By now you should have heard that the real estate market in Southeast Florida (think the Greater Miami Real Estate and Fort Lauderdale Real Estate market areas) is starting to move. The banks are beginning to shed their inventory of residential properties to clear out their portfolios, and the buyers are finally able to get financing in one form or another.

I have seen a number of buyers picking up great deals on Miami real estate.  For example, a 2 story home that only 2 years ago sold for $440k just sold for $260k (by the way, the investor who bought the property from the bank for $205k made a handsome profit).

So the State of Florida has finally issued our corporate real estate license, and I am now officially a real estate broker (don't need to say "associate" any longer).  The funny thing is that this seems like the end of a long road leading up to this point, but in actuality, this is just the beginning.
