Home Owners
Why Are Homeowners Rates Going Up?
When you receive your renewal offer, most of you will probably notice a 10-35%+ rate increase.
Lets review the reasons why:
REINSURANCE rates that are charged to insurance companies by worldwide insurance underwriters such as Lloyds of London, Swiss Re have gone up significantly. Reinsurance is an insurance policy that our Florida carriers take out on themselves to give them protection in the event of a catastrophe. Even though we have experienced no major storms in 5 years, catastrophes have occurred all over the world (ex Northeast storms, Missouri Tornados, Worldwide Earthquakes) which require massive Read the rest of this entry »

The Edge With Mayfair International
International Exposure Is Key
When selling ultra-luxury homes, the key is REACH. Marketing to local buyers is just a small part of complete marketing. The local buyer represents an extremely small percentage of Qualified Buyers. Think of all the real Buyers “out there” that may want to buy your home! Do you think publishing your home in a local newspaper or magazine will get their attention? Of course not. Luxury homes are investment-class, hard assets. They are in demand, especially as an inflation hedge or currency play. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to sell your home.
Mayfair International is just one of my tools for global reach. I have many powerful tools that are extremely helpful when showcasing luxury properties to the world. South Florida homes attract a worldwide audience. Make sure your home gets the attention it deserves!

Judge Bailey Lays Down The Gavel
Sending A Message
Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Bailey sent a message to every lender who presupposes that simply being owed money by a borrower is enough to circumvent laws, orders or anything else that under any other circumstances would simply not be tolerated in a court of law.
Eslava vs. HSBC
The substance of the case was this: A borrower was looking to his lender for a loan modification to make payments more affordable. Essentially unable to come to terms, the lender’s motion to foreclose was granted … but, HSBC (the lender) lost the note.
