Sandra Fiorenza just closed on her listing 530 Arvida Parkway on Gables Estates on Tuesday, September 7th. The power couple Sandra and Randy Fiorenza started building this two-story Italian marble mansion in 2009 and moved in at the end of 2012. Randy is an aviation executive and owner of Pam Am flight academy. Sandra marketed and sold the house under her brokerage One Sotheby’s Realty.

This two-story Palatial/Neo-Classical Italian-style villa was designed by renowned architect Ramon Pacheco. The property is 43,123 sq. ft comprised of 14,500 square feet of adjusted living area and 4000 Square feet of covered terraces facing south on a wide Gables Estates lagoon with marble veneer walls and custom carved stone elements. The exterior is completely done in marble and custom carved stone elements throughout. The house has 8 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, a wine cellar, a huge gym, two offices, 
and a covered outside kitchen.

In an illustrious career that continues to this day, the Haute Agent has sold over $350 million in real estate, including $30 million just in 2020. The Miami real estate boom that began before the pandemic hit has seen the top movers of the industry like Fiorenza excel at marketing and achieving the promotion and sale of everything from mansions to single-family homes and luxury condos at a rate rarely or never seen before.

So how did all this start? "After asking myself why I would want to go into real estate, I said 'Why not?' and it ended up being a blessing," says Fiorenza. "I got my license in a week. Because I spoke several languages, I got my first assignment at The Yacht Club at Portofino in Miami Beach, where I sold 40 apartments in the first three months. After working on several developments in the South of Fifth neighborhood in development sales, I started doing sales on Fisher Island because I was already living there and sales happened organically there. Then I met my husband and decided not to do development sales anymore. I got married and had three kids and was very much involved in the Fisher Island community. I know how crucial community-building is to living a happy, fulfilled life. I love sharing that knowledge with my clients so they can thrive the way my family and I have in Miami.”

Organically servicing the Europeans as well as many Latin Americans who would look and buy from her on Fisher Island, Fiorenza became a force on the exclusive island just off Miami Beach. In 2009, she and her husband decided to build their own house on a waterfront lot in Gables Estates. They moved into their "dream home," a two-story neo-classical Italian-style villa, at the end of 2012.

During the building process of the home, Mayi de la Vega recruited her to join ONE Sotheby's International Realty, where she focused on the Coral Gables and Gables Estates, Cocoplum and Pinecrest areas, while branching out in other industries like yoga and cosmetics. "I was always very experimental and doing different things, but real estate is my passion," she says.

On the growth of the local real estate industry, she says, "Miami Beach was so different in 1998. It was an idyllic, vacation place, and now we have a cosmopolitan city. I said to myself back then, 'I don't understand why everybody does not want to live in Miami, it has everything in culture, weather, no pollution, and a great place to work.' I always make a point that I did not immigrate to the United States. I immigrated to Miami."

Fiorenza used the tools available to market her listings and grow her network at a time when there was no social media or email marketing. She advertised in newspapers, journals, and sent postcards and constantly networked, setting herself on a path that has not let up in achieving sales that placed her at the top echelon of the industry.

In a saturated business that has seen many people join the industry and getting their own licenses, she keeps expanding her services. "I think when you are ambitious and work hard, you can make it in real estate, but it also comes down to where you want to be and what kinds of connections you have,” she says. “At this point in my life, I am more into investing in real estate and giving investment advice; looking at broader lifestyle service offerings."

Her status among the world's elite professionals has afforded her clients ample access to luxury experiences in Miami style, whether in real estate or otherwise.

Accurately pointing out that there are more agents than homes for sale in Miami, Fiorenza explains the current challenge for every broker and agent. "You have to really get in there, work 12 hours per day and think, dream, and tap into all aspects of real estate. If you don't do it full-time, you will eventually give up because you have to put in a lot of energy."

The post Second Haute Leaders Dinner Series Held At Marion Miami With Lennox Lewis appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The real estate and beauty platforms came together to welcome Lee and Fiorenza for a perfect blend of business and healthy living. They spoke on the importance of health, fitness, and wellness to maximize their (and yours) workdays and business.

How do you stay active when busy? These ladies have the formula to success.

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

Highlight quotes:

Jennifer Nicole Lee: "I'm the author of 17 books. I'm very blessed to say that i've graced over 93 magazine covers since I started in 2003. It all startedjust going out in faith that I can be the best woman, best mom, best wife, and just the best modern day woman and I've taken that passion now into luxury real estate... You have a pharmacy from the neck up, and this is where you get your dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and your endorphins. Not to sound too scientific, but if you want to boost your mood and feel like you have more mental clarity, you have more get-up-and-go, and more energy, you've got to work out. Your brain is not wired to be motivated all the time. But what do you do? Trick it. You actually just say, 'Let me work out for 10 minutes,' but as soon as that dopamine kicks in, because it is a neurotransmitter and it's very powerful, you can't stop working out. You get that internal reward system. Go to bed earlier, wake up earlier and get that workout in the morning. You're going to be your own best friend when you're fighting the war on fat."

Sandra Fiorenza: "When you look back for where we were a year ago to now, it's just incredible because the [Miami] market has shifted so tremendously, and we have become so popular. In some areas, prices have definitely almost doubled. Unfortunately, a lot of people had to go through harm and the situation, but I think a lot of other people saw this as an opportunity and tried to reinvent themselves, relocate and find new hope and a different angle on life... Discipline is very important in real estate, as well as exercising. I make it a point that I exercise religiously. It's just 60 minutes a day, but they're there. That's the same thing with a work ethic in real estate. Do the right research, stick to your appointments, follow up with people. In the end, all of this business revolves around discipline. You have to keep up your energy level because you have to always be motivating to your clients. To prospect, you have to be out there and market yourself. So for me, I have the most energy again when I set my tone in the morning and exercise.

