I remember selling Canyon Ranch Living -Miami Beach condos –oh man, at least five years ago. I sold them before they had a sales office– at the developer’s office on 41st Street in Miami Beach . It seems like it was a lifetime ago.
Today, I had the opportunity today to take a tour of the Canyon Ranch Living Hotel and Restaurant. I was treated to a lunch with the developer, not a buffet-thing for agents, but a real impromptu lunch at the Canyon Ranch Living Restaurant . The hotel is... Read Full Story

Oh, the media. I remember in back as early as 2004 the media starting predicting that the bottom would be falling out just about now. Dire predictions. Horrible repercussions. Doom and more gloom.
I’ve never been an optimist. Why? Because I’m a businessman. I was always a realist. I told another colleague as early back as 2003 that it was “over.” She laughed, and laughed hard!
