What Real Estate Slowdown? Local Real Estate Agents on Target for Record Year

PALM BEACH (May 16, 2011) – Now teaming up with a goal to surpass past sales records, Kevin Spina and Heidi Cole are determined to make their mark throughout the Palm Beaches. Spina, a record setting realtor for Keyes Real Estate in Palm Beach Gardens has just released his preliminary numbers for the first quarter of 2011. 

Recent reports show over 51 closing in the first quarter of 2011 for Spina, an astonishing amount in sales during what is known as the real estate slump of the century. Equally impressive are his 23 pending sales and 16 deals that were under contract in only 10 days. “These numbers reflect the hard work of not just me but the other Realtors on my team,” says Spina. “We are incredibly encouraged by these numbers and business just continues to get busier and busier as we move through the spring season.”

Kevin Spina is also now joining forces with highly regarded Palm Beach and West Palm Beach agent Heidi Cole of the firm Mirsky Cole Valore, also a division of The Keyes Company. Her firm, Mirsky Cole and Company was recently acquired by the Keyes Company along with Valore Real Estate, both Palm Beach-based firms. Heidi Cole is a well-recognized and established name in Palm Beach and is also known for dominating the historic markets of the West Palm Beach coastal areas of El Cid and SoSo (South of Southern). Cole is thrilled to be teaming up with Spina, recognizing him as one of the ‘powerhouse’ agents of the north county market. Together, the two have over $200,000 million in career sales and have individually grown successful businesses by utilizing their talent of market analysis, negotiating skills, marketing techniques, and business and personal integrity that cover all facets of real estate including single family, multi-family, commercial real estate.“I am looking forward to a successful partnership with Kevin Spina,” says Heidi Cole. “Kevin grew up and had business ventures in the West Palm Beach area and I currently live and have successfully sold real estate in the West Palm Beach and Palm Beach areas. We have similar working styles and attitudes. I am looking forward to producing the same numbers in the West Palm Beach and Palm Beach markets that he has achieved in the Northern part of the County. We are very excited about the prospect of great success in the West Palm Beach and Palm Beach marketplaces.”

The Keyes Company is a full-service real estate company opened on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami in 1926 by Kenneth Keyes. Since then, the company has become a legend in South Florida real estate and has grown to be one of the largest, most respected firms in the country. As an independently-owned family business, Keyes has served the residential and commercial real estate needs of South Florida families, neighborhoods and business communities for more than 85 years. Today, Keyes has more than 1,500 associates in 24 branch offices located throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and Volusia counties.

SUPPORTERS GET THEIR "WILD ON" IN SUPPORT OF PALM BEACH ZOO’S “DO AT THE ZOO” FUNDRAISER

WEST PALM BEACH (May 16, 2011) – Approximately 200 revelers got “their wild on” Friday, May 6th at the Palm Beach Zoo’s spring fundraiser, “Do at the Zoo.”

The evening, hosted by Mary Baker, Lourdes Fanjul, Susanna Hager, and Samantha Storkerson was planned perfectly to include cocktails, a moving feast, and dancing under the stars. Zoo board members Whitney Bylin and Thomas C. Quick served as Event Committee Chairs.

While mingling in the shadows of two 45’ tall Mayan pyramid replicas and under the steady gaze of jaguar and alligators, zoo guests savored delectable food items provided by some of the most outstanding restaurants in the local area. Culinary highlights included Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill, baby lamp chops from Outback Steakhouse, a sushi boat from Echo, hand carved prosciutto from Café Sapori, Korean shortrib tacos from būccan, polpette meatballs and rock shrimp ceviché from Nick and Johnnie’s & Cucina Dell Arte, and vanilla panna cotta from Carrabba’s. The Palm Beach Zoo’s Tropics Café provided more food for the guests who danced late into the evening with its signature slider and mini-hot dog bar.


Throughout the night, guests were treated to specialty tropical rum cocktails created by Bacardi USA specifically for the event.  The “Bacardi Zoo Rock” and the “Bacardi 8 Safari Sipper” were served by two world famous Bacardi Girls. Bacardi USA also donated several bartenders and product to stock all five of the full bars.


Zoo keepers accompanied by a selection of animals welcomed guests to the Mayan Plaza and treated anyone who wanted to see more to behind-the-scenes tours. On these tours, guests came face to face with nine-year-old black bear brothers, Lewis and Clarke as well as the Zoo’s four jaguars: Maya, her parents Nabalam and Muchacho, and her older sister, Izel.  Muchacho’s painting talents were highlighted when one of his original pieces of artwork was raffled off at the close of the evening.


Major sponsors of the event included Thomas C. Quick, Susanna & Louis Hager, Florida Crystals, Bill & Candy Hamm, Mark & Mary Freitas, Pepe & Lourdes Fanjul, Tim & Christie Gannon, Lucy Musso, plus the many restaurants and Bacardi USA who helped to make the event a terrific fundraiser.  Raffle items were generously donated by Valentino, House of Lavande, Lori Jayne Monogramming, Michael Kors – Worth Avenue, the Beauté Therapies, Palm Beach Grill, Trillion, and more. All proceeds from “Do at the Zoo” will help the zoo advance its mission to protect wildlife and wildlife habitat and to inspire others to value and conserve the natural world.


In addition to the success of the “Do at the Zoo"; Palm Beach Zoo Officials are happy to report that the tiger collection grew significantly in the wee hours of Thursday and Friday, May 12 and 13 with Berapi, a female Malayan tiger, giving birth to three healthy cubs. 


The zoo, which sits at 1301 Summit Blvd., in West Palm Beach, is planning a new tiger exhibit  in which a portion of the proceeds from the various zoo fundraisers goes towards.  The family of five is expected to live at the new exhibit for the next two or three years, when the cubs will be old enough to move to another zoo.  Berapi arrived in November as a potential love match for Rhimba, a long-time resident of the zoo.  Malayan tigers are named for their home on the Malayan Peninsula. They are among the smallest of the tiger species. Estimates of how many Malayan tigers live in the wild vary, but there may be as few as 500, according to experts.
