Every year, the Village of Miami Shores sponsors a Halloween event that brings in people from everywhere around Miami.  Our main street in downtown Miami Shores is blocked off (NE 2nd Avenue) from 95th street to 103rd street and the local community sets up booths and sponsors rides for kids in the area.  There are some carnival rides, jump houses and obstacle courses as well as a center stage where a Halloween Costume Contest takes place.  Over 2,000 people visit this event held between 5:00 and 8:00 PM on October 31 every year, and it’s a great place to see our community in action, working together and enjoying themselves.            This year, Coldwell Banker’s theme was Ghostbusters and we wore t-shirts that read “Who are you gonna call??---Coldwell Banker!” The giveaways included fa... 11/01/2006

One of the local schools, Miami Country Day, in Miami Shores, invited our office today to a breakfast to learn about the school and to tour their facilities.  What an amazing idea!  They are Crystal Clear about who meets families first and who guides them into the schools.  The school administration had a great presentation for us.  We met the principal and some of the staff and toured the school facility while kids were in class. Their whole objective is for Realtors to be able to talk with authority about the school to their customers as well as for the same Realtors to feel they have good contacts within the school that will take good care of anyone they refer.  We have a good positive experience to associate to the school - BRILLIANT marketing!! 10/13/2006

This is a quick article I wrote for our blog at http://miamishoresrealestate.blogspot.com/We felt the need to clear up a common misinterpretation for everyone who follows Real Estate trends. We are being bombarded by the Media on a daily basis that home sales are dropping. What does this really mean???This doesn't really mean that prices are dropping. What it means is that less homes are selling. There is so much inventory (so many homes for sale), that buyers have a lot more to choose from and leverage to negotiate, but at the same time, there are fewer buyers.More inventory, and fewer buyers means less sales. This means that when selling your home, you NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You will need an agent, or a team of agents that market more aggressively, that have strong selling and nego... 09/10/2006
