The former Versace mansion in Miami Beach went up for sale this summer. Many blogs have featured the estate (now a boutique hotel) as the most expensive residence in the United States, tied only with a Los Angeles property listed at $125 million. Wowza! That’s a huge price tag. We have nothing that expensive in Coral Gables or Coconut Grove but we do have some luxury estates for sale that have a hefty price tag as well. What do the most...Continue Reading!

People often ask me how I spot “the perfect home.” Perfect is subjective, of course, but I can tell you what helps is when the builder of a home resides in it. Such is the case with my 5 bedroom, 6 bath listing in one of Miami’s best neighborhoods, Ponce/Davis. This stately jewel’s attention to detail is extraordinary – you can tell the builder designed it for himself! The interior rooms are beautifully proportioned with fine moldings, custom...Continue Reading!

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the luxury home market which is typically defined by million+ price point. But in my experience, price does not always translate into “luxury”.