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.

Haute Residence: How has the luxury real estate market in Fisher Island been performing over the last year?

Sandra Fiorenza: A total of 65 condos closed on Fisher Island in the last 360 days and currently, there are 20 pending sales. The highest sales was a 10,120 square feet PH apartment in Palazzo Del Sol that sold for $20,000,000 as well as the 6,200 square feet PH in Villa Del Mare for $20,000,000 respectively. I brought a buyer for a 7000 square foot apartment in Palazzo de la Luna on the 9th floor that closed for $16,000,000.

At the beginning of the pandemic, sales slowed because Fisher Island didn’t allow any visitors or brokers to come to the Island. But once those restrictions were slightly lifted, interest and sales in Fisher Island picked up, and currently, Fisher Island has the lowest inventory ever.

What social spots are available on the island so residents don't need to go to the mainland?

Buyers like low-density apartment living with an amazing lifestyle. Fisher Island has five restaurants, a fabulous spa, a state-of-the-art fitness facility with a large variety of classes, a beauty salon. 18 tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, a delicatessen supermarket, two marinas, and a small medical facility. Residents basically do not need to leave the Island. There are so many possibilities to mingle with friends and fellow residents in all outlets of the Island. Also, the Island has its own post office and fire department.

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Zoom and webinars is a new way of life.

Alex Min, Lake Tahoe, NV: "Up 30% at a minimum in the last six months."

Alison Melton of The Melton Group, Hilton Head Island/Bluffton, SC: "On average, we are +30% from last year and sales volume is +64% for residential homes."

Bento Queiroz of The Bento Queiroz Group, Southwest Ranches/Weston, FL: "Inventory is shrinking and therefore prices are steadily increasing."

Brian Pearl of the Pearl Antonacci Group, "Median list prices in Boca Raton are up 34.7% from last year in single-family homes."

Catherine Burgess of The Burgess Group, Boulder, CO: "Our area has appreciated substantially since last year."

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "[On] average, 10% [up]."

Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL: "Prices have increased due to the low single-family home inventory that's currently available."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "Prices are slightly increased but not as much as you think they would [have]. There is just a lack of inventory and prices will rise here shortly."

David Welles, Wellington, FL: "Prices are up approximately 10-12%."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Going up and continue, estimated 5%."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "Residential prices in the Steamboat Springs area are up an average of 11% from last year."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "Increased."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Manhattan is the only area not increase will be remembered as years of opportunity in residential real estate. Prices are expected to stabilize before the end of the year and increase after the pandemic is over."

Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA: "Prices are generally up 5-7% for properties under $6 million."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "Our market has 1/3 the inventory that we had last year, which is driving our average sales price up across the board."

Jennifer Brilliant, Surfside, FL: "Prices for houses are higher this year. Prices for condos are about the same."

Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: "Significantly higher and still trending upwards due to low inventory."

Kathleen Floryan, Jacksonville, FL: "Up."

KC Martin, Paris, France: "Prices are generally holding or up, depending on the area. Buyers are looking to make moves in real estate now with interest rates low, Covid uncertainty, and looking to diversify their investment portfolios, which includes real property."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA: "We have seen prices, in some areas, climb, and in other areas [stay] steady."

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Prices are going up, inventory is going down!"

Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina: "Simply put - the prices are higher. The average list price ($397,829) was 20% higher while the average sales price ($390,696) was 23% higher. You can readily see from those prices that Asheville maintains its status as “recognizably affordable.”

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "50% higher."

Nilou Henderson of Henderson Ventures, Charlotte, NC: "Steadily increasing. Some areas have seen an increase of almost 20% in the last year. I expect the increases to remain as inventory remains low."

Here, members of the Haute Residence Network share their thoughts on the subject.

"Homeowners cannot match the networking influence or results of experienced real estate agents, even though we wish they could." - Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA.

"As experts in our field, a professional Realtor will know all the possible issues that can arise during a transaction and have the industry connections to get them resolved, so that collectively we can work towards a smooth closing. In a luxury market, my knowledge has come from years of experience, and investing in extensive luxury training to ensure that I am current and astute on things that all too often the homeowner may not think about. When you have to deal with wetlands, easements, open permits, property lines, warranties, previous history of the property, there are always variables that make it crucial to have that expert available to you. Also, in a low inventory market like we are currently seeing along the Emerald Coast, we have the ability to find properties through our spheres they would not be able to find on their own." - Hilary Farnum-Fasth, Broker, Owner, Corcoran Reverie, Scenic 30A area, FL

"Listing with a professional real estate agent gives the property endless marketing avenues that an owner would never be able to do. Through Sotheby’s I can network with agents basically all over the world and market a property in so many different markets." - Sandra Fiorenza, Miami Beach, FL.

“Your bottom line!  Stats are proven agents deliver a better net! Better systems, better marketing, better relationships, a better deal!” - Scott Goshorn, Brentwood, CA

“Experienced agents are skilled negotiators and understand what buyers want and what potential pitfalls lie ahead, so we can build a sales process that has a high probability of success.” - Cyd Greer, Napa Valley, CA.

"A trusted advisor delivers far beyond their fee in terms of ROI, time saved and quality of experience.” - David Hatef, Washington DC Metro area.

"Your Realtor can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in your local market, as well as the price and condition of competing properties. These are important factors in marketing your home and selling it for the best price. Statistics show that listing your home with a professional results in both a faster sale and more money for the seller." - Susan Ito, Dallas, TX.
