Kalena Phung — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 18:04:08 +0000

Haute Residence continued its "Chat with Haute Residence Leaders" series with a conversation featuring Anna Sherrill of ONE Sotheby's International Realty team. Sherrill is the exclusive agent representing the South of Fifth, Miami, Florida real estate market as a member of the Haute Residence Real Estate Network.

Anna Sherrill was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Sherrill’s illustrious career joining the highly esteemed ONE Sotheby's International Realty team, her remarkable accolades as a multi-million-dollar producer, and her ascendancy in the South of Fifth luxury real estate market.

Since receiving her real estate license in 2000 and joining ONE Sotheby's International Realty in 2010, Anna Sherrill has made a name for herself, ranking both locally and internationally across boards in the Miami real estate industry. She negotiated record-breaking deals as the sales director for several luxury Miami condo developments and contributed wholeheartedly to Sotheby’s International Realty’s unprecedented growth in Florida. Anna ranked #4 amongst all individual agents in Miami on REAL Trends for 2019 sales volume, and #15 amongst Sotheby's International Realty agents nationwide. Her experience and expertise were recognized as part of ONE SIR’s Top Producing circle for 3 consecutive years from 2017, 2018, and 2019. Being a multi-million-dollar producer, Anna Sherrill has generated over $110 Million in real estate sales in 2019. Most recently, Anna has been recognized by the 2020 Real Trends & Wall Street Journal The Thousand Rankings as the #5 agent in Miami, and the #84 in the entire country.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Sherrill.

Seth Semilof: After school, what did you end up doing?

Anna Sherrill: I had some interesting sales jobs. I worked for a company that a friend of my mom owns which booked athletic teams in hotels all over the nation. I did that during college and a little bit after college. I also worked for a headhunting company which was really popular at that time, but as soon as I moved to Miami in 1999, I got my license in 2000 very shortly after. The company that had sold us our place, Suncoast Properties, was a little office in Brickell Key. The owner offered me a job and asked if I wanted to get into real estate. I got my license and started right away.

SS: In 2000, we were in a recession, so you got in at the worst time in the market, correct?

AS: It was a tough time. I was recruited shortly after by a development company called ISG, International Sales Group. They did marketing and sales for a lot of developers. They still do incredibly well. I went and worked with them right away, which was great. I got into self-developments and that is a great way to start your career. We traveled all across South America and Central America. We would go with an immigration attorney as well. We would meet with different brokers in those cities. They would put people in a room, and we would be able to present our developments. It is a great way to start because you can actually get paid. You are building a business when you are first starting and it is truly your own business. Starting with a developer, they pay for marketing and a lot of the things you maybe cannot afford as a new agent. That really helped me build my business, learn the market, and meet a lot of agents.

SS: Everyone wants to do the luxury properties and you make it seem easy. Tell us some of the learning experiences that led you up to that point.

AS: It is never easy. It is a learning curve of learning to listen to people to try to be an expert in the market. Knowledge is everything in this market and in every market. It is really about educating yourself but also listening to your client and doing what they want you to do. 90% of my business is referral business; it is repeat clients, friends, family, or brokers that refer me business. I know that every client is special and there to teach me as well because a lot of these people are incredibly smart, really savvy, know the market well, know what they want, and know the business well. You can learn a lot from your clients as well.

SS: Can you tell us about being involved in One Thousand Museum and some of the success stories you have had?

AS: People want to understand why we are the most expensive. Obviously, it is the best building in my opinion. It is an iconic building and what they have done here is incredible. Especially during COVID, the price tag here is the highest price tag, not only price per foot but total price. People are not used to paying this price tag in this area, so it really is about educating the buyers, getting the right people through the door, and building that trust. In the beginning, we had a couple of months where nothing was really happening, and it was scary. We did virtual open houses and instead of ten people showing up, we had two hundred and something people watching. We got great exposure, even though at the beginning, it was a little tough. It is all about pivoting, using your resources, knowing the agents selling in your area, following up with them, and knowing your product really well.

SS: What advice would you give to somebody that is in your shoes who might have moved to Miami or L.A., a city without real relationships, which is the majority of realtors?

AS: To start out, if you can, join a team or have a mentor. It is super important because you want to learn from the best of the best. If you want to enter a market and work for people, even if you take on a rental business for a big team, you will learn from that team. I also think if you can, get into development. Even as a junior associate, you learn so much in sales. That can also be people’s career. I am blessed to be in both, but some people are just in development sales, and they do incredibly well in that. If you are inspired by that or the other, whichever one you get into is great.

The six-time all-star basketball player sold the 8,600+ sq. ft. home in the suburban community of the Miami metropolitan area that has seen increased demand as of late for its large estates and ample space.

The single-story, 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home has a gated driveway, leading to a nine-car garage and porte-cochere entrance. Additional rooms include a gym, massage room, home office, plus a formal foyer. For entertainment, it features a movie theater, wet bar, and a large back patio. The property is 2.35 acres in total, with additions including a swimming pool, spa, and guesthouse.

