A Broward County resident for 30 years, (Weston resident since 1990), Adele joined Coldwell Banker in 1999 and is the driving force behind “Pick&Partners”, a dynamic, multi-lingual team who have earned 5 Star rating reviews. Adele’s ambitious efforts to keep home values up has resulted almost all her listings consistently selling way above market value. “To secure top dollar, home staging is crucial, as every square foot should be sparkling to put your home ahead of the rest.” At the initial consultation, Adele and her team scrutinize every single room, advising sellers how best to maximize each one’s potential. She also spends considerable time going through every professional photo, making sure each is edited in a way to grab the buyer’s
attention. After that, with a virtual tour and YouTube video in place, it’s “Show Time!” and their multi-media marketing process begins, which includes 550+ internet sites, cable TV advertising, direct mail, magazine & social media marketing. They also prefer to accompany showings to ensure that the home’s features are highlighted and to make the showings an inviting, memorable experience. She believes that all that extra attention to detail is what ultimately drives their success. As member of the internationally renowned Cartus Broker Network, Adele is certified to assist corporate relocation clients, both in the marketing of their home or the purchase of a destination home. “If you’re purchasing a home, I’ll make sure you’re an educated consumer to get you the best deal possible, but if you’re selling, my goal is to get you the highest value possible.” In loving memory of Hy Rachbind, a Pick Team associate for many years.

MICHELLE FARBER ROSS
Broker / Managing Partner MMD Realty, LLC 2896 East Sunrise Boulevard Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304 954.835.5500 www.mmdrealty.com EDUCATION » Bachelor Degree in Marketing and Advertising, Florida International University AFFILIATIONS » The Dan Marino Foundation » Leukemia and Lymphoma Society » Young At Art
Raised in Plantation, Florida, Michelle Farber Ross has strong roots among the South Florida Community. She was solely responsible for relocating Garda’s North American headquarters from California and procured $1.0 MM in city, county and state grants and tax relief for the company, as well as relocating key personnel to the area. Some recent accomplishments include selling the Escape Hotel – Tiffany House located behind the W Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Residences as well as achieving record sales in Fort Lauderdale Beach oceanfront enclave, Townsend Place, and assemblage on Las Olas Isles. In 2011, Ross joined forces with Hall of Fame quarterback and CBS news analyst, Dan Marino, to form MMD Realty, LLC. Their vision was to create a brokerage that empowers agents, whether new to the business or well-seasoned, to exceed their personal goals and grow their business to previously unthinkable heights. Never relying on traditional marketing, Michelle has tapped into her advertising background to create a template for professional videos filmed in seven languages and marketed around the world, targeted directly to the buyers. Many of these videos may be viewed on the MMD Realty youtube channel. Additionally,
thinking out-of-the-box has led Ross to take the MMD Realty agents on several road trips to Canada to speak to Canadians about the market conditions in South Florida. These seminars have helped Canadian buyers to understand the business of Florida real estate today and caused the MMD agents to successfully sell properties to these buyers. Recently MMD Realty has launched the sales of Aquavita Las Olas, a luxury waterfront mid-rise condominium project, set to break ground in November/December 2013. One month after the project received city approvals at the August 21st PZB meeting, the sales team secured fifteen reservations with only seven units remaining. The latest milestone for MMD Realty was the move to their new Fort Lauderdale Beach area location. Their new office is located one block from A1A on the south side of Sunrise Boulevard. This move was timed strategically so the agents could capitalize on the high season beach traffic and generate sales. Within the last month, since relocating their office, MMD has extended the hours to accommodate patrons walking to-and-from the neighborhood restaurants and have serviced over 30 walk-ins. Thankful for the opportunities afforded her, Ross always tries to pass unmatched opportunities to her agents.

SHAHIDAH WALKER Licensed Realtor 11555 Heron Bay Blvd #200, Coral Springs, FL 33076 786.471.3519 luxuryhomesouthfl.com EDUCATION » BA in communications/ Howard University AFFILIATIONS » Certified with the Luxury Home Council as a specialist, Company: The Real Estate Network Int’l LOCATIONS » I specialize in Davie, Weston, Southwest Ranches, and Plantation. Can assist with beachfront properties as well.
The residents of Davie, Southwest Ranches and Weston are generally attracted to the finer things in life. These areas have a reputation for beautiful homes, great schools and luxury living. These things are what attracted me to this area. As a mom of 3 girls, my priority was to have them in an A school system where they will be in the right environment to succeed. Being in such a great school turned out to be a real blessing when my daughter was diagnosed with Autism and required additional educational services. The outstanding support at the Public school enabled her to get back on track and graduate with her peers. Another bonus of being in Davie is all of the amazing parks. We spend a lot of time at outdoors and we have so many parks to choose from near our house and every park is covered by a shade to protect children from the sun. Real estate has been my passion for the
last 10 years. It started out with me sitting at home with my 1st daughter watching House Hunters on HGTV. But after I began construction on my home in Davie I decided to make a career out of doing two things I loved, connecting with people and looking at houses. The Real Estate Network International has provided me the opportunity to assist my clients with all their real estate needs. Specializing in luxury homes, my goal is to connect you with the home of your dreams. As well as to ensure that all your real estate transactions are negotiated effectively, whether it be buying, selling, or securing an investment property. I am completely invested in the well being of my community, serving as a committee member of Autism Speaks Broward, the Young At Art Children’s Museum and supporting Honeyshine Foundation allows me to be a blessing to others.
