We have become spoiled in Miami because we are used to a lot of cash buyers. However over the years, Ognjen and I have successfully worked with many different types of buyers and loan products. Today’s market is changing, and there are more financing products out there for buyers with low money down.There are a lot of nuances in our market when it comes to financing, and there are differences with a condominium purchase and a single family home purchase.  It’s important that you have skilled professionals working with you who can best determine (when possible) if a property is likely to qualify for financing with low money down.You must have an experienced team working for you so you don’t want time accepting offers that do not qualify.Key Takeaways There is a difference between financi...

Cual es el Valor de una Propiedad Comercial? Normas Internacionales de Valoración define el valor de mercado como "el valor estimado al que una propiedad debe cambiar en la fecha de valoración entre un comprador y un vendedor en una transacción de libre competencia después de una comercialización adecuada en la que las partes actuarían con conocimiento, prudencia, y sin coacción ".El valor de mercado es un concepto distinto del precio de mercado, que es "el precio al que se pueden realizar transacciones", mientras que el valor de mercado es "el verdadero valor subyacente", de acuerdo a las normas teóricas. El concepto se invoca con más frecuencia en los mercados ineficientes o situaciones de desequilibrio donde los precios vigentes en el mercado no son el reflejo de cierto valor en el m...

Miami International Airport (MIA) achieved another historic milestone, after adding 44.3 million passengers in 2015. The official report of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department announced a substantial increase of 8.3 percent over the previous period. All backed by the freight service that equaled the record of 2.17 million tonnes in 2014. This record confirms the position of the airport in Miami among the top 10 in the country and would place it among the 20 busiest in the world when the international association of airports will soon present its annual report. According to the report, MIA recorded a 11 percent increase in passengers on domestic flights, to reach a total of 23.1 million passengers and 5.5 percent on international routes, to add 21.2 million. "Despite the economic slowdown...

This penthouse at the Marina Blue condominium has just hit the market. If 20 foot high ceilings with walls of glass overlooking the bay all the way to Miami Beach does not knock your socks off maybe the $5.5 million price tag will.At 4,800+/- square feet there is plenty of space to entertain at home. The Miami Heats home is directly across the street and their center guard will be your neighbor.Great space, great location, great views just freshen it up and make it yours!

Here is a rendering of the new stadium project to house the team Miami United owned by a group lead by David Beckham. It's a done deal  Miami United group have closed on the 6 acre parcel. Construction will be very soon to commence as they already have a playing schedule.   This blighted area just a few blocks north of downtown will soon be transformed into another Miami Hot Spot!This location  has a metrorail station and will sure bring in the international soccer fans!Who knows it may even make a fan out of me!

When they were building this property, I was very excited to see how the market would respond to it. It brings a splash of modern luxury to the island of Key Biscayne in a way that some of the older buildings on the island don’t. Now that 101 Key Biscayne has finished construction, it is one of the newest buildings in South Florida, and it’s already one of the more popular condos in Key Biscayne. Just a few days ago, unit 302 has gone up for sale, and I’m excited to talk about it today. This condominium is perfect for all kinds of people. From young families to retirees to overseas investors, 101 Key Biscayne presents an attractive alternative to some of the more boisterous neighborhoods of the region. With great schools, beautiful beaches and a small-town feel, Key Biscayne can feel li...

The Lighthouse Tower is planned to reach 817 feet high with an actual lighthouse beacon on top. All in there will be 70 stories of condominium units (384), parking for 516 cars, a spa and pool deck on the 55th floor.The building directly on the mouth of the Miami river will also be "sail" like in design which in my opinion fits perfect. Stay tuned for more details.

The Babylon Apartments were the first building built by famed Architeconica. The problem is the owner wants to tear down the 5 story structure and build a 48 story condo in its place.  That would require re-zoning and the neighbors are not happy!The Babylon has been down this road before but the owner has now left it in a state of disrepair and states it needs to be demolished. Oh the politics...stay tuned. Let's hope the Miami Vice Era building will be made a permanent resident of Bayshore Drive.

The Carpet Creations building in Miami’s Design District has sold for $21.5 million. A 8,800 SF, two story building, built in 1954 and renovated in 2014, sits on a 5,000 SF lot.The Sellers are Elizabeth and Neil Rosen, who owned and operated the carpet store for more than 40 years. The buyer is Harbor Group International, which has a large Real Estate owned portfolio with several properties in Florida.If you do the math, the price comes to $2,443 per square feet, taking at conservative CAP of 6 % and considering ideal situation (100% occupied), the NNN rent should be $147.00 per square feet per year and the operating expenses should be around $49 in taxes plus insurance and maintenance.The rent to the tenant should be in the neighborhood of $202.00 per square feet, this is for a 1,000 S...

This is probably one of my favorite spots in all of Miami. Once the winter home of James Deering (John Doe fortune). It was built between the years 1914-16 at a staggering cost of $66 million. It covered 180 acres and was directly on the pristine shores of Biscayne bay.The 70 room Italianate Villa contains original furnishings, artwork, sculpture and tapestries from the period and back as Mr. Deering bought out palaces in Europe to fill his home.Over 1000 local people worked on the estate at the time tending to the gardens and the actual farm on the property.It truly does not get much grander than this.

It’s finally time to close on your property, and you are ready to move on, the next step is the walk through and then the closing table! But wait, the walk through? What exactly does that mean, can it hold up closing, can it create last minute delays? Yes, yes and yes!It’s imperative to read over your sales contract and talk to your agent about buyer expectations for the final walk through. Every contract is different, so you need to understand how you are obligated to turn over the property. This way, there won’t be issues left behind that can create closing delays or reasons for the buyer to hold back monies at closing.The walk through’s expectations will be set by the buyer and their agent. But ultimately the sales contract dictates what’s what. The buyer if they have never attended ...

 A district-issued bid for 4001 NE Second Ave. and did not get any interest in the first week out. The bid is still under a “cone of silence” — basically a government gag order meant to keep the selection process fair. The district will to “ask around” after the cone is lifted to figure out what kept people from expressing interest. Listing commercial property for development must be performed by specialist in the field, to max out the value of the property base on the options of future developments.  Cone of Silence Report The Cone of Silence Report lists all of the contracts affected by the County's Cone of Silence ordinance and show the dates during which the Cone of Silence is to be in effect. It is the policy of Miami-Dade County that a “Cone of Silence” be established on all Count...

When selling your Miami property, how do we make sure that you get the most money?We recently sold a property that went under contract in about 30 days and sold two weeks later. The seller didn’t take a lowball offer, in fact, I am confident that we got top dollar in today’s market.So, how did we sell it so quickly?First, it takes two. The agents. As the agents it’s important that we start by providing useful market data and advice to list the home correctly with the right price from the beginning and adjust to the buyer response (or lack of) and the market very quickly. The seller. It’s important to understand the market and be willing to take tips and adjust as needed. This seller trusted our advice from the beginning.

Now the Barnacle Historic State Park, the 1891-built house is one of the oldest houses in Miami-Dade County. It was the home of one of Coconut Grove's founders, Commodore Ralph Middleton Munroe, who purchased the 40-acre bayfront property in 1886 for $400!This home besides sitting on a coral bluff has amazing vistas of Biscayne Bay. It also was constructed with native woods and wood reclaimed from ship wrecks.Open to the public on Main Hwy in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.
