International Buyers Resuscitate South Florida Luxury Real Estate Market with Record-Breaking, Multi-Million Dollar Homes, says Senada Adzem, Top Ranking Agent at Douglas Elliman

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida attracts the highest number of international home buyers in the country, says a recent report in NAR's Profile of International Home Buying Activity, 2012.  International buyers spent $10.7 billion in Florida for the 12 months, accounting for 26% of all international home sales in the U.S.

Senada Adzem, top ranking agent and Director of Douglas Elliman in Florida, (www.senadaadzem.com) credits her record-breaking success to this growing market segment. Her business, fueled by international sellers and buyers of multi-million dollar properties in Palm Beach and Miami Dade counties, has grown exponentially within the past three years and her recent sales and listings top $100 million.  Among Ms. Adzem's latest transactions include:

• $24,600,000 sale of St Regis Bal Harbour residences to a Russian buyer;
• $10,400,000 sale of oceanfront penthouse in Boca Raton to a Belgian buyer;
• $6,350,000 exclusive listing of luxury condominium in Boca Raton by a seller from the Netherlands;
• $5,400,000 sale of Intracoastal estate in Delray Beach to a Canadian buyer;
• $4,450,000 exclusive listing of a waterfront estate in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club by a Swiss seller;
• And others

According to St Regis Bal Harbour developer Bruce Weiner, "Senada Adzem has an established reputation for dealing with an international 'carriage-trade' clientele. While completing the $24.6 Million record-setting transaction at St Regis to a Russian client, Senada handled all aspects with combined grace, a positive attitude and undying persistence, which is uniquely uncommon."

Says an undisclosed Belgian buyer, "Coming from Western Europe, we trusted Senada to skillfully handle what was to become a $10.4 million transaction and our first home purchase in the United States. We are thrilled with our new oceanfront penthouse in Boca Raton."

"Having grown up in Europe, I have a unique understanding of the cultural and business particulars relating to international clients," says Ms. Adzem. "My experience in U.S. luxury real estate, coupled with an inherent understanding of the needs of wealthy foreign clients, has made these business transactions rewarding and successful for all parties," she adds.

Ms. Adzem's professional success has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal, Haute Living and the Real Deal. Formerly the Vice President of Trump International, Senada was the creative force behind marketing Donald J. Trump's condominium developments. Since 2006, Senada's accomplishments include marketing and selling $200 million of real estate inventory in South Florida.
