Turnberry Ocean Colony I’m continuing to write new posts here on the Miami Beach real estate blog after spending countless hours, days, weeks, and years developing this blog site only to see Google kick it to the SEO curb and for what I don’t know (yet). I’ve been building this real estate information database since November 2007 and thought I’d invest more into it this year, making it “pretty”… well if it’s not broke, don’t try & fix it, folks!

I changed WordPress hosting and hired a developer to give it a facelift; however, with these efforts came an enormous drop in rankings and visitors. This is first a business, second a resource database, and so it has to make sense when countless hours are invested into researching & reporting on our market. I am in it for life and never give up, but I have stalled this last few weeks on adding valuable posts. In contrast, my trusted contributor Lisa Canfield added fun posts related to the seasonal events & happenings of Miami Beach. I’ve been working on the site’s back end for search engine purposes. It should bounce back to the normal reader count soon enough.

Real Estate Services

2010 business goals. I’m creating more sites (details coming soon) and offering value-added services to keep you informed on the local market, focusing more on the luxury condos of Sunny Isles Beach. The new year will bring new real estate services and many more real estate related videos showcasing the very best condos for sale for your information & enjoyment.

I’ll likely be bringing in a buyer’s representative who can efficiently assist the many buyers inquiring about investment condos. It was a banner year for MiamiDreamRealty.com. We represented 60% and 40% of sellers. I expect 2010 to be another great year as consumer confidence increases dramatically along our oceanfront market!
