That interest is also evidenced by the surge in prospective buyers who come to Michael Bloom from the popular Boca Executive Realty website which was voted #1 by the Florida Realtors Association. http://www.bocaexecutiverealty.com/ receives over 13 million hits each month, and ranks first with Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines.

MICHAEL BLOOM HONORED AS STELLAR 2008 ACHIEVER

Sun Sentinel – Sunday, January 18, 2008

Despite the downturn in the economy, which affected most realtors, Michael Bloom, Broker-Associate-Realtor® with Boca Executive Realty, LLC did exceptionally well. In fact, Boca Executive Realty recently honored Michael with its prestigious “Silver Achievement Award” recognizing him as one of the firm’s top brokers in 2008. This award comes one year after Michael also received an “Emerald Circle” award for his 2007 achievements. In 2008, Michael also had the distinction of being the leading selling agent in St Andrews Country Club where he has lived for the past 20 years. As the new year gets underway, Michael is well-positioned to continue the success he had in 2008 matching buyers and sellers for successful transactions.“No one works harder than Michael to provide unparalleled personal service to prospective buyers and sellers,” said Zev Freidus, owner of Boca Executive Realty. “I believe his background as a financial advisor and hedge fund manager enable him to provide advice that is economically sound for his clients, which means he closes more deals as “win-win” situations in which all parties to the transaction are pleased.”

Michael has quickly built up a long list of satisfied clients who consistently send him referrals. In addition, he receives a steady flow of qualified leads from the Boca Executive Realty website which was voted #1 by the Florida Association of Realtors and is extremely popular with affluent prospective homebuyers.

While the new year looks like it will be as challenging as the one that just past, Michael remains optimistic and levelheaded. “In any market, but even more so in today’s difficult economic times, it is extremely important that sellers and buyers have realistic expectations,” said Michael. “I hesitate to accept a listing if the homeowner isn’t willing to acknowledge the truth about home prices. It certainly doesn’t benefit the seller to have a home listed for extended periods of time at an overly-inflated price. Similarly, I am careful to qualify prospective buyers to be sure they will recognize an exceptional deal when they see one.”Exceptional deals are certainly available. Currently, Michael has top-notch listings with homes ranging in price from $800,000 to $5,000,000 in St Andrews Country Club, Mizner Country Club, Stonebridge Country Club, and other luxury neighborhoods. With Michael’s in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, unmatched level of professional service, and the ability to thoroughly understanding the needs of his discerning clients, he is certain to surpass his goals in 2009.

History of Jupiter Florida

Jupiter Florida is located in Palm Beach County primarily from the Donald Ross road exit on I-95 to slightly North of Indiantown Road. The 2000 census had a population of 39,328, as of 2006, the population was 50,028 plus the added population of Juno Beach and Tequesta as part of the general living area. Jupiter is known for its lush green spaces, kayaking, lighthouse, canoeing on the Loxahatchee river, beaches and much more. Much of it’s growth has come in the Abacoa are where there is high density downtown living and surrounding neighborhoods plus downtown shopping, Roger Dean Stadium and Florida Atlantic University. The recent addition of Scripps at Florida Atlantic University will bring up to 15,000 new technical jobs to the area. Jupiter has become home for many celebrities who like the Intracoastal and Ocean views, plus the large variety of golf course offered at many communities such as The Bears Club, Frenchman’s Creek, and Admirals Cove. There is a large range of housing options in Jupiter, including rentals, townhouses, single family houses, and luxury living with golf or water views. Recent growth in the area has not been limited to Jupiter, and it is often a challenge to distinguish between Jupiter and its neighboring cities like Juno Beach, Tequesta and Palm Beach Gardens. No matter which area city you call home, at the end of the day it’s an easy drive to the pier at Juno Beach, or the waterfront cocktails at the Square Grouper. The drive from Jupiter to the Gardens mall and Downtown at the Gardens is only minutes. Presented by local real estate agent Steven Schafer.

It's always fun when I get to photograph a really nice house. This week Bonnie asked me if I could find time to photograph her new listing in Royal Palm Yacht Club, and I'm sure glad I did. Next on my list....bringing her a buyer!

As I photographer, I'm always looking at the fine detail (ok really looking for defects to avoid) and this house really has top notch fit and finish.

Cape May Real Estate Update

Here's an update to my post about trying to find an agent to help my former client find a Realtor in Cape May, NJ.

I had several responses from my blog so I wanted to post and update. I was able to secure an agent in the Cape May area who was able to help. I was in Atlantic City over the weekend and the weather was fantastic. The fall colors are starting to show, the mums are out and it's just delightful.

As the year continues toward winter, I suspect we will see our Northern visitors come to Florida to shop for bargains. The good news for homeowners in Florida is that as prices have fallen many homebuyers who might have considered North Florida, Arizona or North Carolina are again taking a look at South Florida.

Boca Executive Realty’s Growth Continues

The following was published in today's Real Estate edition of the South Florida Sun Sentinel

Market shocks in recent weeks have brought many real estate brokerages and their agents to a stand still. But not Boca Executive Realty. Zev Freidus, the founder of Boca Executive Realty, and his competitive team of seasoned, highly skilled agents are busier than ever, bringing country club and waterfront clientele the results they want on a large scale. A boutique high-end firm of 30 agents, Boca Executive Realty continues to outperform its competitors in every market they serve.

