Why New York City Hotels Are Laughing at the Rest of the Country

New York City’s hotel market is doing what New York does best—defying the odds and making the rest of the country a little jealous.
 
While hotels nationwide are grappling with declining tourism and nervous business travel, NYC is out here rocking 82% occupancy rates, packed Broadway shows, and lines outside every museum gift shop.
 
In this episode, I break down why the Big Apple is booming while others are busting. We’ll dive into the city’s secret sauce—from limited hotel construction and strict Airbnb crackdowns to savvy international tourists who’ve clearly done their bagel research.
 
But… (and you knew there’d be a “but”), not everything’s perfect. With rising labor costs, fewer foreign visitors, and contract drama on the horizon, the city’s five-star streak might not last forever.
 
Whether you’re in real estate, hospitality, or just dreaming of your next NYC trip, this one’s got plenty of hot takes, insider insights, and yes, a little Gansevoort rooftop daydreaming.
 
🎧 Hit play—because this episode might just change how you think about the post-pandemic travel boom.
 
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
 
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!

Southwest Florida Homeowners, You Might Want to Sit Down for This

What do you get when you mix a red-hot housing market, a hurricane, soaring insurance costs, and the end of a migration boom? You get Southwest Florida in 2025.
 
In this episode, I break down the latest ResiClub report that’s got Punta Gorda and Cape Coral making national headlines—for all the wrong reasons. Prices in Punta Gorda are down 18.6%, condos have taken a bigger hit than single-family homes, and inventory? It’s looking more like 2019 than the pandemic frenzy days.
 
But this isn’t just a Southwest Florida story—this is a cautionary tale for every overheated market. I walk you through the five key reasons behind Florida’s housing cooldown: from the Surfside condo fallout to Hurricane Ian’s lingering damage, to the steep drop in domestic migration, rising new construction, and the sky-high cost of insurance.
 
It's a wild, revealing look at where real estate is heading—and who might be next.
 
If you're a buyer, seller, investor, or just a real estate nerd like me, this episode gives you the kind of insight most agents don’t even know how to pronounce.

Why Some Miami Rents Are Dropping—And Some Are Skyrocketing

Let’s talk about something that affects nearly everyone in Miami—rent.
 
Whether you’re a newcomer scoping out your first apartment, a seasoned local tired of bidding wars, or just nosey like me and want to know what your neighbors are paying, this episode is for you.
 
I dove into the latest data from Zumper to break down what’s really happening in Miami’s rental market right now—and spoiler alert: not every neighborhood is getting more expensive.
 
In fact, some rents are actually dropping. Others? Well… let’s just say Brickell still thinks it’s Beverly Hills.
 
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
 
Where rents are cooling off—and why
Which neighborhoods are still sizzling (looking at you, Coconut Grove)
How much a one-bedroom actually costs in Miami today
The best strategies for renters trying to get a deal in a tight market
And why this market shift might also matter if you’re a landlord (yep, I said it)
 
So if you’re wondering whether to rent now, wait it out, or run to Broward, grab your cafecito and join me for a 28-minute deep dive into the most current and surprising rental trends in Magic City.

Home Loans Just Got Easier (Kinda): What the New Credit Rules Mean for You

We’ve got some seriously good news for homebuyers—especially those who’ve been ghosted by mortgage lenders or told their credit score isn’t good enough.
 
In today’s episode, we break down two big moves shaking up the real estate finance world:
 
👉 First, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) just announced the rollout of new credit scoring models—FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0.
 
If that sounds like alphabet soup, don’t worry—we’re translating it all into plain English. The big takeaway?
 
More people may finally qualify for home loans thanks to these models, which look beyond just late payments and give credit for rent and utility history. Yes, paying your FPL bill might actually help you now.
 
👉 Second, we tackle some of the biggest myths stopping first-time buyers in their tracks. No, you don’t need a 20% down payment.
 
No, perfect credit isn’t required. And yes, there are legit 3%-down loan options that don’t involve selling a kidney.
 
We also dig into the psychological and cultural baggage that keeps buyers on the sidelines—and how real estate agents (👋 hi, that’s us) can play a role in rewriting the narrative.
 
This episode is part reality check, part motivational pep talk, and 100% helpful if you (or someone you love) wants to buy a home but thinks they can’t.

The 5 Rules My Mom Lived By—And Why I’m Sharing Them Now

In this episode of ALL IN Miami, I open up about something I’ve never fully talked about on a podcast: what it’s like to lose both your parents just 82 days apart… and still find a way to smile 95% of the year.
 
This isn’t a how-to. It’s not a guide. It’s not a silver-lining sales pitch. It’s just me being real—with you, with myself, and with anyone out there who’s hurting.
 
I share how I’ve learned to be okay without being happy all the time. How “doing better” became more powerful than “trying my best.” And how my parents—two of the most joyful, kind-hearted, generous humans ever—continue to teach me how to live, even now.
 
If you’ve lost someone…
 
If you’ve ever felt like you had to smile through pain…
 
If you’re just trying to make it through the day…
 
This one’s for you.
 
You’ll hear the five life rules my mom lived by, the way my dad lit up every room he entered, and how I’ve found unexpected comfort in small texts, shared memories, and showing up for others the way they showed up for me.
 
Let’s talk about grief. Let’s talk about gratitude. Let’s talk about just being okay—because sometimes, that’s the bravest thing we can do.
 
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!

Buy, Sell, or Run? The Truth About Miami’s Condo Market in 2025

If you own a condo in Miami… or you’re thinking of buying one… or you just like drama that involves developers, lawsuits, and surprise archaeological ruins — this episode is for you.
 
In today’s podcast, we break down:
 
Why HB913 has everyone in the condo-hotel space side-eyeing their building management
What happens when developers try to buy out unit owners, and the messy real-life example of Biscayne 21
Why shared facilities might cost you way more than you think
The very Miami problem of… ancient artifacts halting construction
And what the future looks like for luxury high-rises in a city that’s constantly evolving, legally and literally
 
There’s money on the table. There are lawsuits waiting in the wings. And there’s a growing divide between what developers want — and what owners are willing to give up.
 
So before you make your next condo move — or sell too early, or hold too long — give this episode a listen. It could save you money, stress, and maybe even a court date.
 
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

Will Rio Vista Change the Miami River District Forever?

Let me tell you about a corner of Miami where history, heartbreak, and high-rises collide.
 
Just steps from the Miami River, a new 140-unit apartment building called Rio Vista has been proposed — and if approved, it could reshape the Lummus Park Historic District in more ways than one.
 
In this episode, I break down:
Who’s behind the project (and why it matters)
The fire that changed everything — and the historic home that’s being preserved
Why developers are betting big on the Miami River area
And whether this is just another market-rate project… or something more symbolic for the future of downtown Miami
 
From the ashes of Palm Court Apartments to a $3.3M land play, this project has layers: international developers, preservation politics, and a location that’s hotter than a summer in Little Havana.
 
If you're watching Miami's transformation in real-time — especially what’s happening off Brickell's radar — you’ll want to tune in.
