Zahara Mossman™ RECS CLHMS (Real Estate Cyberspace Specialist and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) owner and Managing Member of Zahara Properties, LLC and Podcast Realty™ were founded in 2004 and are located on sunny Miami Beach, Florida. Zahara Properties™ is a division of Beachfront Realty, Inc. Zahara Mossman is a Pioneer in the Technology and Real Estate Industries; she is the first person in the world to create podcasts in business. Zahara Properties™LLC, specializes in Luxury Residential and Commercial Real Estate internationally and provides licensed and certified services throughout beautiful South Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean. With offices in the USA and now in Costa Rica, Zahara Properties, S.A.

The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing writer Kris Drain interviews Zahara and writes:

Zahara is a pioneer in the real estate industry. Zahara also created a revolution in real estate technology by being the first Realtor® to advertise her listings via “podcasting”. For those unfamiliar with the term, a podcast is an audio broadcast that can be downloaded to any computer or digital music player, including the iPod, by reading her listings over the phone to an automated robot program and uploading them to her Web logs. Subscribers are notified each time a new property is listed. These listings can also be heard and downloaded directly on her web pages. By offering these audio tours along with digital photographs to her clients, Mossman has been able to sell real estate to clients throughout the world (she currently has several listings in Costa Rica) without ever showing them the actual property. Since obtaining her license, she has worked non-stop with new business coming in from builders, developers, buyers and sellers from around the nation as a result of her "podcasting".

There are multiple reasons for Zahara's success. A 20+ year history of volunteer fundraising kept her in touch with an elite circle of affluent residents who owned expensive homes the Miami Beach and South Florida areas, and all over the world where she has lived and traveled to. Realizing that she had been trusted with their money for fundraising events, she started to think about working with these same clients and personal friends in some capacity to start her own business. Zahara pondered selling private jets or luxury cars. Recognizing that neither was a field she knew anything about, she turned to real estate. She has never looked back!

Although she was already using "podcasting" since it began, Zahara felt that Laurie Moore-Moore validated her efforts to set herself apart from other agents in her market. She also learned to understand what clients wanted when buying or selling a luxury home because as she puts it, "there is no fooling these kinds of people, they will know immediately if you don't know what you are talking about". Mossman credits Moore-Moore with a large part of her success. She describes her as "very human and very real" and says she has been amazed by the personal attention and support she receives from Laurie and The Institute. "How many other Founders and/or Presidents take the time to personally respond to an e-mail from one of their members?" asks Mossman. "I am very proud to be a member of this organization".

The momentum continues to build in Zahara Mossman's career. She has been featured in the South Florida Business Journal and will be featured in the coming months in the national Realtor® Magazine, the Florida Realtor® Magazine, Planet Realtor® online, and The Real Estate Cyberspace Society publication. She has also been recognized by NAR, receiving an award for having one of the "Top 22 ideas in Real Estate" for the year 2005.

Dear Zahara,

I would like to thank you very much for the professional manner in which you helped Judi and I find, negotiate and secure our dream apartment in Miami Beach. Without your help, and especially going the extra mile for us, I am sure that we would not have been successful in our purchase.

I have given your cards and name to my friends who I am certain will be contacting you for their Miami apartments in the near future.

Once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and if I can be of any further help to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Alvin Segal

Dear Zahara,

I commend you for your excellent work and professionalism. The sale of my property
has occurred in record time. Within 7 days we had 2 signed offers, including one for full
price for the sale of one of my investment properties. At the same time you were able to
assist me in the purchase of yet another property -below market price and for that I can’t
thank you enough. I knew you were the best company to go with and now I am delighted
that I made the right choice.

Kudos to you and your Podcast Realty.com creation!! Between your continued philanthropy by creating Podcast Realty along with Zahara Properties combined with your incredible
expertise in the Internet sales and marketing of property, both deserve yet even more awards.

I highly recommend both buyers and Realtors® to advertise on your site. It seems to be the number one way to buy and sell properties on the net.

Glad to have personally met someone so on the cutting edge of technology. www.ZaharaProperties.com and www.podcastrealty.com are the the way to go!

Keep up the excellent work and thank you for sharing your knowledge and good energy
with me.

I look forward to our next deal. See you at the closings!

Sincerely,

Jair

Client Testimonial

Finding a realtor whom I could trust with the first time rental of my Miami Beach apartment was going to be a real endeavor, I thought. I checked out a few websites and came across Zahara Properties . This well designed and personalized website of Zahara Mossman led me to email her. Within days , this hands on realtor had my apartment photographed and listed on the web.

Being bilingual and well known , she had the apartment rented within a week. Since I am working on location in South America, Zahara takes care of everything. She is a realtor who really works for her clients.
