Another Miami Short Sale SOLD this week by the ShowcaseMiami Team…
Last week, our ShowcaseMiami Team closed another short sale for a Miami Seller who owed more than the property was worth. ShowcaseMiami's Omar Roa and Alina Choy were tenacious and persistent in getting this complicated short sale closed. The fact is that only 7% of the closed sales in Dade County are short sales.

A Tale of 2 real estate markets…(Miami vs. Vancouver)
Vancouver, British Columbia My recent trip to Vancouver... A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting some family members in Vancouver, Canada. As is usually the case when I travel, I was interested in seeing what the local residential real estate market was doing.
