SOLD – 13850 Stirling Road, Southwest Ranches FL 33330
Jason A. Kapit, Esq. sells 10-acre estate for $2,150,000
Every once in a while a property comes along that is the right mix of history, location, prestige and nostalgia. 13850 Stirling Road, located in the heart of Southwest Ranches’ Sunshine Ranches is just such a place. And I had the privilege of listing, marketing and selling it to its new proud owners. The property, owned by one family since the mid-1960s was meticulously cared for and always a pristine setting for the horses and other animals that called it home. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

Momentum at the High-End
Marketing Luxury Real Estate
When it comes to residential real estate, all homes are not created equal. Hence, one report cannot classify the sector as a whole. For the last few years, the story had been one of redundancy. The housing market is weak and without a housing market recovery, the overall economy will not improve. And while most economists agree that there is indeed a correlation, the more important question to those in the trenches, is what part of the market is strong and poised for a comeback.

Jason A. Kapit, Esq. to Represent Homes for Sale in East Fort Lauderdale
For the past 10 years, Jason A. Kapit, Esq. has represented luxury homes for sale throughout Broward County. Growing up in Hollywood, FL, attending Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, he is a homegrown local who knows the East side cold. Ironically, Jason has made much of his splash out West recording record sales in Cooper City, Weston, Parkland and Southwest Ranches. After much prodding from friends and clients, he has finally decided to split time between the Weston and Las Olas office to bring his marketing and home selling skills to the much heralded luxury residential enclaves of Las Olas, Seven Isles, Rio Vista and Harbor Beach.
Asked why he decided to branch out East, Kapit stated, “It was a natural progression for me. I like selling multi-million dollar homes. I work for very sophisticated clients who demand smart, sound representation. They understand that my marketing plan (consisting of Online, print media and strategic PR campaigns) works! And I think that sellers are now willing to look beyond using the realtor down the street. At the end of the day, this business is about results. I get results wherever I go and people are finally figuring that out.”

There is A Difference
Jason A. Kapit, Esq. specializes not only in selling luxury homes but insuring they garner a premium price!
“Consistently raising the bar, setting records and keeping neighborhood values high is the goal. Merely listing to sell at any price is not my style. A track record is important and working hard to sustain values no matter how difficult the environment is always a priority.”
Legal Know-How
Asked if being a lawyer helped to cultivate buyer and seller clients, Kapit responded, “It definitely doesn’t hurt. Certainly you don’t need to be a lawyer to be a real estate agent but knowing the law, having been a practicing attorney, gives me an advantage when it comes to contract review and superior negotiation.”
Global Marketing
Print media such as the postcard you see here represents a small portion of the marketing required to attract qualified buyers. “Online is simply where it’s at. The majority of buyers begin their searches online. Without a major presence online at strategic locations, selling a home can be a daunting task. It is foolish and irresponsible to try and source a buyer from a finite number of local prospects. YOU MUST ANNOUNCE THE OFFERING TO THE WORLD!”

Pocket Listings – For Those Who Just Can’t Seem To Find What They’re Looking For
COMING SOON – REOT’S LIST OF OUR EXCLUSIVE POCKET LISTINGS
Explanation Courtesy of Wikipedia – A pocket listing is a real estate industry term used which denotes a property where a broker holds a signed listing agreement (or contract) with the seller, whether that be an “Exclusive Right to Sell” or “Exclusive Agency” agreement or contract, but where it is never advertised nor entered into a multiple listing system (MLS) or where advertising is limited for an agreed-upon period of time.
When a broker is hired to sell a property, a listing agreement is executed in writing. In an “Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement”, the broker normally agrees to cooperate with other brokers and to share a portion of the total real estate commission paid by the seller. However, in this situation, it is stated that the property shall not be placed in an MLS, and thus there is no agreement to work cooperatively with other brokers.
The reasons for a pocket listing vary and some sellers may have their own reasons for not advertising a listing in conventional ways. Regardless of explanation, Jason A. Kapit, Esq. has a short list of some fabulous “under wraps” properties. For more information contact him directly with specific details of what you’re looking for. It might just be available.
Oh, and look out in the next few weeks for our “Pocket Listings” display!

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!
