The State of South Florida: Overheard

“Five of my close friends bought in Miami in the last 12 months.”

—Pamela Liebman, CEO of Corcoran

“Today, in Miami Beach, people don’t care if a house is next to a bridge or if airplanes are flying over.”

—Dina Goldentayer, executive director of sales at Douglas Elliman in Miami Beach

“I’d say 50 percent of the people I know with a net worth over $10 million have contacted me in the last ten months asking for information about Florida schools and the lifestyle.”

—Scott Galloway, author, entrepreneur and business professor at NYU Stern School of Business

“There is no going back. We may be in a transition phase at the moment, but in 10 years everyone is going to be laughing at us for asking why we were even having debates about believing in [bitcoin].”

— Pouyan Esmaeil Zadeh, professor at Florida International University’s Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics
