Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 09, 2011

Miami-based Zilbert Realty Group, a leading real estate brokerage company, announced today that it has sold the top-floor penthouse at Miami Beach?s famed Setai Resort and Residences, a Miami Beach condo property, for $ 21.5M. Penthouse ‘A’ is a 5803 square-foot, multi-story residence that sits at the top of The Setai, overlooking South Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. It also features a spacious, outdoor rooftop terrace with private pool, the only one of its kind.

The sale of the penthouse sets two new condo sales records in Miami Beach. It becomes the most-expensive condo ever sold, and has the highest selling price per square foot of all time. The $ 21.5M sales price topples the previous sales price record which was set in 2010 with the sale of a lower Setai penthouse, a sale then worth $ 15M. Another record that is broken with this sale is the $ 3704 per-square-foot selling price. This upsets records set also with the lower Setai penthouse in 2010 and Apogee South Beach?s sale of PH-04 in 2008, each selling for roughly $ 2400 per square foot.

Zilbert Realty Group Sales Manager, Jeffrey M. Miller, brokered the sale. Miller describes the penthouse as being, “A residence unlike any other”. He adds that “Miami Beach continues to introduce world-class, luxury residences to buyers seeking the absolute best in living”. Zilbert?s Managing Broker, Mark Zilbert, further describes the Setai as “One of Miami Beach?s most luxurious condo residences”, and that “Part of the allure of The Setai is that residents are serviced throughout the condo resort by Singapore-based, five-star hotel management company GHM Hotels”.

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

The recently completed 3,100-square-foot executive ranch home was designed to make life easier for a disabled family member, who was restricted to a wheelchair. The home, which is situated on 1.5 acres in the Watersedge Subdivision of Lisbon in Waukesha County, is now available for purchase from Roy Scholtka of Coldwell Banker HomeSale Realty in Lisbon.

In the fall of 2009, the Legg family sat down with an architect to design a 3,100-square-foot, energy-efficient home around the needs of their adult daughter, Michele, who was restricted to a wheelchair. Now complete, the executive ranch home on 1.5 acres in the gorgeous Watersedge Subdivision of Lisbon is a dream-come-true for a family caring for a loved one with mobility issues.

The beautifully appointed three-bedroom, three-bath Waukesha County handicapped accessible home features flush entrances to the home, wheelchair-friendly flooring, four-foot-wide hallways and three-foot-wide doors. The large open-concept kitchen and great room has plenty of space to maneuver a wheelchair.

The special open concept bedroom was designed to function like a luxury hotel room that flows into a large bathroom containing a 5? X 6? roll-in shower with hand-held showerhead. Other amenities include a built-in changing table, ADA toilet, and custom roll-in closet.

The most unique feature of this bedroom is the custom truss built into the ceiling that allows for the use of a lift. This lift enables the disabled family member to be carried from the bed to the toilet, shower and changing table without family members and caretakers having to bear the weight.

?Sadly, Michele passed away at her adult daycare program before the home was completed,? said Roy Scholtka, Waukesha County real estate broker and owner of Coldwell Banker HomeSale Realty. ?The family moved ahead and completed construction and landscaping of this stunning property, but they now want to pass it on to another family who can benefit from its unique design.?

The Wausheka County wheelchair accessible home features a private pond and a split bedroom plan with two oversized master suites. The open concept living space features hickory floors and tray ceilings. The cook?s kitchen features custom French country cabinetry, travertine back-splashes, Kohler fixtures, and a large island overlooking the living room. Other features include a dinette with a wet bar, formal dining room, computer room, laundry room, foyer and mudrooms.

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

In the suburbs about 25 miles outside of Atlanta sit two promising residential developments with an opportunity that many homebuilders, developers and real estate investors are finding difficult to ignore. The two groups of finished lots on the Freedom Realty Exchange (FRE.com) auction website are priced for a quick sale through a fair and competitive online bidding process.

The Bear Creek subdivision was originally developed in the late 90′s and early 2000′s with big dreams of becoming the next highly desirable community. But with poor planning and the swift downturn of the market, a large portion of this subdivision has now found itself on the virtual auction block at a fraction of previous asking prices.

As an alternative choice to a traditional real estate sale, online auctions can be particularly effective for sellers wanting to dispose of their property but are not willing to chase the market, which is what often occurs with distressed properties and depressed markets. An auction creates a trading platform that brings the buyer and seller together in such a way that fair market value is realized.

?Land can be a tough one to sell in this market, but when an investment opportunity such as this one comes around, it?s difficult for any investor to not get involved?, states LFC?s Director of Operations Ryan Devin. ?This is the type of auction that most buyers are waiting for and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.?

This real estate auction features finished residential lots in the following communities:

Ashburn, VA (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

Realty Alliance Incorporated (RAI), a national real estate referral company, is pleased to announce two donations totaling $ 3,062 to Rock Spring Church. These donations were possible because of RAI?s unique approach to providing funding to non-profits through real estate transactions. The main goal of RAI is to provide funding for America?s non-profits through real estate transactions.

This unique real estate referral company was the concept of veteran Real Estate Broker Jim Stakem and Settlement Attorney Mike Briel. Jim and Mike believe that modern businesses can find ways to make a profit and also give back to the community.

?While RAI is designed to fund non-profits throughout the United States, it is a real blessing to be able to fund a local church,? said Jim Stakem, Co-Founder of RAI. He continued to say, ?In these tough economic times being able to support non-profit organizations, which give so much to the community, is very rewarding.?

Adam Shively, a local partner real estate agent, provided his professional real estate services in conjunction with these donations. Adam, who has been a real estate agent for the past 9 years said, “It has been an amazing experience to be fortunate enough to give back to the communities I serve and thank the numerous organizations serving our area with generous contributions to their causes. It really brings a human perspective to business and warms the heart each and every time RAI is involved in a transaction.

The Rock Spring Church serves the Kearneysville, WV area and has a total congregation of approximately 300. In addition to church services Rock Spring Church provides pre-school through first grade education in partnership with We Disciples School, sponsors youth basketball leagues, and plans to start an indoor tennis program in the near future.

Pastor Lowrey said, ?We are a young church and the contributions from RAI were a welcomed blessing,? he continued to say, ?Recently resources have been tight, and programs like this provide us the resources to continue to provide for the community.?
