Kapit Sells Crown Jewel in Parkland Golf & Country Club
Just In Time For The Holidays!
It was only a matter of time before a Buyer might recognize just how spectacular “Villa Positano” was.

Everything about the home was carefully thought out and ultimately, it attracted the likes of Read the rest of this entry »

Gone Fishing! (for luxury buyers)
Life of A Realtor In 2011
Is it enough to simply list properties for sale on the MLS and hope they sell? If that’s a strategy, pack up and go home now. Selling luxury real estate requires 3 things:
Smarts, Aggressive Marketing and Networking
Smarts is self explanatory. If you have a luxury property to sell, hire an agent that actually knows something. Hiring a friend or doing someone a favor is almost sure disaster and usually adds to the tension. For a short bio on yours truly, click here.
Aggressive Marketing
The Internet is the starting point for ALL real estate searches. It’s the most navigable, complete list of “what’s out there” and you don’t have to talk to a soul until YOU ARE READY. My marketing is ONLINE, GLOBAL and quite honestly, cutting edge. Simply put, you don’t post record sales without it. Luxury buyers come from all over the world. Trust me when I tell you that they didn’t find my listing from scouring through the local MLS. I work closely with Christie’s International and Mayfair to insure that my properties get the proper exposure, that is, making sure that my homes are “front and center” for those with the means to buy.
Networking
Consistent working within your local network is never enough. There is something to be said for “getting out of your comfort zone” and increasing the strength of your professional network. It is that sphere of influence which successfully transacts high-end business. The Northeast has always made for a steady stream of wealthy investors looking for spectacular properties in South Florida. Heading to East Hampton, NY for Memorial Day Weekend will be a much needed break but also comes with a tremendous opportunity to create new and lasting business relationships that can prove very fruitful for years to come. Nothing replaces personal contact. Emails will never fully convey the story. And while a phone call might be a bit more personal than an email, being out there and meeting new people, creating workable synergies, is ALWAYS best.
I wish everyone a very happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend.

Daily Business Review Profiles Jason Kapit’s Latest Sale
$3.4 Million Dollar Sale Garners Interest From DBR
Maybe 2011 has something a bit better to offer the real estate world. The last five years have been painful, but if the latest sales and activity are any indication, things are looking up.
In talking with local attorneys and the press Kapit commented, “The bottom line is this: Home values are dismally low, there is plenty of cash on the sidelines – when you get in a situation where the banks are offering virtually nothing on your money and you consider where the stock market has risen to (a bit toppy for sure), there aren’t a whole lot of places to put money to work. This leaves real estate acquisitions as a very viable part of the investment portfolio. And for a lot of people, the time to dip your toes into the water is now.”
If you own a luxury property that you may consider offering for sale, call (954.650.4443) or email me. Listing a million dollar+ property is not something you should do on a whim. Chances of it selling to your neighbor are slim at best. Sure, there are locals who will show interest but the name of this game is “reach”, that is, how far and to how many QUALIFIED buyers can we showcase your property? Available anytime to talk.

Federal Reserve Debates the CAUSE
As we close out 2010, the debate over whether there was a housing bubble has long been answered with a resounding YES!
