Throughout my career, technology has played an instrumental role in the success of my business – from implementing the latest website technologies to launching mobile apps for the Miami condo market. One such technology that has been a mainstay in my business is video. Since at least 2006, I have incorporated video in my real estate business to capture and market properties online. Back then, to capture a video tour of a property, I would strap a digital camcorder to a tripod and push it around on dolly wheels. Since then, not only has video technology improved significantly but the means with which to capture footage has seen major advancements as well. Perhaps the most notable of these advancements is drone technology. By attaching an HD camera to a drone, one is able to capture breathtaking shots from way up high. It also is a fabulous way to provide geographic perspective to an online audience who may not be familiar with the location of a property.
Over the past year, I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to integrate aerial footage captured via drone to my marketing arsenal. My recent listing of unit 5602 at Marinablue – a turnkey furnished 2 bedroom condo located just one floor below the penthouse level – seemed more than ideal. The video above demonstrates the power of drone technology in capturing stunning footage from the skies above. After watching it, I am sure you will agree that drones and real estate are a match made in heaven.
Marinablue is located at 888 Biscayne Blvd in Downtown Miami – directly across the street from Museum Park.

No expense spared. Over $150,000 spent in upgrades, furniture, lighting, and renovations. Incredible attention to detail. Master and half baths both completely renovated.

Welcome to excellence! Designed with precision, Marina Blue unit 5602 is an impeccable residence offering some of the very best, awe-inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, Port of Miami, and Downtown Miami skyline. Over $250,000 in upgrades, furniture, lighting, electronics, and artwork. Located on the 56th floor, unit 5602 features hard wood floors; motorized shades; blackout curtains; custom lighting; artwork by acclaimed artists; large, custom-built walk-in closets in both bedrooms; and a state-of-the-art electronics package, which includes a 3D TV, Blu-Ray 3D player, Bose surround sound system, and security camera system with remote viewing capability.
Very unique floor plan. Only 5 of its kind in the entire building. One of just a few units in all of Downtown Miami offering a direct water view and balcony access from BOTH bedrooms. In almost every other case, the view from the second bedroom faces west (away from the water) and/or does not have balcony access. The same can be said for most 3 bedroom units throughout Downtown Miami. Having an amazing water view is one of, if not, the biggest reasons to buy a condo in Miami, so why not buy a condo which would afford you the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking views from EVERY room?

SLS Brickell Hotel & Residences Construction Update [PHOTOS]
Earlier today, I showed a client a number of east-facing units at Infinity at Brickell. This gave me the perfect opportunity to check in on the progress being made to SLS Brickell Hotel & Residences. As of today, construction had reached approximately the 27th floor. I must admit, when SLS Brickell was initially announced, I thought the views from the east-facing units at Infinity at Brickell would be completely destroyed. To my surprise, although the two buildings butt up against one another, there’s actually a lot of room separating the actual residences. Basically, the two developments are separated by their respective pool decks. Although views directly to the east will be blocked from Infinity at Brickell, the space between the two buildings allows for residents to enjoy the views to the north and south. Besides, let’s not kid ourselves, the view of the SLS Brickell pool deck is going to be breathtaking in its own right.

Sweeping Panoramic Views from the Rooftop Pool Deck of Millecento Residences [VIDEO]
Yesterday afternoon, I visited Millecento Residences for the second time within the past week. Both times I got the opportunity to visit my favorite part of the building – the rooftop pool deck located on the 43rd floor. The sweeping panoramic views from up there are jaw-dropping to say the least. From that vantage point, one is able to gain a true appreciation for the incredible transformation that is currently taking place throughout Brickell. I stood there on that rooftop pool deck yesterday truly grateful for being a part of this city at this particular moment in time. Change can be a beautiful thing, but to see it happening in all directions is magical. Don’t take my word for it though. Watch the video below and see for yourself. I shot the video at 4K resolution. If you are able to do so, I highly suggest that you watch the video at max resolution. It’s almost like you’re there. Technology is a wonderful thing!
