The Story: “My buyer, who only wanted trophy properties, decided she wanted to buy up an entire cul-de-sac street in one of the most prestigious, expensive, private gated communities on the bay in Miami, with its own private beach, ‘Tahiti Beach’. Of course, none were on the market for sale. We used the checkbook to make them available. We had bought two of the five properties, and had an option on a third, before the market crashed after 9/11. All the sales and options were record-breaking prices - then I had to resell quickly, which I did, and made my client client very happy.”
