Prices will continue their upward trend, and we will continue to have a strong seller’s market, even when we expect to see a rise in interest rates.

What industry trends do you predict for 2022?

I think we will see a continuation of 2021’s trends, essentially young families moving into South Florida from out of state and abroad, looking for better quality of life, less dense neighborhoods, warmer weather and tax advantages. The demand for properties that allow families to comfortably work from home (extra rooms, reliable and fast internet) and enjoy a great outdoor space will also continue. More sellers will list their homes than in 2021, but those homes will be absorbed fast. Prices will continue their upward trend, and we will continue to have a strong seller’s market, even when we expect to see a rise in interest rates.

How would you describe your business?

We roll out the red carpet for every client and provide exceptional service — and results. We work with all sorts of clients: sellers, buyers, investors and builders, but most of our transactions involve the selling of single-family homes.

What are the hottest neighborhoods to invest in right now?

Pinecrest is hotter than hot, and it’s always a fantastic investment. All neighborhoods that surround Pinecrest and Coral Gables are also great options for long-term investments at lower price points. For income-generating properties, we are looking at Orlando and Central Florida, areas we serve for second homes and investments. There you can capitalize on newer construction, good return on investment and a strong rental market.

Advantages to the current real estate market:

Properties with some less-than-desirable features, if well priced, will still sell fast.

Three words to describe the current market:

Upward, fast-paced, exciting.

Motto you live by:

Surround yourself with great people, and you will be great.
