Hurricane Dorian created quite a bit of angst for buyers and sellers of real estate. Several days before the Cat 5 storm was predicted to move westward, towards Miami, I received calls from clients with concerns about placing offers, postponing closing dates and possible force majeure.

Townhomes are the hottest properties in Coconut Grove. I just listed a walker’s dream on spectacular Gifford Lane, just a short walk to the center of town. No need to drive around looking for parking when shopping, dining, tennis, parks and recreation can be reached on foot.

Check out the two events hosted by The Barnacle Society this Friday and Saturday. Regatta Moonlight Concert: Ethan Parker Band Description: Enjoy […]

I attended a Nadia Beugre dance performance this past weekend on Stage Black Box at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium. Nadia, choreographer and dancer, performed Quartiers Libres, a French expression meaning “free territory” or “limitless space”. It was strange and unfamiliar, confusing and angry and expressive, wild and intense. Everything about the performance screamed freedom from oppression, from the tangled microphone cable strangling […]
