A Testimonial of a Successful Home Sale in Coral Gables

1436 Cantoria Sold for Almost Asking Price at $720,000. Julie & Jim Berlin wrote to us and said: “We want to personally acknowledge the wonderful job that Slesnick Associates provided in our recent relocation in the Gables. You really accomplished double duty in that you helped us buy a perfect new home and also sell our old home all within a couple of months. For several years we had been considering downsizing. Then low and behold we ventured into one of your open houses. It was just what we wanted and more. With your guidance we made an offer and achieved a closing within just a few weeks. At the same time, Slesnick Associates rushed to identify the appropriate preparation of our old home. We followed all of your suggestions and pressure cleaned, painted, decluttered, removed furniture, pulled up carpeting, washed our windows, and more. We also appreciated your allowing us to borrow some of your staging materials like oriental area rugs, paintings, and linens. Your experience in setting a fair price and in extensive marketing allowed us to attract a buyer surprisingly quickly. So we never had a period of two mortgage payments. Really outstanding!”

840 Coral Way : A One of a Kind Property

840 Coral Way has to be one of the most unique homes in all of Coral Gables. Built in 1926 and designed by noted architects John and Coulton Skinner for R.D. Maxwell. This house is a testament of the artistry and craftsmanship of the designers who worked in Coral Gables during its boom. The structure is an excellent example of the larger homes that were constructed along this prominent street. Designed in the "Italianate" style the house has an elaborate central portal, which comes to a pediment at the roof line to focus the entrance. The Skinner brothers also used round oculus windows at the mezzanine floor level to articulate the walls that allow for such high ceilings.
