What makes a home sell quickly in today's luxury market? According to veteran realtor Lenny Felberbaum, it's not just location or square footage—it's thoughtful, cohesive interior design.
As a fourth-generation realtor and Elite Private Office Advisor with Engel & Volkers, Lenny brings decades of experience to this fascinating conversation about the critical intersection of design and real estate value. Through compelling stories and market insights, he reveals how design choices can dramatically affect a property's selling potential, including the remarkable tale of a 1979 home where the owners' significant design investment paid dividends four decades later.
We dive deep into the current design landscape of South Florida's luxury market, exploring the prevalence of ultra-modern architecture and whether these contemporary styles will stand the test of time. Lenny offers candid perspectives on staging versus true interior design, explaining how temporary furniture arrangements differ from creating lasting, livable spaces that reflect a homeowner's authentic lifestyle.

From the influx of northern buyers seeking Florida sunshine to community-building initiatives supporting local businesses, Lenny shares insights on how our collective reset might reshape housing preferences and community values for years to come.
