 HIGH-RISE LIVING

REAL ESTATE
Some people just prefer living high in the sky where the
air is clear, the bustle abates and the views go on for miles.
Penthouses aren’t bad either, of course.
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

at Acqualina, Residences by Casa Armani, and six (yes six) Trump

town, the covered bridges, antique malls and seasonal fall colors
are textbook Vermont.

Telluride, Colorado
It doesn’t get more classically Victorian and architecturally jaw-
dropping than this Colorado mining town nestled into the 1,000-
foot walls of the San Juan Mountains—where world-class skiing,
climbing, fishing, biking and hiking abound.

RETIRING EARLY
Say goodbye to bingo and buffet days. If you’re thinking
about retiring early but don’t want to give up the joys of
middle age, these three spots are for you.
Vero Beach, Florida

understated affluence, pristine beaches, cultured lifestyle and age
diversity make it one of Florida’s newest best places to retire.

platforms like VRBO? People renting luxury properties expect
immediate service. Unless you want to be on call 24/7, you need
an experienced team to manage your property. When you partner

platforms like VRBO charge owners 8–10% of every transaction, and
no management services are provided.

 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
PEACE OF MIND | VACATION RENTALS
Benefits of renting with a management company

Where are most of your vacation rentals located? We have rentals

across Southeast Florida—from Deerfield Beach to Aventura. Most
properties are on the water, ocean or within a 5-minute walk of the
beach. We’re also partnered with a great company that offers other
rental properties operating in Miami, Aspen and Costa Rica.
What makes Fort Lauderdale a great place to rent a luxury
vacation home? Fort Lauderdale is a destination city with endless
activities, world class dining, shopping and pristine white sand
beaches. It is known as the Venice of America among boaters. From
downtown Fort Lauderdale, you are centrally located between
Miami and Palm Beach, which means you can enjoy everything
those cities have to offer as well.
What size vacation rentals are available? We have a range of four-
to seven-bedroom homes which can sleep up to 16 people. We
constantly add new properties and suggest checking our website
for up-to-date information.
What are the benefits of using your company services vs. an
online platform like VRBO? Peace of mind of knowing there is a
local management team to assist selecting the best home for your
needs, and to assist you with booking any additional services to
make your time on vacation a 10-plus! VRBO and similar websites
are listing engines that are a great place to view rental options,
however, they won’t assist in booking concierge services and don't
have an experienced team vested in what you need. When booking
directly with us, will save you approximately 8-10% in fees that are
charged by online booking platforms.

GET TO KNOW DEBBIE

What inspired you to become a Realtor? At age 10, I watched
my dad methodically invest in rental properties and become the
‘millionaire next door.’ Being exposed to the incredible benefits
of real estate ownership was an up-close lesson to save and later
invest in real estate.
What distinguishes your approach from other real estate
agents? As a numbers-driven Realtor, I am quickly able to evaluate
properties and assist clients in making fact-based, nonemotional
decisions. I actively listen to understand my clients’ needs, while
equally paying attention to what they are not saying. I regularly
communicate throughout the relationship to ensure I create
realistic expectations in order to create the best outcome.
What’s the most expensive property you’ve sold? In 2019, I closed
a dirt lot (no house) with 150 feet of ocean front in Lauderdale Beach
for $18.8 million. I represented the seller and was incredibly excited
to have negotiated a sales price, giving the owner close to a triple
digit ROR annualized over three years.
When did you start your vacation rental program and property
management business? Getting into both businesses was
accidental. The real estate investor I consulted for had three empty
Fort Lauderdale Beach
properties on the beach. In 2000, I proposed that I decorate,
furnish and rent them as vacation properties. After four months
of supervising a construction crew, I started marketing and taking
reservations. The result was an extremely profitable venture. Whether you’re interested in buying, selling, investing or renting,

 Cengiz Bayrili
Giovanna Guzman What You Should Know About
The Miami Real Estate Market
Should I buy or sell right now? Can you help with either?
“The Time is Now” to sell and buy. We are currently in a sellers
market, which means the seller can get the most value out of their
property. The market is currently hot which means that inventory
is at an all time low. Of course we can help you buy or sell - we are
“the property professionals”!

Why is South Florida so hot right now? Is the trend going to last?
With new projects coming to South Florida, investors and buyers
are interested in a change of pace and scenery. The amazing
weather is also a plus! If this trend goes on, we can definitely see a
continued rise in the market.

What neighborhoods are the hottest right now?

There are three neighborhoods that have attracted a majority of
the attention from the investor and buyer. they are Coral Gables,
Brickell, and Downtown Miami.

Tips you should know as it pertains to buying.

Find a great agent (You will find many with us at IRG!), have an
open mind when looking for properties as there is a low inventory,
know where your budget stands and take your time because your
forever home is out there.

Tips you should know as it pertains to selling.

Evaluate every offer carefully, any offer is a good offer because
your property is getting a response. Be available for showings. It is
important that the property is seen by the most people as possible.

If You Are Looking To Buy Or Sell, Contact: 305.507.5546

“It is only when you treat clients like family that they
become part of your ‘family of clients’. For clients of
IRG, that makes all of the difference in the world.”

SMART Homes
REQUIRE SMART PLANNING &
EXPERT COLLABORATION
Avoid wasting dollars and headaches in the quest to
make your home “smart”. With 25 years of experience
and over 2,500 completed projects, providing world-class
technology design and installation in high-end residential
and marine settings for clients around the world, our
team of experts can handle everything from A/V and
automation to engineering and consultations and more!

Stage at which an AV Integrator should be hired.

Whether building a home or converting an existing one into
a smart one, being involved at the beginning of the process
allows the design and wiring to be done cohesively and
accurately which will ultimately save clients time and money.

Benefits of planning at the beginning stage.

Home automation experts can work in collaboration with
a design and build team of architects, general contractors
and designers to develop the ultimate plan. With early
planning for new projects, the wiring can be installed before
the walls go up, which will keep the cords from showing.

Benefits of collaboration with a design and build team.

The beauty behind collaboration is separate expert entities
developing separate visions for a space and blending
them cohesively into one. Mirror televisions that disappear
and Ketra-caliber lighting systems are some examples of
collaborative magic in design, function and form.

Benefits of consulting with AV Integrators when

designing Outdoor Living Spaces. Sound can get lost in
large outdoor spaces if speakers are not placed throughout
the yard correctly. Consulting with a professional will ensure
that you can create the optimum sound. Additionally, they
will be able to collaborate with landscape architects or
general contractors, if needed.

Recommendations for adding basic technology features.

Adding motorized shades, climate control, and smart
lighting can elevate your lifestyle of living. We will ensure
all of these features can be controlled by a simple click of a
button while at home or away traveling using smart devices.

Audio One’s process. One of our experts will spend time

learning our clients’ needs, ideas, expectations, and non-
negotiables for the project. An initial walk through of
the residence is required to collect data used to develop
a proper plan. These two steps will allow us to deliver a
concise proposal that will exceed expectations.

Why choose Audio One? Aside from our unwavering
