I make deals happen with Experience, Passion and Integrity.
We have offices in both Key Biscayne (Miami) and Orlando Florida.
A few things that make me your choice for a Real Estate Professional:
EXPERIENCE– Having worked through all the fluctuations in the Real Estate marketplace over the last 30 years, I can close the deal in any market.
LANGUAGES– I speak fluent English, Spanish, Italian, and basic French and Portuguese. I can usually speak to my clients in their native language which makes for a much more personal experience.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES: I specialize in income producing NNN (absolute Net) properties with excellent Cap Rates. The tenant pays all the expenses, and the investor collects a check every month.
RELOCATION: I specialize in helping people who are new to the area integrate into the community. Not only do I sell or rent them a beautiful property, but I also help with information about schools, doctors, stores and any information that will help them feel at home in the community.
SOCIAL MEDIA– Being very involved with social media with over 13,000 followers, I can market the properties to today’s audience.
Because I work in a boutique office, I can offer a highly personalized service. I am very passionate about what we do and give 100% of my time and effort to my profession. I feel it is extremely important to always be present to show my listings in order to gauge the response of potential buyers.

7 Reasons to Work With a REALTOR®
- An expert guide. Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
- Objective information and opinions. REALTORS® can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They also have objective information about each property. REALTORs®can use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need.
- Property marketing power. Property doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. A large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner’s contacts with previous clients, friends, and family. When a property is marketed by a REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
- Negotiation knowledge. There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A REALTOR® will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows you the flexibility you need to take that next step.
- Up-to-date experience. Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each sale. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS®handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career.
- Your rock during emotional moments. A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people, property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you.
- Ethical treatment. Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR®’s client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters.

Prince and my Real Estate Sale to a SUPERSTAR!
By Paola Padovan-Hall, Broker, e-PRO, CAM
The death of Prince marked the first time in my life that I cried over the death of a celebrity. He created the music of my youth and somewhere along the way, I came to love him. Not the person, as I did not have the honor of meeting him. No, it was more of a love of his art, his talent, his spirit. That incredible essence and soul that poured out of every lyric, every note. I never understood why people cried over celebrities they had never met. Until now. I sobbed and my heart hurt.
With Prince’s death I thought of a SUPERSTAR that I DID indeed have to privilege to not only meet, but also sell her a beautiful condo in Aventura.
The only problem is that, at the time, I did not know who she was…
It was the early 90’s. I had sold a property to a very nice Cuban couple and thankfully they were so happy with my work that one day they whispered that they were going to refer me to a “STAR” but that I had to act normal and not react to their fame. They said they could not divulge their name until our initial meeting which would take place in the next couple of weeks. WHAT???? Imagine! I stayed up for nights before the anticipated meeting going through every famous person I could think of. I practiced my facial reactions in front of a mirror. I introduced myself to my image dozens of times until it would come naturally no matter what the speed of my heart rate.
Finally the day arrived. I was almost shaking. The meeting took place in a hotel near the airport. I approached the room and knocked. An elderly gentleman with a flock of white hair answered the door. I smiled and was led to the living room of the suite. There stood the nice couple that referred me and a lovely Latin woman. My clients introduced me to the lovely lady and I shook her hand. I felt a very odd vibe in the room. My clients were looking at me strangely, the room went silent, I was very confused. Finally the elegant Latin woman said, in Spanish, “tu de verdad no sabes quien soy yo?” (“you really don’t know who I am?“). She had a huge smile and it was VERY obvious that she was someone magnificent. But WHO??? I answered that I didn’t know how, but that I did not recognize her. She had a glimmer in her eyes of surprise mixed with a sprinkle of amusement
Ok, so please don’t judge me now. Keep in mind I was in my mid-twenties. I was born in Uruguay, South America but came to the States at 2 years old and although I grew up on Key Biscayne, Florida with many Cuban friends, I had honestly not yet been exposed to Salsa. At 18 I moved to Manhattan and Latin music was not in my life.
So have you guessed who it was???? CELIA CRUZ!!!!! The gentleman who opened the door was her amazing partner in life, Pedro Knight, an extremely talented musician in his own right. She had nicknamed him mi cabecita de algodon (my little cottonhead) because of his majestic white hair and mutton-chops.
So, after the incredible embarrassment of our initial meeting, things went very well. I worked with them for weeks and they purchased a lovely condo with beautiful views in the Mystic Pointe 600 building in Aventura.
Later I came to know and appreciate their enormous talent. And I am extremely honored to say that, for a short time, I was their Real Estate Broker.
RIP Prince, Celia Cruz and Pedro Knight.