It was a family affair for Ross, as his sister Tawanda Roberts represented him in the deal. Kim Knausz of ONE Sotheby's International Realty represented Stoudamire.

Watch: South Florida Real Estate Webinar, With ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

Andres E. Caceres — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 15:15:21 +0000

Daniel de la Vega, Paola Marulanda, and Anna Sherrill of ONE Sotheby's International Realty joined Haute Residence for a special panel to look back on the past 12 months of activity in the South Florida real estate market and going forward.

They were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. Watch the webinar below.

De la Vega is President of ONE Sotheby's where, among other projects, he and his team have led the way in sales as the exclusive broker of the ultra-luxury development One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects in Downtown Miami. Sherrill sold a unit at One Thousand Museum to start 2021 with a bang; she has sold multiple apartments in the building. Marulanda recently closed her sale of the $15 million Beach House in the South of Fifth area of Miami Beach.

This webinar marks the first anniversary since Haute Residence began its exclusive and industry-leading webinars on the latest in real estate, featuring top agents from around the world, developers, and interior designers. De la Vega was the first featured guest in Haute Residence's webinars, which took place as the lockdown measures were being implemented throughout the U.S. and worldwide.

Highlight quotes:

Daniel de la Vega: "[At this point last year,] I don't think anybody had real estate on their mind. Their family and their friends and their well-being were really everybody's priorities. Overall, personally and professionally, gratefulness is a word that continues to come to mind for me.

"We prepared for the worst, but we had an incredible year. We all believed that Florida and South Florida were always undervalued, but we did not think people would come here in the way they're coming. This is the Great Migration from the Northeast, just within the last year. We projected to finish the year down almost 70%; that's where we were budgeting. We took our budgets from 2019 to 2020 and completely scraped them and said, 'All right, these are the new budgets and we're going to be down 70%.' We actually ended up finishing the year in 2020 up 30%, and that was with an abysmal March, April, and May. Things started to pick up at the end of May and June. Everybody came together, all of our incredible agents, in a way that not many companies did it. It's a testament to our entire leadership team and to the grit that everybody has in this company. We've got some even more incredible announcements and things that we're going to be doing here in 2021, so it's been far beyond all of our wildest dreams... Understanding the client is so important. As agents, we start to sell, but it's the opposite. You want to engage with clients at an early stage by asking and listening.

"One Thousand Museum is more than just the crown jewel of Downtown Miami; it's the crown jewel of Miami. We did over $100 million last year, and on pace to do over $50 million right now. We're negotiating two major major deals. At the end of the day, it boils down to the product. Our sales team is, bar none, one of the best in the industry, but the product that the developers built is the best product that's out in the market. When you look at the finishes and when you look at the quality, it's just superior to so much else that's out there. When people walk it they feel it now, they see it, and they smell it. They get emotions that create an attachment that makes them want to buy. The amenities are out of this world, the views are out of this world. So, it's been an incredible experience and it will continue to be throughout the sellout."

Anna Sherrill: "I saw people helping each other with small businesses. Just watching our community become stronger, within Sotheby's, within my family, and within Miami Beach where I live was special for me... Nobody would have imagined right the weird have, during the pandemic, to have such a peak in luxury sales right. It was amazing and the beginning of this year, for me, was even stronger than the entire year of last year. Sellers are definitely still wanting to sell because this market is is a very strong and hot market. If you have the right property in the right location and priced right, there's no reason you won't have sold very quickly. I feel like we still have a huge amount of buyers that want to be here. A lot of people that have rented are looking for their place to call home, so I still have several buyers looking, and quite a few people that will be here in the future, or are here now and ready to buy.

"Supply and demand is the biggest difference [between 2020 and 2021]. The buyers shifted. It used to be just a lot of the Northeast and we used to get more of an international crowd, but in the last year, we have seen people come from Illinois, North and Southern California, and other areas. Our supply has gone down from several months of inventory in houses and condos to a few months. The good stuff is days on the market and gets multiple offers. It's a different market. I have been in real estate for 21 years and have never seen this kind of market. As long as you're communicating, managing people's expectations, and both sides are doing the right thing, you can get deals done and make everybody happy."

Paola Marulanda: "We really need to be there with our hearts for people. We cannot possibly understand what everybody's going through, so we need to listen. And we need to put our hearts first, and that's what allows us to understand how we can serve people who are still emotionally unequipped for such a massive change for all the things that were happening. Empathy was definitely my best friend through this and what allowed me, I think, to succeed a lot and to keep being a source of comfort and help people to make good decisions.

"We are seeing people who are not moving quickly and not accepting what's happening are either losing out or progressively missing opportunities. A lot of sellers are having second thoughts about selling because they think, 'Even if I profit this much, now where do I go?' because the inventory is so competitive. People coming from the outside are used to paying such higher price points. If you're a buyer, read the numbers yourself and see what's happening from any source, not just your realtor. I don't think that this is the bubble that's that you're going to buy and then it's going to depreciate. This is just the beginning of a steady increase in the new era that Miami is experiencing, and now Miami's being discovered in a way that it was never discovered before."

