Mother Ocean Marine Consignment Hits the Big Time With an Article in The Miami Herald!!

Mother Ocean Herald Article

I Love seeing a success story first hand!  About a year ago, I wrote a blog entry about a super new store that opened in Key Largo as a Marine Consignment shop.

Well now, my favorite little shop in the Keys has finally made it big!

Check out the article from the Miami Herald.   http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/11/18/v-print/2508413/ahoy-bargain-hunters-marine-consignment.html 

Since my previous article, I have made mother Ocean, my Go-To place, for Bumpers, Line, Rods and Reels, and even Stone Crab Traps. Inventory changes daily, so you never know what you may find.  My latest purchase was an anchor retrieval system in excellent, that I got for almost 60% less than at most marine retailers.

And the best part is the warm welcome I and all their customers get when they walk thru the door.

Best wishes and continued success to my friends Lysa and Reuven!

The Conchquistador Deal Of The Day - 8.23.2011 - Super, Venetian Shores Waterfront -$1,250,000!!

152 Severino Dr Plantation Key, Islamorada

I Love Venetian Shores. Located at Mile Marker 86 in Islamorada, it's one of my favorite Keys Communities. With its 11 peninsulas reaching out into Snake Creek, like fingers thirsty to drink in the sea, it offers hardcore boaters deep water dockage and quick access to Islamorada's famed fishing grounds through the Keys' last Draw Bridge.  If you have a Hatteras or other large boat this is the community for you!

Today's deal was listed by my colleague at American Caribbean, Amanda Moates, and what a very cool property!  Originally listed at $1,500,000, this home that sold for $1,250,000 is  great catch for the, I am certain, Happy Buyer!

The Conchquistador Deal of the Day 3/29 - Venetian Shores Short Sale - from $2,495,000 to Sold at $825,000!

124 Gulfside Drive, Plantation Key, Islamorada

It truly is amazing...  the dynamics...how...great a course correction we have seen in the last few years. The part that really gets me is how quickly fortunes (both literal and figurative) have changed.   This week I have seen all to well the havoc that the economy and subsequent housing fiasco have created in the upper tier of homes.  Homes and owners that were once thought to be immune from such catastrophes.  This week, I joined on of my associates as we were viewing a $2.6 Million foreclosure that had sold in the 4s.

It's been a rough road.  One that I know many of my clients and quite a few colleagues have had to endure.  But ...we are fortunate, fortunate to live in a Country where possibilities are almost endless, where the human spirit and ingenuity and risk can and quite often do payoff.  Where, if we are wise and learn from our mistakes we have the OPPORTUNITY...to flourish...once again.

And THAT is what THIS MARKET is all about.   OPPORTUNITY!!!! 
There are people who are making moves right now, people with VISION who are staking their claim, and taking advantage of opportunity and purchasing homes here in the Keys that are going to reward them quite handsomely in the future.

Case in Point:

124 Gulfside Drive, Plantation Key, Islamorada
This Venetian Shores short sale was originally on the Market for $2,495,000 and has now closed at $825,000.  Yes, someone was smart...very smart indeed.
