Car smashes into Hair Salon

Recently, an elderly woman hit the accelerator instead of the brake. Her car plowed through iSalon’s glass window that faces toward the side street of the parking lot. Apparently, the driver finished a meal at Moe’s Bagels and then when leaving hit the wrong pedal. It makes you wonder, what’s in those bagels?

Florida Foreclosure Backlog - Aventura Foreclosures

It’s no secret the real estate market is full of foreclosures and properties on short sale. This has severely backed up the court system – it’s just inundated with foreclosure cases. This past Sunday, the New York Times ran the story “Florida’s High-Speed Answer to a Foreclosure Mess,” it was the front-page of the business section. It’s not just a hot topic in Florida, but a matter that has plagued our entire country.

Foreclosed properties present opportunities to buyers hunting for great deals; however, the legal system is struggling to process the work. The New York Times article gives readers a real sense of the amount of workload being dealt with in Florida…

“Florida law requires that banks argue their cases before a judge if they want to recover property from borrowers in default, and 471,000 such cases were pending in Florida at the end of July, according to the Florida State Courts administration.”

It’s unfortunate that so many individuals are going through a foreclosure process. At the same time this is a tough situation for those borrowers, this is clearly a difficult case management issue for the court system. This creates another glaring matter, is each foreclosure case on the docket being handled justly with care and diligence for each party involved? It’s vital that the backlog does not cloud the judgement in the legal system.

We wrote about this subject on our blog, which continues with this quote from the Miami New Times…

“Despite a long history of major hurricanes striking southern portions of Florida, metropolitan Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, and the nearby city of Miami along with many of its suburbs in Miami-Dade County, have gone for decades without experiencing the direct impacts from a very damaging hurricane. At the same time, the population has soared and building has boomed in an area where essentially every person and structure resides within 20 miles of the coastline.”

Wade-Lebron-Bosh, The Three Kings

Eric Miller, fantasy football expert, commented on the LeBron James hysteria...

The Miami Herald has alluded to the Wade-Lebron-Bosh triumvirate (a real word) as “The Three Kings” and “Three for the Show”. I simply equate it with unstoppable, winning basketball served on a daily basis, en route to multiple world championships; or alternatively, our very own Triumph-Virate.



Actually, the Herald’s own Greg Cote calls it right on when declaring on July 9th that as of now “Miami is the capital of basketball” and “South Florida is the epicenter of American sports”. And still, the catchy titles keep coming: “Jackpot”, “Royal Court”, “The New Kingdom”, “The Three Kings”, “The Big Three”, “The Triple Play” (the latter, courtesy of Heat President Pat Riley and Coach Erik Spoelstra), and countless others.

Banks on every corner in Aventura

The international and wealthy community of Aventura, FL. is likely what caused banks to flock to the 33180 zip code. The average individual without complex financial needs a convenient deposit and withdrawal system. Those individuals or businesses requiring complex financial services, trust accounts, business credits, international specialists, investment management, family offices, and other areas of wealth and business management, are likely more critical and demanding when it comes to their banking institutions.

Banks like most businesses, compete for business and entered the Aventura community in effort to earn the banking business of its residents. Many banks were started as trust companies managing the wealth of one family or a family business starts a bank and lends their wealth. This attracts those in their sphere of influence to deposit and invest with the bank.
