I Will Survive: Bald, Brave, and Beautiful

I had a wonderful opportunity recently to participate in an event to bring awareness to Miami Children’s Hospital’s “Bald, Brave, Beautiful” project. The goal of this project is to raise funds to help find a cure and provide hope to children with cancer. Grammy Award-winning artist, Gloria Gaynor, rewrote the words to her iconic song I Will Survive in support of this wonderful project. Gloria Gaynor even traveled to Miami Children’s Hospital in September to record the revised song, and film the music video. The participants in the music video include current or past patients, their families, and Miami Children’s Hospital employees. Please feel free to share the video, and spread the word that “kids and chemo should not go […]

South Florida Market is Heating Up!

“Return of the bidding war for South Florida Homes” and “Miami Herald Goes House Hunting”. These are two articles that have been printed by the Miami Herald in the past two weeks about the market in South Florida. A few things that are similar about these articles: Both mention how the market in South Florida is bouncing back (and rather quickly), and interestingly enough, they both quote members of EWM as experts in the business. No surprise they went to EWM associates for their expertise. “Return of the bidding war for South Florida Homes”, written by Martha Brannigan, discusses the inventory of active listings in South Florida is low, and that if properties are priced right, they sell quickly.  “Say […]
