For Immediate Release
First Service Realty Announces
New Office Opening in Pinecrest
Miami, Fla. – June 16, 2005 – First
Service Realty, Inc. (FSR), a Florida-based, privately owned and operated
residential/commercial real estate company, today announced the opening
of its Pinecrest office, located at 12509 South Dixie Highway, as part
of the company’s 2004-05 expansion plan.
The existing facility is undergoing
extensive remodeling and will be equipped with all new high-tech equipment,
the company said. Each workstation will house high-speed Internet connections
- allowing the company's sales professionals to provide real estate services
in real time. FSR’s sales associates will be able to search the Multiple
Listing Service, download up-to-the-minute housing data and communicate
with their clients online - all from the convenience of their own desk.
It will accommodate 65 sales associates and support staff that can provide
unmatched real estate services to Pinecrest’s 19,844 residents.
“The Pinecrest/Palmetto Bay
area continues to experience growth and is now in a ripe season for the
re-selling of property. The opening of the Pinecrest branch is a strategic
move that will capitalize on our market share”, said Eduardo San Roman,
president and CEO.
Despite some industry analysts’ warnings
about over-exposed real estate bubbles, Pinecrest has experienced even
growth in pricing since the city’s founding in 1996. Additionally, the
Five-year Capital Improvement Program, currently being instituted by local
government, is forecasted to add additional value to the already highly
desired community.
"This area has a strong
sense of community, a wide range of housing styles and prices, and a highly
lauded school system," said Eduardo San Roman, president and CEO. "Pinecrest
and Palmetto Bay promises to see continued strong sales growth for both
new and existing homes."
As part of its expansion, FSR
opened its Doral office in 2004, with plans for the Palmetto Bay office
opening in 2006.
