Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Susan Breitenbach: "For newer agents, you can't give up. Put your head down, work hard, communicate. There's a lot of business out there for everyone... You have to work hard and have determination. Keep your mind open; do everything you possibly can to be the best."

Chris Cortazzo: "People want to buy in Malibu now. They are not going to Europe this summer. We are getting a lot of people from Aspen, San Francisco, New York, and obviously Los Angeles... It's a challenging but exciting time. I'm optimistic about when things start opening up."

Jill Eber: "To sellers, you have the opportunity right now because you can get your house in order, make it shine. Go in, get things in order, make it as beautiful as you can... We have a very big rental market. A lot of people are looking for short-term, but there are some now starting to look for longer-term."

REGISTER: https://hauteliving.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TgokTM4pTaiV-e7G7FsEgA

Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Brian Guiltinan: "The good thing about real estate is that, with technology, we have moved this way for a few years... I think we will see a lot of product (homes) hit the market this summer... You have to know your marketplace. It takes time to build relationships."

Moira E. Holley: "Zoom has now become part of my daily routine. I feel comfortable with my iPhone, iPad and Facetime walking through a property with clients on the other end, or just sending them a video so they can take a look."

Frank D. Isoldi: "Manhattan is an awesome place; Brooklyn is off the charts. But we are seeing a shift towards the suburbs. Now more than ever, people are going to be looking for outdoors, home gyms, home offices... It's crucial to have the right people working on the transaction on both sides."

Devin Kay: "Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook play a pivotal role to keep in touch with people. I have 10-12 buyers from outside of Florida looking to get into the market. Having a huge presence in social media and marketing is going to make a difference... With rates where they are now, banks are going to be more careful on who they lend to and how they qualify people."

Haute Residence welcomed Dan Conn, CEO of Christie's International Real Estate, for a live webinar on the latest in the real estate industry, and the company's leading role as it goes through times of quarantine and social distancing.

The webinar was hosted by Haute Living's Seth Semilof. Hundreds of live viewers joined from different corners of the world to listen as Conn gave his remarks, which touched on many aspects of the luxury real estate market. Semilof asked Conn questions submitted by the live audience. Conn also spoke about some of the high-end events that the company has held through the last 12 months around the world. Watch the video below.

Conn joined Christie's International Real Estate, an invitation-only network of luxury real estate specialists in 49 countries and territories around the world, after managing Brookfield Asset Management's Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (HRHC) investment, overseeing all property level departments, including finance, strategy, legal, marketing, and human resources as well as developing the HRHC franchise business.

Monday, April 27th at 4PM EST

Highlight quotes from today's webinar with Dan Conn:

"Our business has survived in the luxury world because of the way we think about servicing clients... You should think about your clients and your relationship with them. When you ask 'How can I help?', it makes a difference... For the agents, try to be careful. Stay out of harm's way and keep your clients out of harm's way. Do things virtually... If they can afford it, people want to get away from the density they were feeling as this (the pandemic) started to hit... The change in tax policy was helping and will continue to help Florida, but now there is another variable, that people will shy away from urban centers to go to less dense areas (like Florida)... In 2020, the most important thing is to focus on the team, try to keep everyone together, engaged... I don't see a scenario where the future of real estate is negative. People will always want a home."

The Jills Zeder Group Presents A Magnificent Miami Beach Estate

Colin Daniels, M.A. — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 14:30:07 +0000

Photo Credit: Coldwell Banker Real Estate

The 2-story estate is owned and was built by renowned Mexican architect/builder/hotelier Carlos Gosselin, who owns the ultra-luxury boutique resort Zoëtry Paraíso de la Bonita Riviera Maya. The home is named after Gosselin’s wife, whom he calls Bonita. This is the first time the 14,268-square-foot home, featuring six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, has been on the market. A home built in 1949, demolished in 1989, originally stood on the lot where the home now stands. From 1992–1994, Carlos Gosselin built the current home after he and his family purchased the land. In 1995, the Gosselin family moved into the completed home.

