Early reports are optimistic about the state of South Florida real estate after Hurricane Irma. Though the bulk of the damage was trees and downed power lines, new construction, condominiums, and luxury homes, did not see much in the way of property loss or destruction.  While it is sad to see Miami with all its downed trees, and beautiful foliage and landscaping down, all of us know now what really matters and that Florida, particularly Miami always rebuilds. 

Many buyers and sellers who were under contract before the storm held their breath to see what would happen. And luckily, not much did. 

Those sellers that did have property damage need to consult with an attorney to see whether they are responsible for correcting the issues, making an insurance claim or necessary repairs, or advising the buyer to take the property “As Is”.

Hurricane Irma also affected insurance binders, and did not permit those that were ready to close the opportunity to close, since insurance could not be bound before or after the storm.  Hopefully things will get back to normal soon, after Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Maria, and Miami will once again partake in the flourishing real estate market that it has always been.
