If brokerages are involved on both the buyers’ and sellers’ sides of a transaction, they typically count the deal twice.
One Sotheby’s top producing teams were: Mirce Curkoski and Albert Justo’s The Waterfront Team with more than $256 million in closed sales, the Coto Group, and the Abaunza Group, the brokerage announced.
The Nestler Poletto Team – with over $180 million in sales – led the top small teams, followed by The Worldwide Group and the Anna Sherrill Group.
Susan Gale’s group closed the most commercial sales, totaling $121 million, followed by Manny Chamizo, according to One Sotheby’s.
Arias, the top individual producer, closed sales totaling $182 million, including a $22 million purchase of a waterfront home in Golden Beach and a $24 million closing in Indian Creek.
The Waterfront Team’s top sale of the year was the $38 million sale of 6396 North Bay Road to MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright. The team represented the seller, AquaBlue Group.
Susan Gale’s top closing was the $70 million trade of the Como Metropolitan Miami Beach hotel to Brazilian developer JHSF, which is slated to become a Fasano property.
South Florida’s residential real estate industry has boomed throughout the pandemic.
Residential sales in Miami-Dade County totaled more than 26,000 closings in 2021, up nearly 50 percent compared with 2020, according to the Miami Association of Realtors. That statistic does not include off-market sales. On-market dollar volume for the year totaled $30.3 billion in Miami-Dade, more than double that of the previous year.
The pace of sales and price growth has been slowing recently, due in large part to limited inventory, experts say.
