I don’t expect everyone in the real estate industr

I don’t expect everyone in the real estate industry to agree. In fact, I hope they don’t.

Progress comes from different perspectives, healthy debate, and people willing to do the work.

That’s exactly what happens at NAR. Thousands of professionals from every corner of the industry come together to tackle difficult issues, challenge each other’s thinking, and work toward better outcomes.

What I don’t respect is dismissing the collective effort of those who step up, volunteer their time, and engage in the process. There is power in numbers, power in participation, and power in showing up. @nardotrealtor @themiamirealtors @rworldfl #realtor #realtorlife #narlegislativemeetings

Every boater in Miami knows this view. Fowey Rock

Every boater in Miami knows this view.

Fowey Rocks Lighthouse sits about 7 miles offshore from Key Biscayne, standing watch over the reef since 1878. Built to protect ships from the same coral formations that caused countless wrecks, it has become one of Miami’s most recognizable landmarks.

We call it one of our favorite boating destinations because getting there is part of the experience. The skyline disappears, the water changes color, and suddenly it’s just you, the ocean, and the Eye of Miami. #miamiboatlife #saltlife #miamilife

We’re always asked if there’s anything left in Mia

We’re always asked if there’s anything left in Miami in the $300s.

The answer is yes.

This penthouse residence in Miami’s Health District is offered at $350,000 and overlooks Downtown Miami and Marlins Stadium, with the Miami River just a block away.

Connected to the hospitals, Metrorail, Downtown, Brickell, and Wynwood, it’s the kind of location that quietly puts the entire city within reach.

Proof that Miami living isn’t always about waterfront views.

Sometimes it’s about having the city at your feet. ✨ #miamicondo #miamilife

Why do I go to NAR’s Legislative Meetings in D.C.

Why do I go to NAR’s Legislative Meetings in D.C. every year?

Because I care deeply about where our industry is headed.

I want to be in the room when important conversations are happening. I want to learn from smart people, challenge ideas, contribute where I can, and bring those insights back to the agents, brokers, and consumers I serve.

It’s a demanding week, but one that always reminds me why leadership matters.

🌟🌟 let me know if you’ll be there!!

I love when cities celebrate their pedestrian spaces instead of treating them as places to simply pass through.

One of the things Coral Gables does exceptionally well is bring art into the public realm and invite people to interact with it. The latest installation, Cielo Tejido (A Woven Sky), transforms Giralda Plaza into a colorful canopy of handwoven textiles.

Look up. Walk slower. Take the long way.

This cruise ship leaving @portmiami reminded me of a poem I wrote while studying architecture at the University of Miami. @univmiami

Miami is the shadows formed on a young girl’s face one Summer afternoon.
It’s the wrinkles on the hands of an old black man.
It’s looking through a magnifying glass at darkness.

At its shore I can discern a “Miami Detached” as the cruise ships try to merge themselves once again with reality.

Reality means turning into a sail high-strung to its mast,
feeling the strength and the near ending effort to survive,
or a coral rock trying not to disintegrate, while it knows, the more salt water that flows, the more porous it will become.

Why does the blind look at the sun?
How can you touch hate?
Taste love?
Smell apathy?

The petals of a rose out of bloom still give you a fascinating scent, just as that which cannot feel, will eventually rot.

Life means metamorphosis, close scrutiny and pain.
We can discuss this when architects become a thing of the past.

Poem written for Vincent Scully’s “The Natural and the Manmade” seminar, about Miami’s skyline.

By Ines Hegedus-Garcia
4th year architecture student, University of Miami (1991)