On her sale of the Beach House in South of Fifth, "This buyer was the perfect person to live here and was exactly who we were targeting. He's obviously a very wealthy person. This is not even their primary residence. It's in South a fifth, which is a community that has so much that everybody wants right now, but there's nothing like it that is like a house. Even penthouses are not comparable to this particular property."

One Thousand Museum Secures Inventory Loan Following Record-Breaking Sales

Andres E. Caceres — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:44:30 +0000

The developers of the award-winning One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects secured a $90 million loan from Cirrus Real Estate, refinancing its remaining residences. 1000 Biscayne Tower, LLC, is using the funds to pay off its construction lender and is moving onto the next phase of selling its last set of exclusive residences.

In 2020, the iconic, exoskeleton tower had a record-breaking year of sales, with over $100 million in total. Buyers included star athletes and celebrities like David Beckham and Paul Pogba, as well as affluent purchasers from the Northeast and California that have been migrating to Florida and its prime residential destinations, topped by One Thousand Museum.

“While our original timeline for securing an inventory loan was pushed due to travel restrictions that hindered lenders from walking the finished project, we ultimately found the right lender in Cirrus Real Estate Partners,” said Louis Birdman, co-developer of One Thousand Museum. “We are pleased to enter this new chapter and confident in the upcoming sellout of our landmark building.”

“Despite the pandemic, South Florida proved to be a thriving spot for new residents who flocked to Florida from within the United States, and One Thousand Museum was a project that shined,” said Mayi De La Vega, Founder and CEO of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the Exclusive Broker for One Thousand Museum. “The tower had a record-breaking year with $100 million in sales, and 2021 has already started off with more than $35 million in sales, putting us on pace to exceed our 2020 success.”

The combination of tax benefits and a bustling cosmopolitan city that keeps growing in Miami have continued to bring in new residents from around the world. This year alone, One Thousand Museum has closed $35 million in sales, on track to surpass the milestone reached last year.

“We look forward to the commercial growth of One Thousand Museum,” said Tony Tufariello of Cirrus. “We worked to deliver capital quickly to maintain momentum at the property.”

“We have the experience to understand the operating complexity that comes with a high-profile luxury tower such as One Thousand Museum,” added Joseph McDonnell of Cirrus. “We believe that the capital we provided will help the property fulfill its significant potential."

One Thousand Museum – developed by Louis Birdman, Gilberto Bomeny, Kevin Venger, and partners Gregg Covin and Todd Glaser – was officially completed in August 2019, as one of the country’s most anticipated masterpieces.

Jennifer Nicole Lee Presents A Waterfront Coral Gables Estate

Haute Residence — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 16:11:00 +0000

Jennifer Nicole Lee presents

This two-story neo-classical Italian-style villa can be described as nothing short of palatial. Designed by architect Ramon Pacheco, the Florida dream home was custom-built by the current owners to a whopping 18,000 square feet. Its width spans the waterfront of the Gables Estates lagoon, with marble-veneer walls and custom carved stone elements throughout. In fact, there's so much marble that $3 million of it was installed, along with amenities like a huge master suite with dual two-person baths, with huge walk-in closets, five additional en-suite bedrooms, and a two-bedroom "staff quarter" you can call a guest suite.

Check out the custom-crafted kitchen with "butlers pantry," the 600-bottle custom wooden wine cellar, and library-office with a fireplace and private side entry. There's also an enormous gym with a full bath. The 200 feet of seawall leads to a 140-foot dock. The home is listed by the owner, Sandra Fiorenza of One Sotheby's International Realty, by appointment only.

Paola Marulanda Closes Sale Of The Beach House In SoFi

Andres E. Caceres — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 17:41:26 +0000

Haute Agent Paola Marulanda closed the sale of The Beach House, a 2-story property designed and decorated by Steven G and located in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth boutique condominium Ocean House, for $15,060,000. Chad Carroll represented the buyer.

Marulanda, CEO of Luxury Homes Connect at ONE | Sotheby’s International Realty, says, “these are deals that mark the start of a new era in Miami. It’s exhilarating to represent America’s wealthiest individuals and help them navigate this new landscape while achieving record-breaking sales for our sellers in Miami, which seems to be the world’s hottest city for relocation right now.”

The new owners will enjoy over 6,000 of indoor square feet of this South Florida gem while having access to the services and amenities of a 5-star resort at the Ocean House. With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home is on 7,197 square feet of lot size. It also has two sunrise terraces, one sunset terrace, a movie theater, and a glass-encased Wine Vault enclosing a hidden home office.

"The Beach House is a two-story residence within a boutique building that has the whole space and feel of a single-family home," adds Marulanda. "It's what I call the ultimate hybrid property because it can satisfy the safety, privacy, and amenities of a secure building. As much as the single-family market is absolutely killing it and stealing the show, there are a lot of people who come from cities used to being in condos and the families sometimes don't feel as secure and comfortable without having the assets that a building has. This property, you cannot make it up. There is nothing like it in South of Fifth which is such an elite neighborhood.”
