS EVERYTHING”.  GETTING AROUND WITHOUT A CAR MAKES PROPERTY MORE APPEALING TO HOME BUYERS, ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

CONVENIENCE  DOES ADD VALUE… BUYERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THAT CAN AND DO PAY MORE FOR HOMES WITH PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO LOCAL AMENITIES: RESTAURANTS, DRY CLEANERS, SHOPS AND BOOK STORES… A BIG SELLING POINT. 

BABY BOOMERS AND FIRST-TIME HOME OWNERS  (WHO COMPRISE A SIZEABLE  POOL OF CURRENT HOMEBUYERS)DO NOT WANT TO BE ISOLATED.  Read the rest of this entry »

The ever-popular George’s in the Grove has expanded to the South Miami area. The restaurant opened it’s doors on July 8 and is now open for business! The French restaurant has been open in Coconut Grove since May 2008 and has had much success with it’s complimentary champagne and delicious meals. They feature brunch, lunch and dinner. If you’re a fan of George’s in the Grove, definitely check out their new location at 1549 Sunset Drive. Cheers!

ONE OF THE BENEFITS BEING A REALTOR, IS  GETTING TO PREVIEW  NEWLY LISTED PROPERTIES AT  WEDNESDAY BROKERS OPEN HOUSES.  HERE IS ONE  THAT STOOD OUT RECENTLY. IT IS QUITE SPECIAL… IN  MANY WAYS

I ACTUALLY SAW THIS HOUSE  A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO … BEFORE THE CURRENT OWNERS PURCHASED IT.  IT WAS LOVELY THEN, BUT    NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT IS IS NOW.  THEY’VE RENOVATED IT SINCE… AND IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR NOW.  FOR SALE NOW AT JUST UNDER $2.5 MILLION… JUST TWO YEARS LATER.
