Hi Everyone:

I've been on hiatus partly because I forgot my password and could never re-assess my site! I finally remembered today and re-entered. Those senior moments are really kicking in. The property environment on Miami Beach has changed drastically in the past year from when I was chronicling the Open House showcases. Now it is pretty much the same property week after week and nothing is selling. Rentals have kicked in bigtime and that is how most Realtors are surviving these days. I will be presenting available rentals on this site so stay tuned.

RAMB Brings Russian and Miami Realtors Together

November 13, 2006

Trump Dezer Development was the co-matchmaker and hosted a cocktail reception at their sales center in Sunny Isles. The Russian Realtors were in fine form fresh from the convention in New Orleans which brought Realtors from around the world together. A lot of them spoke English or had translators nearby so business cards were cheerfully exchanged and new friends made. The National Real Estate Congress is set to begin 16-20 June, 2007 in St.-Petersburg, Russia. It will be a grand affair held in a magnificent city. The Congress will offer tours of noteworthy developments in St. Petersburg exposing them to the West. It is a huge International networking opportunity.
