DRUM REALTY IN THE NEWS

The Fort Lauderdale super-luxury market is rebounding, says Kelly Drum, partner in that city’s family-owned Drum Realty, in business since 1952.

"The market was a little flat, but it’s coming back with properties in the $4-million-to-$20- million range in our listings," he says.

Mr. Drum notes that property owners in the Fort Lauderdale luxury market are under little pressure to sell. "These are typically people who have an interest in simply putting their money someplace else," says Mr. Drum.

"Properties that might have attracted $15-million in 2006 and 2007 may only sell for $10- million today, so the challenge is getting the owners to list the property to reflect the reality of today's markets."

In June of 2010, Mr. Drum sold a property to a Toronto buyer for $7,640,000. “It was a spectacular property with water on three sides — like its own private island," he says. "The gentleman purchased it just for the land and tore down a 15,000-square-foot house to build a new 18,000- sq.-ft home."

LAS OLAS POINT LOT SOLD

With a listing price of $9,190,000, the Nurmi Estate was the first property sold by Drum Realty in January 2011. Overlooking peaceful Rio Barcelona from the banks of Nurmi Isle in Fort Lauderdale's famed and very exclusive Las Olas neighborhood, this property provides an amazing 300+ ft of dockage, enough for two large vessels. A large landscaped open space beside the residence creates a full-lot of privacy between the home and its direct neighbors. This lot was available for purchase separately, but was included in the final sale.

Commanding vistas, both up and down New River, are enjoyed throughout the property, with ample dockage for a megayacht present as well, making this the ideal residence for a yachtsman seeking direct access to the world-famous inland waterways of Fort Lauderdale and the Atlantic Ocean nearby.

POINT LOT SPECIALISTS

Drum Realty is unique in the world of Luxury Real Estate by having its offices located within a landmark marina which has been owned and operated by the family for over sixty years. The marina is situated on a prominent point of land strategically set at the apex of Fort Lauderdale’s yachting milieu.

In fact, Lauderdale Marina (est. 1948) was built on one of the most sought-after points of waterfront property in the entire South Florida region, set at the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway close to Port Everglades and at the eastern boundary of Rio Vista near Lauderdale Yacht Club, with world-famous Las Olas Isles to the north and exclusive Harbor Beach located directly across the waterway to the east.

From this prized vantage point, Drum Realty has established itself as the Realtor of choice for individuals buying and selling luxury waterfront residences throughout Fort Lauderdale’s choicest neighborhoods. Sizable yachting vessels are found moored at the docks stretching out graciously behind the point lot estates built here.

Of special note is that a rare new collection of prestigious point lot residences is presently being offered by Drum Realty for consideration. Furthermore, the recent sale of several multi-million-dollar point lot listings has solidified Drum’s reputation in this unique market for luxury waterfront homes of the highest caliber.

Tours of some of these properties can be scheduled after determination of a legitimate interest over the telephone. A limited-edition collectible hardcover book featuring the homes in the collection is also available for purchase to qualified individuals. Please inquire.
