Who said living in Coral Gables isn’t affordable?
We have a great home that was just listed for sale that will be the perfect match for someone looking for an adorable home in a great location:
1429 Messina Avenue
Featuring 2 bedrooms/2 baths. It has a comfortable living area with beautiful, and original, warm wood floors. The kitchen is spacious and has been remodeled with tiled backsplash and countertops along with newer appliances. In addition, there is a Florida room for more space to turn into an office or if you have kids, a playroom, or simply if you need more living space or an area for entertainment. The master bedroom has two large closets. You can also enjoy time out in the private backyard, complete with Chicago brick patio area. The backyard is fully fenced and very lush. There is also a one car garage with extra storage space. This home is a short sale, but it should be a relatively smooth process as the seller has elected to choose a title company that will coordinate with the bank and all parties involved. This is a great opportunity, especially for first time buyers or a newly beginning family.

With all of the rumors about short sales being a horrible experience I am happy to say my team has closed two short sales in one week, one of which only took three months from start to finish!
That’s almost unheard of turnaround time.
Most people would like to avoid a short sale if at all possible. I’ve even heard of agents who refuse to show their clients short sale or foreclosure listings because they don’t want to deal with the perceived hassle. But when you have a professional team in place, including experienced realtors and a title company on board from the beginning to facilitate the process, it makes the transaction move much more smoothly.
While it’s true that short sales do require a bit more patience and time they can often be the source of a great purchase, creating fantastic opportunities for buyers.

Living on Miami Beach certainly is a unique lifestyle.
Your main mode of transportation is a bike or your feet. Only blocks from the beach, the fantastic shopping of Lincoln Road and surrounding boutiques. A fabulous array of dining options. What more could you ask for?
I listed a one bedroom apartment, located at 641 Espanola Way Unit #1.
As soon as it went on the market I confirmed numerous showings. Within 7 days I received 4 offers. Whether it’s for an end user or as an investment a little Beach apartment is a great buy because you are not just buying an apartment…you are buying the irreplaceable lifestyle that comes with living in such a unique place.

You’ve heard of living art, but how about living in art?
This one of a kind, architectural masterpiece is located in the Killian area at 9720 SW 114 Street. It’s 4,387 square feet of detail, sliding glass doors and walls creating a bright and spacious atmosphere. 5 bedrooms and 3 baths.
Enter through a dramatic atrium, soaring ceilings with views of the contemporary staircase. The remodeled kitchen opens up to a large, open living space with vaulted ceilings. An additional, beautiful two story living area overlooks the pool and vibrant tropical canopy. There are two master suites, one downstairs, with a very unique “atrium bath” with glass enclosed shower and skylight. Warm wood floors throughout.
This is a home that will inspire.
The eventual buyers will feel like they’ve purchased not just a home, but a piece of art.

So you want to buy a home in Palmetto Bay…
I just listed a house this week at 14500 SW 84 Court in Palmetto Bay and within the first few hours of it going live on the market we had two showings set up for that same day.
It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plenty of living space including formal living/dining rooms. A large kitchen with tons of counterspace and an island with sink. Good sized bedrooms. Screened, partially covered patio and pool. Big yard with fruit trees. A garage with enclosed utility/laundry area. Great location. This house is just simply “comfortable,” a perfect family home.
It appears that we are starting to notice a decrease in the inventory in this neighborhood and others nearby, meaning fewer homes to choose from. Buyers are anxious to see a home as soon as it goes on the market so that they can be first in line should it be a home they are interested in pursuing.
Call or email me today to learn more about this property or other listings I have in Palmetto Bay.
