Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
I'm not based in South Florida. How do showings work?
Most out-of-state clients start with private video walkthroughs over FaceTime or Zoom — narrated room by room, with details on the building, the street, and the comparables. When you're ready to see a home in person, Gabrielle coordinates around your travel and arranges access for any private islands or gated communities the home sits in.
What does flood and hurricane insurance look like on a coastal home?
Coastal homes in South Florida typically require flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program plus a separate wind / hurricane rider. Premiums vary widely by elevation, distance from the water, year of construction, roof age, and storm-protection features like impact glass. Gabrielle works regularly with specialist insurance brokers and can put you in touch for a real quote before you ever submit an offer.
Where is the South Florida luxury market right now?
Coastal South Florida saw a roughly 17.9% year-over-year increase in 2025 for ocean-access homes in Fort Lauderdale, with median waterfront prices near $1.85M across Broward County. Palm Beach County remains #1 in the country for net migration income. Inventory is tight above $5M and demand has stayed firm, so well-priced homes still move quickly. Anything specific to the bracket or community you're considering, ask directly.
Should I look in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach?
Each market has a different personality. Miami is fast-paced and design-forward, with the highest density of new construction and condo product. Fort Lauderdale offers the best per-square-foot value plus the most active boating and yachting scene. Palm Beach is the most established and traditionally formal of the three. Most clients tour two or three before settling — happy to walk through the tradeoffs over a call.
Do you represent sellers, buyers, or both?
Both. Engagements split fairly evenly between buy-side and sell-side. Gabrielle is particularly active with off-market and pre-MLS opportunities — homes that change hands without ever appearing publicly — which matter on both sides of a transaction.
Is this a good time to buy?
The honest answer is that it depends on your timeline. The right question isn't where the market is this quarter — it's whether the specific home you'd buy has a likely path to appreciation that matches how long you plan to hold it. Gabrielle would rather talk through your goals before making a market-timing claim, and will tell you to wait if waiting is right.
