For Scott Shuffield, a Luxury Collection specialist and a member of the BHHS EWM Realty’s Chairman’s Club, real estate is more than a transaction. It represents a life-changing experience and significant financial investment. With fluency in Spanish, a focus on relationship building, and an appreciation for his home state, Shuffield’s expert knowledge of local nuances is in a league of its own.
THE NUTSHELL
“I was born and raised in Miami and have always loved the City Beautiful. To now be living and raising our children here is a dream. From the idyllic, family-friendly neighborhoods to the bevy of restaurants, shopping, parks, and recreational venues, every imaginable amenity and convenience is well within reach. In a matter of minutes, we can walk to a nice dinner on Miracle Mile, or I can ride my bike to take my daughter to preschool. It’s all here.”
THE 411
“Historically, Coral Gables has been a more stable investment. Its central location, access to the Metrorail, and solid city finances have made it a compelling opportunity for prospective homebuyers. As buyers relocate to South Florida, the Gables is getting even more recognition as a must-see destination.”
THE CAN’T MISS
“We love taking long walks under the canopy of tree-lined streets with our children. And during the winter months, you can’t miss the Saturday Farmers Market in front of the City Hall.”
THE FOODIE FACTS
“Coral Gables is a fine-dining haven, and new and buzzy restaurants continue to open. Some of my favorites are Malakor Thai Isaan, MesaMar, Orno, and Café Abracci. From the tried-and-true icons to the new-and-noteworthy eateries, there’s much to enjoy.”
THE HOT SPOT
“I love the Biltmore Hotel. Steeped in history, it’s a gem with so much to offer – from golf, tennis, and spa amenities to meeting and event spaces. A day at the pool feels like you’ve really gotten away from it all.”
THE EXTRA
“Coral Gables has great public services – the police and fire departments, for example, the trolley, and beyond. The city also has a super parks system. I’ve always appreciated that the Gables is committed to its green spaces.”