Situated on a sprawling 40,000-square-foot lot with 100 feet of water frontage, the estate overlooks Biscayne Bay and the Port of Miami. A stately gated entrance ― with gates imported from England ― welcomes guests into the home, which features imported doors from all over the world, and a beautiful courtyard and arched hallways. Features include imported Italian marble floors, century-old Chinese doors, custom-made Hindu doors, a movie theater, elevator, poolside gazebo, all hurricane impact windows, and sunset views. The bathrooms feature Sherle Wagner faucets and fixtures. Gosselin is the previous president of the Hotel Association for Cancun and Puerto Morelos. “This spectacular estate owned by Carlos Gosselin represents the epitome of luxury,” said Jill Hertzberg of The Jills. “With sprawling space, exquisite appointments, spectacular views and more, this is a property that is not to be missed.”
Star Island, a man-made island, is an exclusive enclave of ultra-luxury homes. It has been home to some of the most high-profile residents in Miami from celebrities to ex-presidents.

Address: 14 Star Island Dr., Miami Beach, FL 33139

The Jills Zeder Group Presents A Historic Coral Gables Home

Colin Daniels, M.A. — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 18:04:48 +0000

Photo Credit: Coldwell Banker Global Luxury

Considered the largest lot and interior space in the French City Village section, the 5,716-square-foot home was built in 1925 by George Merrick, developer of Coral Gables. Internationally renowned collector and architect Philip L. Goodwin, who designed New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, designed the home. A registered historic landmark, the home underwent a quality-crafted restoration in 2000.

Featuring four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half-bathrooms, the home was once owned by Florida Governor LeRoy Collins (in office 1955–1961) and Edward and Marie Swenson (founders of the girls school at Ransom Everglades). The residence has also hosted many political figures over the years, including Florida Governor Lawton Chiles (in office 1991-1998) and President George H. W. Bush.

Two Luxury Real Estate Titans Join Forces to Create The Jills Zeder Group

Colin Daniels, M.A. — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 14:00:48 +0000

Two powerhouses in the luxury residential real estate industry, The Jills and The Zeder Team, have combined to form The Jills Zeder Group, affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate. Before the Zeder Team’s announced affiliation with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate, the two teams closed a combined total of over $5 billion in real estate sales including collaborating on multiple luxury sales in the Coral Gables market.

The Jills team, founded nearly 25 years ago by Jill Hertzberg and Jill Eber, specializes in high-end, multi-million-dollar luxury properties in South Florida’s most elite enclaves representing celebrities, Fortune 500 executives and a diverse international clientele. The Jills have been ranked the number one team internationally 5 times by Coldwell Banker. They have sold over $4 billion in real estate since then.

The Zeder Team has specialized in representing buyers and sellers of high-end residential real estate for over two decades, with a primary focus on Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Ponce Davis, South Miami, Pinecrest, and Palmetto Bay. They particularly excel in Miami waterfront and luxury real estate.

“We are combining two generations between three cohesive families. We share a passion for delivering world-class customer service and an unparalleled work ethic. As a combined team, we will cover more areas, offer clients even more resources and elevate the home buying and sales experience to a new level.” states Jill Hertzberg of The Jills. The Jills’ team family members are founders Jill Hertzberg and Jill Eber; Hertzberg’s children Danny Hertzberg and Hillary Hertzberg; and Jill Eber’s sister Felise Eber. The Zeder Team is made of Judy Zeder and her children, Nathan Zeder and Kara Zeder Rosen.

“The combination of our respective businesses is a perfect, natural fit. Our cultures and missions are aligned. Plus, together, we bring significant benefits to clients: We will strengthen existing services, increase our footprint and offer a combined worldwide marketing platform.” declares Judy Zeder of The Zeder Team.

Some of The Jills’ high-profile 2018 sales include 4395 Pine Tree Drive, located in Pine Tree Drive’s exclusive estate section, for $19.25 million, the highest selling price on Pine Tree Drive in the year prior. Additionally, they sold 100 S. Pointe Dr., #3803, which was the highest sale in two years at the exclusive Continuum South Tower in Miami Beach, and the highest sale in the entire Continuum building (both towers) in over a year. The Jills’ top three sales are 3 Indian Creek Drive for $47 million in 2012, the Versace Mansion, located at 1116 Ocean Drive, for $41.5 million in 2013, and 42 La Gorce Drive for $30 million in 2013.

A few of The Zeder Team’s high-profile sales include the $23.46 million sale of 9 Tahiti Beach Island Rd. in Coral Gables, $17.2 million sale of 555 Leucadendra Dr. in Coral Gables, $12.437 million sale of 3307 Devon Ct. in Miami, and $12.4 million sale of 150 Arvida Pkwy in Coral Gables.

“Miami is growing, and we feel that teaming up with the highly successful Zeder Team is extraordinary. Together, we can expand our presence across Miami-Dade County, which we feel would be a great benefit to our clients.” says Jill Eber of The Jills.
