We met with two families who reside in The United kingdom. They`re on a mission to purchase Ocean Front Condominiums in Hallandale Beach Florida. Several months ago they called me to ask if one of our properties was really priced so low! I`m not kidding..They`re looking at the Florida Real Estate market as a great buying opportunity! Why?

During the process, as I was helping her packing her belongings, I found some pieces of jewelry she had hidden behind her china. She had told me she thought someone had broken into her home and stolen them from her. Well, you would not believe it, but the day she was moving out, the movers found a few more pieces hidden underneath her mattress and they kindly gave them to her. She was dumbfounded.
