A few months after Stallone's $35.39 million purchase of a waterfront compound in Palm Beach, Florida, his longtime famous mansion was listed. The property itself is one of only a handful of homes offered at more than $100 million in Southern California. 

Originally purchased in the late 1990s for an unrecorded amount, the mansion spans 3.5 acres in North Beverly Park, one of the most exclusive enclaves within L.A. County. The Mediterranean-style property sits on a cul-de-sac at the end of a long private drive covering 21,000 square feet. It includes eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms with views of Rodeo Drive and beyond. 

The main level of Stallone’s incredible pad includes two powder rooms, a formal dining room, a massive kitchen, a breakfast room, and an office. He also ensured to include custom amenities such as a movie theatre, gym, and cigar room with an air-filtration system, an eight-car garage including an art studio, as well as a life-size Rocky Balboa statue that anchors the memorabilia room.  

Containing plenty of room for visitors, Stallone’s property also has a two-story, two-bedroom guesthouse with a kitchen, designed by celebrity architect Richard Landry. Outside offers a patio, infinity pool, and spa. Balconies and terraces overlook the scenic space from above.

The listing for Stallone’s Beverly Park mansion is held by Rick Hilton, Jeff Hyland, Barron N. Hilton, and Tessa Hilton of Hilton & Hyland.

Three panels of experts, brokers and developers from Miami to New York, from the Caribbean to Los Angeles, and up the coast to San Francisco informed and interacted with the audience in the capacity-filled event space.

If you added the total value of the transactions of luxury real estate all of them have been responsible over the course of their careers on a spreadsheet, you would end up seeing multiple billions of dollars as the result.

The Summit started on the evening of this past Tuesday, February 11th with an intimate dinner inside the building's Armani Restaurant, where Italian cuisine was the star of the evening. Just like the panels that would take place the following day, diners experienced a three-course meal that delighted the palate.

The real estate developer panel, titled "Titans of Miami," kicked off the highly anticipated Haute Residence 2020 Luxury Miami Real Estate Summit panels (read full recap here).

The panelists spoke extensively about the past, present and future of development growth in Miami, South Florida, on national, and international levels. Their developments in Miami have generated worldwide headlines and were rightfully highlighted in their answers. As well-known names in the real estate and development community, they were the perfect start to the Summit.

The Miami Power Brokers panel closed the daylong study and dialogue with a talk about the real estate market in Miami and the broader South Florida area that includes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties (read full recap here).

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

Most importantly for the industry insiders, brokers and agents in attendance that filled the event space to capacity, the panelists gave their tips on how to market and engage higher-priced listings and clients that come with it.

Queen of New York real estate Dolly Lenz emphasized how important it is to know and relate to a high net worth client, saying, "Read The Wall Street Journal. Know what's going on in politics; in business; where the pitfalls are, so you can share that with them. I think that's key." Her daughter, Jenny Lenz, joined her mother four years ago at Dolly Lenz Real Estate, learning about the best from the best, and brought that knowledge into the panel.

Cody Vichinsky, Founding Partner at Bespoke Real Estate, focuses his company on $10+ million listings only with an in-house team of agents and staff that tailor their listings' marketing, such as Burnt Point in The Hamptons. "We look at the market very focused in the high luxury market. We have no independent agents, so our model is entirely different from a conventional brokerage business. It's more dynamic."

Olivia Hsu Decker, Co-owner of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, which encompasses over two dozen offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, hit the target as she described the luxury real estate world. "Our business is a people business," she said.

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage, addressed the luxury market in Miami compared to other cosmopolitan cities. "You look at luxury (real estate) in other cities compared to Miami and you find that our price points (in Miami) are pretty attractive".

Michael Goldstein, President of The Trump Group, highlighted the migration to South Florida from the north as he oversees sales of The Estates at Acqualina. " 75% of our business is coming from New York," he said.

Ben Bacal, a leader in the Los Angeles real estate and creator of the Rila app, gave his expertise on the LA market. "Since 2017-2018, properties in Hillcrest have gone down in price to where they need to be. We see an uptick in international buyers. I want to teach my agents to be powerhouses in each of their market and become power agents in those areas. "

One of New York’s most successful brokers of apartments and townhouses, Richard Steinberg held nothing back as he compared and contrasted the buyers and sellers in the lower-priced and higher-priced markets. "Every seller thinks they charge too little. Every buyer thinks they pay too much,” he said. “But they buy it because they want it. My advice to people (brokers) is to go for the big stuff because it's much harder to sell the small stuff," encouraging the live audience and those that watched the live stream on Instagram to reach higher.

Sue Nickason, based in the Cayman Islands and Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Dart Real Estate, had a unique insight on the small island “tax haven”. "Our sweet spot is beach, beach, beach,” she said. “We have a brokerage that did the most sales in the Cayman Islands last year, just shy of $100 million."

On the influence of technology in the luxury real estate market, Dolly Lenz said, "I think it's playing a small role. I find it to be hyped at the moment. In five years, applications will really change how we do business."

Mary Ann Osborn, Leading Broker at Century City, followed on that, "The older people come in through signage on the property and require you to hand-hold them through the process," about the extra personal touch that comes when selling luxury real estate, particularly to people that are not as engaged with technology as younger generations.

A long round of applause was given to the panelists at the end, many who had traveled from far to participate in the Summit.

The three-course dinner of fine Italian cuisine included an antipasto option of Polpette (beef, pork and veal meatballs), a Caprese Salad, and Insalata di Cesare. The secondi included a selection of Bronzino (broiled Mediterranean sea bass), Parmigiano di Pollo Arrosto (roasted herb chicken breast), Bistecca (dry-aged filet mignon), and Tortellini Bolognese (classic red wine meat sauce). To end on a sweet note, the dolci offered tiramisu, alfajores (shortbread cookies), and a Lemon Sorbetto (amaretti cookie).

Having played an integral role in the sellout of Trump Towers, in 2013 Dezer Development named Tettamanti Senior Vice President of Development and Sales for the company. As Senior Vice President, he currently oversees a sales portfolio totaling over $2 billion and manages the in-house sales team. Tettamanti handles the sales and marketing for the recently completed Porsche Design Tower Miami, the luxury brand’s first venture into residential real estate.

Along with the extraordinary sales success of Porsche Design Tower Miami, Tettamanti is engaged with the sales and marketing of Residences by Armani/Casa, global fashion icon Giorgio Armani’s first residential real estate project in the U.S. The 56-story, oceanfront condominium project in Sunny Isles Beach is a partnership between Dezer Development and The Related Group.

Tettamanti additionally serves as the broker for Dezer Platinum Realty, a boutique real estate brokerage firm in Sunny Isles Beach with over 100 agents specializing in exclusive luxury condominium and single-family home sales throughout South Florida. With an impressive track record, Dezer Platinum Realty has closed $56 million in general real estate division sales for the first quarter of 2018 and has been responsible for the two most expensive penthouse sales to-date in Sunny Isles Beach.

He studied at the University of Florida where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in marketing and economics and met his wife Maria Tettamanti, also known as The Wordy Girl--arguably one of Miami’s most renowned bloggers. Originally from Argentina, Tettamanti now resides in Miami, Florida with his wife and two children.
