Regina Sotomayor, Real Estate Advisor Regina's representation of sellers and buyers spans from first time home buyers to luxury property transactions and relocations. https://homescene.com

Regina’s unique style and flair for real estate spans from luxurious properties, to her own work in real estate investing and property development. Originally from Ecuador, Regina and her family moved to the South Florida area when she was 15 years old. It was at this tender age that her passion for real estate was born as she was mentored by one of Miami's top real estate brokers and molded into the agent she has now become. Prior to joining Coastal PGI-Christie's International Realty, her accomplishments include 3rd place in closed transactions for 2013 out of 182 agents, and she was consistently awarded Top 20 Income Producer month after month. Regina's expertise and success is entirely attributable to her professionalism and exceptional client service. She has a generous repeat clientele, both nationally and internationally based; perhaps the most notable endorsement of her service. Regina holds a BA in Computer Science from the Art Institute of Dallas. This and her business persuasive and marketing skills landed her a prestigious role working abroad in New Zealand's Economic Development Branch. She worked with some of the country's top Fortune 500 companies and assisted them in competing with global industry giants through innovation, design and brand development.

Rates went up. The cranes didn't stop.

Last week the Fed raised rates for the first time in about three years, and mortgage rates are now near 7%. On a $400K loan, that's about $180 more a month than a year ago. It's real money, but it doesn't make a good home a bad buy.

Here's what higher rates haven't done: knock prices down. There are 13% fewer homes for sale across Florida than a year ago, so prices are holding.

And Pinellas kept building while everyone watched the Fed. Clearwater poured the first concrete on The Bluffs, a 28-story tower overlooking Coachman Park. In St. Pete, the historic Manhattan Casino reopened after 56 years, and demand to build affordable homes nearby is outpacing the funding.

My take? Waiting for rates to drop isn't a plan. Pinellas is out of land, and a county that stops building only gets more expensive. If you're buying, buy the home and refinance later. Be a participant, not a spectator.

Curious what this means for your home? DM me your street and I'll run the real numbers for you. No pitch, no pressure.

Six units under contract in just six days. 🔥

Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower is already making an impression, and this early momentum says a lot about the interest in bringing this kind of design driven residential experience to downtown St. Pete.

With six more residences now under contract, the opportunity to get in during the pre construction stage is becoming more limited. The project is expected to move into its next phase this fall, making now a good time to take a closer look at what’s still available.

If you’ve been watching Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower, this might be your sign to stop watching and start exploring!

6 UNITS UNDER CONTRACT IN 6 DAYS 🔥 Setting the tone for the week! 🥂

So incredibly proud of my SERHANT. New Development Tampa Bay team—we just went six for six at the Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower Sales Gallery!

Bringing the first ever Roche Bobois-branded residential tower in the USA to downtown St. Pete is a massive game-changer, and the momentum is unreal.

But here is your Monday reality check: the construction fence is slated to go up in early October. That means the window to lock in the developer's exclusive pre-construction incentives is closing fast.

If you want to take advantage of these ground-floor pricing opportunities before the dirt moves, send me a DM or click the link in my bio to get started. Let’s make it a great week! 🌟

My dog is a human. She is totally in sync with me. She even knows I sellsell REAL ESTATE. And when I take her for walks, she helps me reach my talk to a stranger target by becoming the topic of conversation. 😂 who wouldn’t want to get to know Ladee!!

The art fence wasn’t the only thing making a statement that night...

At the Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower fence unveiling, there was a lot to see. With the local art, great company, and an evening celebrating what’s taking shape in St. Pete, there were plenty of reasons to dress for the occasion.

But now we have the most important question to settle…

Who was the most on theme for Pink Tie?

Take a look through the looks from the night and tell us who gets your vote. Drop your pick in the comments!

St. Pete is changing, and this is one of the places to watch. 👀
Another Roche Bobois residence is officially under contract!

This studio at Roche Bobois St. Pete Tower is bringing a new take on waterfront city living, combining contemporary design, elevated amenities, and a location that puts you right in the middle of everything downtown St. Pete has to offer.

The residences are designed with modern living in mind, while the surrounding area gives you easy access to restaurants, culture, entertainment, the waterfront, and the energy that makes St. Pete such a unique place to call home.

It’s the kind of property where the location is just as much a part of the experience as the residence itself.

Want to take a closer look at what’s coming to St. Pete? Let’s talk.
