This week is Welcome Home Week, a statewide celebration of the benefits for home owning in Florida. The Sunshine state is attracting more buyers now than ever and it’s not just for our beaches, boating, and culture. Both foreigners and locals know it’s a great time to buy in South Florida with historically low prices and aggressive interest rates. This week you can expect to see lots of open houses, especially today and all throughout the weekend. Take a drive through your favorite neighborhoods and take a peek in some of these homes. Maybe you will find that right home at the right price you never dreamed you could own. Wednesday Open Houses- 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. We will be kicking off this TODAY with 2 open houses for 2 of our listings which we consider to be GREAT family homes in […]

This year I’m looking forward to attending the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Holiday Party. It’s a great event, open to both members of the Chamber and the community. It will be held Thursday, December 2nd at 5:30PM in the Biltmore Hotel, Country Club Ballroom. Over 25 local vendors are already engaged and will be offering food and beverages for guests to enjoy. Plus this is this a great opportunity to network with business professionals in a festive and cheerful environment. Probably the most important component of the party is the philanthropic aspect. Each attendee is asked to bring an unwrapped toy for a child or a gift for an elderly individual. These toys and additional monetary proceeds will go directly to deserving charities in the Miami area. Participating charities […]
