We wanted to build a Miami luxury condo tower. - 09/16/07 07:35 PM
In 2003 I pitched the idea of developing in Miami to a group of developers from New England.  The group had never heard of “pre-construction” selling and wanted to learn more. In the Northeast US, institutional investors have a higher level of confidence in demand statistics and are willing to put money into development without sales.  TO these developers, the idea of selling prior to building sounded like a dream.  Pre-construction is a relatively new concept.  Traditionally, first you build, then you sell.  Go to New York and you will find that this is the way condo development is done.  For … (8 comments)

Miami Real Estate - Case study: Grovenor House - Coconut Grove - 09/04/07 05:52 AM
Case study: Grovenor House - Coconut Grove
The Grovenor House is one of my all time favorite condominiums.  If this building was located on the ocean, I would rate it #1 in Miami.  From its stunning lobby and common areas, to the brilliant floor plans and overall architecture, the Grovenor House is in a league of its own.  A testament to its quality is illustrated by the recent sales history (2007).  The Grovenor has more closed sales (as a % of total units in the building) than any other Miami Luxury Condominium.  In the midst of a  supposedly "bad market", buyers are … (5 comments)

Miami Real Estate - Case Study: Ocean Palms - Hollywood Beach - 09/01/07 07:35 AM
What is a condo worth?  A condo is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay.  This logic although sound, is not always the case.
Case study: Ocean Palms - Hollywood Beach
Working with a recently retired CEO, I was set out on the hunt for a 3,000 sq ft or larger luxury condo directly on the ocean.  I call this task a hunt because of his criteria; $1.2M or less, 7 years or newer, 3,000 sq ft.  Where some would have been discouraged and thought this to be an impossible mission, I rose to the occasion and accepted the challenge.

Miami Buyer's Market - 09/01/07 07:25 AM
First off, let me say that I don't have a crystal ball. No one does.  What I do have are two eyes and ears out on the streets of Miami and Miami Beach.  I consider myself a true barometer of the Miami Luxury Condo Market.
I receive calls practically on a daily basis from both sellers and buyers.  The sellers, especially the pre-construction investors, are eager to listen to a Realtor that will give them a glint of hope of brighter days on the near horizon.   Some are wishful, others have given up hope, while others are outright unrealistic holding tight to … (0 comments)
