Ok, like most of you, we all read the paper this morning and right there on the front page of the local news is “Lebron buys a house in Coconut Grove for $9,000,000. “ Are you kidding me, Coconut Grove! The Grove hasn’t been cool since earth shoes and head shops! Dude, what were you thinking!  Don’t you communicate with Dwayne and Chris? Well, 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!

Onward….this Sunday, December 12 from 2-4, I am holding open a terrific home at 5237 La Gorce Drive. Its a Mediterranean gem with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, pool, hardwood floors throughout, fireplace, impact windows. Stop by and take a look. All it needs is your personal touch! Offered at $869,000.

And hey, the ding dongs messing with the pink snails, stop it! You are suppose to enjoy them, not destroy them. They look great and are very fun and festive, especially this time of year, so quit it!

Happy shopping…see you Sunday!

Lots of interseting things going on in Miam Beach. Please don’t be offended my friends to the north, south, and west, but Miami Beach is the place! Just look at the newspaper over the weekend. First, Jerry Powers, the founder of Ocean Drive magazine  has invested in Plum, a cable TV station and is kicking it up! He is hoping to target a wider audience which includes affluent consumers and keeps Miami Beach and its energy in the spotlight.   

Also, the pink snails are coming! It reminds me  of the time the artist Cristo wrapped the islands of Biscayne Bay in pink. Who remembers that or am I dating myself? Of course I was only 10 at the time!!! But this is fun and its also meant to send a message regarding enviornmental consciousness. This week, these pink plastic snails will pop up all over Miami Beach.  The snails are meant to send us a message to ”slow” down, stop running, and stop destroying our beautiful planet. Sounds good to me.

And last but not least, our newest listing at 3001 Pinetree Dr. is a magnificent home by famed architect L. Murray Dixon. This  was a ground up restoration and addition that was lovingly restored over 2 years. It has over 5,000 sq. ft., 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, gourmet kitchen, beautiful pool and private garden. Asking $2,200,000. Call anytime!

Here I was showing property in mid Beach to a wonderful couple and my cell phone rings. Usually I hate to answer the phone when I’m with other people because I like to give my buyers and sellers full attention.  This was my time for them! Since it was their second time in the house and they were off rearranging the kitchen, I decided to pick up. Well, guess who it was? Thats right the King himself, LeBron James asking me, Cyndi Henriksen if I had time to show him a few places. All of a sudden, my buyers called my name and ruined one of the the best day dreams I ever had!!! So if you’re out there LeBron and you’re looking, I’m right here but you’ll have to wait until I’m finished with this couple!!

Hi there!  Lets start off with some good news…… the good news is Alex Rodriguez (a.k.a. A -Rod) just purchased waterfront lots on North Bay Road on Miami Beach for over 7 million dollars. The bad news is, he did not buy them from me!! But in general, mid Beach single family homes have been active.  In the last 3 months there has been 29 closed sales and 28 properties are currently pending. Keep in mind, this is only mid Beach.

Please take a moment and watch this video. It will really shed some light on the short sale saga and it is short and very informative. Watch and let me know what you think………

Loan Mods not working?? I may have the answer!
