EWM Realty Continues Dominance of High-End
Residential Real Estate Market
Company is #1 in total sales of million dollar-plus residences in Miami-Dade County
MIAMI (September 24, 2013) – As the resurgence of South Florida’s high-end residential real estate market continues, EWM Realty International continues as Miami-Dade County’s number one brokerage in the sale of million-dollar plus properties for the 12-month period ending August 30, 2013, according to data from the Southeast Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
During the month of August, EWM reported 41 transactions in excess of one million dollars, compared to 31 transactions for the second-highest ranked brokerage and 18 transactions for the third ranked.
Year-on-year numbers, September 2012 through August 2013, EWM was number one with a total of 429 transactions in excess of one million dollars, compared to 336 and 283, respectively, for the second- and third- ranked brokerages.
“It is an astounding figure,” said EWM President & CEO Ron Shuffield. “This level of sales reflects that our Associates have closed an average of more than one single-family home or condominium residence every 24 hours during this past year. In addition, EWM has been a leading Realtor this year in the pre-sale of Miami-Dade’s newest luxury condos, most of which will be completed over the next 12 to 24 months. We are extremely proud of our associates and management and congratulate each one for the high-level of service that they are providing to our clients.”
EWM Realty is the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate for Miami-Dade and Broward counties, as well as a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, which provides EWM access to thousands of real estate professionals across the globe.
“No doubt that our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate and our being a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate is a huge differentiator for our clients,” adds Shuffield. “These are two of the most compelling and trusted brands in the world, and we are able to capitalize on their unique reach. It certainly affords us a unique advantage.”
