Are you thinking about selling your home in 2024?

My listing tours get as many as 50,000 views. For perspective, the entire population of North Bay Village is 8,000 people. So how do I do it?

Well, I can’t give away trade secrets. But, I can tell you that I have an exclusive marketing program here in the North Bay Village area. I make sure you get the best price for your home by investing more in marketing than most Realtors in the entire United States do.

If you're thinking of selling your home, my cell is (786) 505-2443.

Let's talk.

My client gifted me this a couple years back when he saw me trying to put up yard signs with a normal hammer.

He pulled this out of his garage and said "you're going to get a lot more use out of this than I ever will."

And damn was he right? Because I use this thing all the time and I can put up a for sale sign faster than anyone in town haha

Best gift ever. ⚒️

This is how many times people saw my social media last year. As far as I know, I am the only agent in Miami who does this kind of marketing.

Many of the ads I run on social media aren’t even about me—they promote my listings or help me find homes for my buyers.

The truth is, I get my sellers more exposure on their listings than any other agent and frankly, unless I promoted their house on Interstate I-95, a billboard would not even get that kind of reach around here.

So, I tell you that my ads were seen 2.1 million times last year not to brag, but to be real with you that using an agent with an exclusive marketing strategy will help get more exposure to your property than any other agent in Miami. And it’s important to me that you know that.

One of my all-time favorite movie scenes is from Saving Private Ryan, when Tom Hanks' character asks us to “earn this.”

He was dying, breathing his last breaths, and he wanted to make sure that Americans would live a life worthy of that sacrifice.

That’s always been incredibly inspiring to me. Especially on Memorial Day, it’s important that we remember those who died for our freedom.

Memorial Day isn’t just a generic patriotic holiday, it’s specifically to honor those who gave the “ultimate sacrifice”.... their lives.

We should honor them by remembering that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We can’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for and protected.

Over and over and over again.

And we should enjoy it! As free Americans, we should honor their sacrifice by supporting small businesses, watching a little league baseball game, going camping, taking the boat out, having a campfire, taking a good old fashioned American road trip... the things we couldn’t do if we weren’t free.

It’s been said that a man who doesn’t read is no better off than a man who can’t read. I think it’s just as true that people who don’t enjoy their freedom aren’t any better off than people without freedom!

So remember this Memorial Day to have fun, live free, and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice....remember to earn this.

Hey Miami, I bought this ad space to shout from the rooftops how amazing my mother is this Mother’s Day. She has no clue this post exists…yet.

I work with her every day, and she is the hardest working person and lights up every room she walks in along the way. Her genuine desire to take care of anyone she surrounds herself with is one of the things I love most about her. Not only is she an ambitious worker, but her role as a mother is where she shines even brighter. Family is always our number one over anything else and she has taught me so much about how to find the most joy out of life day in and day out. I love her more than words can say.

If you’ve worked with my mom, or you know her personally, I’d love to fill the comments section with amazing stories about her. Even if you don’t know her, please help me in wishing her a happy Mother’s Day! 😊

Do these look like photos taken by a professional photographer? 📷 Of course not! Yet, some agents are still using photos like these to sell a home.

With over 90% of people starting their home search online these days, the photos and videos that are used to market your home are IMPORTANT.

So, if the listing agent you are interviewing offers to have "professional photos" taken of your home, ask them WHO will be taking them. It should be a professional photographer, not someone using an iPhone. 📱

Because when it comes to selling a home, the marketing matters. 🎯

After crunching the numbers and looking at 20+ homes, my clients now own the perfect investment property in South Beach! It's in a PRIME location, just steps from Lincoln Rd, dining, shopping, and the beach - and because it was recently renovated, it includes features like impact windows and central cooling!

Plus, it’s going to net around 7% for them and help build their investment portfolio!

All that to say, congratulations to my clients and I was honored to help you begin your investment journey! I'm excited to see your portfolio continue to grow!

If you were thinking about buying a house in 1972, but decided to wait until interest rates came down...you would have continued renting and waiting for 22 years! 😱

In that time...
😅 A home purchased in 1972 would have quadrupled in value
🫠 A mortgage from 1972 would be 73% paid off
😔 And a 22 year wait only saved 3 quarters of a % in interest!

In 1972 an average rate was 7.54%, and there wasn't a drop until 1993! And even then it was brief and only dropped to 6.74%. Yikes!

What's crazy is that in that 22 year wait, the rates crept up to 16% in the 80s! The average home value in ’72 was $27k, and by ’93 it was $126k.

Anyone is welcome to play the waiting game, but a person who waited in 1972 clearly missed out.

History proves that home values in the long run will continue to increase in value, and history also proves that interest rates should not stop you from becoming a homeowner. Refinancing is an option if interest rates go down. But you can't go back in time and buy a home at a 1972 price.

Caro and I sit on the board for LEGS, a women’s golf organization that stands for “Ladies Executive Golf Society.”

The other week, we hosted a co-ed event at the Trump Doral Golf Course and had an amazing turnout! There were drinks, food, golf coaches, and of course, a lot of professional networking!
Our goal with this society isn’t just to help women feel comfortable on the golf course (although that is a big part of it.) We also want to provide women with connections and resources to help further their careers.

We host monthly events with golf pros and include women of ALL levels, from those who have never held a club before, to someone who has golfed their whole life!

If you’re interested in learning a bit more about our society, please reach out! We’d love to grow this group of “boss babes” and see even more new faces at our next event!

Social media is a powerful thing – if not for it, I probably never would have met Brandon and Janine!

A while back, they found me on Instagram. And when their stars aligned and they were ready, they reached out to me because they needed help selling their Bay Harbor Islands condo. From the beginning, I knew they were going to be awesome clients to work with!

They understood the market, were realistic about the comps in their building, and they knew that pricing it right was super important! Not to mention, they never turned a showing away!

So, from list to close, in just 64 days, we sold their condo.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I have the BEST clients. ❤️

Brandon and Janine, it was my absolute pleasure to work with you both. Thank you for being amazing clients and of course, you know I wish you all the best!
