JUST SOLD!!!  $4.35mil!!!  Another record sale by Sigurdsson Schechter Luxury Real Estate!!!  With breathtaking unobstructed ocean views, Unit 1101/08 of the landmark Continuum II is not your average South Beach condo.  This four-bedroom, four-bath featured a private elevator foyer, 3,500 square feet of living space and 10-foot ceilings.  The Continuum II is a 13-acre oceanfront complex complete with three pools, a trainer’s dream gym and is walking distance to the best restaurants and hottest nightlife in Miami Beach. In today’s market even a gem like 1101 needs to be well marketed.  We took an aggressive approach from the beginning.  We wanted 1101 to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible and highlight the key selling points –continuos ocean views, spaciousness and exclusivity. We encouraged our seller to invest in staging.  The return on investment for a seller that stages in comparison to a seller that does not is often eye-popping.  With that said the staging concept was simple – clean lines, simple accents for warmth and just enough left to the imagination of the buyer.  To find the right buyer we sought to advertise in publications that would appeal to the jet-set couple looking for a vacation home, the family with 2.5 kids and a dog looking to relocate from an equally large residence, and the international clientele that fall in love with the Miami sun and beaches and simply HAVE to own a residence in the 33139 zip code.  It wasn’t long before the buyers came calling.  As part of our service without compromise it’s our job to find the strongest buyer. The unit one floor below (listed by another company), closed at $3.25mil February 2010.  We found a strong buyer and after three months of negotiating the deal was sealed October 2012 for $4.35mil.  Now that’s SERVICE WITHOUT COMPROMISE!
