Staying ahead of home market means going overseas

David Omler is helping to incite a British invasion of a profitable kind.

The owner of Paradise Properties in Satellite Beach, Omler is targeting foreign buyers — particularly sunshine-hungry, palm-starved Brits — for his portfolio of high-end Brevard County properties.

“The market is changing fast, and you have to stay ahead of the market,” Omler said. “With the prices of real estate in Brevard County, you have to be able to go globally to market properties.”

Omler works with Christie’s Great Estates, Mayfair International and Residence International to achieve international exposure for luxury listings, such as his $1,999,000 2007 Parade of Homes winner on Indian River Drive in Cocoa and the $3 million-plus properties he is handling at boat access-only Grant Island in South Brevard.
