Real Estate News and Events

Checking the numbers of the last quarter, the inventory is limited specially in Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay, the active properties (for sale) have decreased.
We are now in a Seller’s Market, so if you are planning to sell your property this is the perfect time, please feel free to contact me at 305-905-3370 for a FREE comparative market analysis, I am here to assist you with your real estate needs.

I love Good News and I like to share them. There is federal government help, HHF Program Financial Assistance for qualified homeowners, who are unemployed and struggling with the mortgage payments, these funds are paid directly to the loan servicer/ lender.
To check if you qualify, log onto the website https://www.flhardesthithelp.org/. or you can contact an HHF advisor 1-888-269-2040.