Over the past 3 years, while countless other brokers have closed up shop, Boca Executive Realty has continued to expand its reach. Boca Executive Realty boasts a strong referral base from the New York area through its sister company, Manhattan Executive Realty. “Manhattan Executive Realty was founded on the premise that a strong synergy exists between the New York and South Florida Markets,” says Zev Freidus, Broker/President of Boca Executive Realty and Vice President of Marketing at Manhattan Executive Realty.

Bonnie Heatzig, Boca Executive’s waterfront estate specialist, has over $10,000,000.00 in pending and closed waterfront sales in just the last 60 days alone! Bonnie Heatzig is certainly a testament to the high caliber of Boca Executive Realty’s seasoned and highly professional estate agents. Bonnie explains, “Boca Executive sets the standard for ultra luxury real estate marketing by continually implementing strategic innovations that set it apart from other real estate companies. The winners of Boca Executive’s leading technology and superior marketing strategies are my clients, whose estate properties receive maximum exposure before qualified and interested purchasers from around the globe.”

Charles and Marla Hermanowski, widely recognized agents specializing in the sales and marketing of luxury country club homes are the first to attest, “In the worst market conditions of our 25 year career in real estate, we have had our best year ever, and we credit Boca Executive Realty for making this possible.”Mr. Freidus is a seasoned business professional with a proven track record in product marketing, technology and business development. He attributes much of his success with Boca Executive Realty to the time he spent as a senior marketing manager with a Fortune 100 company, where he honed his management and marketing skills needed to run a successful business in this ever changing and challenging market. “It begins with a fundamentally different philosophy toward recruiting, retaining and enabling our agents with the powerful tools to make them number one in their marketplace. We offer state of the art marketing resources at no added costs to our agents. We are selective about the agents we take on, but once an agent is on board, we make sure they are successful, which is why no agent has ever left this firm.” says Freidus.Boca Executive Realty is a full service real estate firm providing brokerage, mortgage and title services throughout South Florida.

Pick up the phone!

I just had to vent! As an agent at Boca Executive Realty, I wear my blackberry almost everywhere. I've had a good year despite the economic turndown and my simple answer to people is pick up your phone. I just had a client call me and ask if I could find them an agent in Cape May, NJ. I went on line and found a few who seemed to be qualified but 2 of the 3 didn't even pick up their cell phones. If they can't pick up their phone, what kind of service should I expect they will give the client. I often refer to these as "money calls". I think if you don't pick up your phone on Monday, you give up the right to complain about the market on Tuesday. If nothing else comes out of this downturn, it should be the return of full professional service to the buyer.

Boca Executive Realty’s global reach

The following article was published in the real estate section of todays South Florida Sun Sentinel

If you are one of the many homeowners trying to sell your home in this market, the quintessential buyer for your home is either an international buyer or a buyer relocating from an area where real estate values have fared better than South Florida.

International buyers have three major advantages. First, as we know, the American dollar is weaker than many other global currencies, and international clients are anxious to capitalize on the strengths of their respective currencies by getting a lot more for their money in the United States. Secondly, international real estate values have not suffered as much of a decline, creating an opportunity for them to capitalize on our lower prices. Lastly, often times, international buyers are ready, willing and able cash buyers who avoid the entire mortgage process; the primary reason deals are falling through right now.

Prospective qualified buyers from around the globe are drawn to Boca Executive Realty through its powerful Internet presence. By way of example, during the month of August, 2008, Boca Executive Realty’s award wining website, http://www.bocaexecutiverealty.com/ experienced visits made by approximately 1,000 Canadian buyers, 800 European buyers, and 400 buyers from the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the 60,000 prospective American buyers. Boca Executive Realty continues to be the number one brokerage that buyers turn to when purchasing a residence in South Florida. Surrounded by a team of seasoned, competitive, and well educated real estate professionals, Boca Executive Realty’s highly selective process of recruiting top notch agents is readily apparent to prospective buyers and sellers from around the world.

Robert C. Felder, United States Diplomat (ambassador) who retired in 2000, had this to say after working with Boca Executive Realty’s country club community specialists, Charles and Marla Hermanowski:

“From the moment we made contact with you for the first time because we were so impressed with the Boca Executive Realty website, you both were sensational. You sized up our needs, answered all our many questions, took us to see many houses and communities, gave us invaluable insights into the pros and cons of different neighborhoods and properties, helped us to choose wisely and helped us to negotiate the best possible financial deal. And all the while you both were delightful company. Simply put, nobody could ask for more from Realtors. We would (and will) recommend you to anyone we meet who is interested in buying or selling property in Palm Beach County.”

In addition to its strong international exposure, Boca Executive Realty boasts a strong referral base from the New York area through its sister company, Manhattan Executive Realty. “Manhattan Executive Realty was founded on the premise that a strong synergy exists between the New York and South Florida Markets,” says Zev Freidus, Broker/President of Boca Executive Realty and Vice President of Marketing at Manhattan Executive Realty.
