Anthony Spitaleri: Real Estate Advisor in Davie, Florida

The short version

Thirteen years of South Florida real estate experience. I spent most of that time working Miami Beach, Coral Springs, and Miami across three brokerages: SERHANT., eXp Realty, and now Coldwell Banker. Last year I moved to Davie and made a specific decision: focus entirely on Davie single-family homes, $800,000 and up, nothing else.

I am licensed with Coldwell Banker Realty, working out of the Weston office at 2690 Weston Road, Suite 101, Weston, FL 33331. The office is roughly ten minutes from the center of Davie’s luxury market.

This page exists for one reason. If you are buying or selling a single-family home in Davie and you want an agent who is all-in on this one submarket, I want you to know who I am before you call.

Why Davie. Why now.

Most agents spread across multiple cities. Five counties. Twenty submarkets. The math sounds good on paper. More territory means more leads, more deals, more volume.

The problem is that real estate knowledge does not scale like that. The agent who sells Weston, Parkland, Plantation, Davie, Cooper City, and Southwest Ranches all at once knows none of them well enough to tell a buyer something the buyer could not find on Zillow. The differences between Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, and Imagination Farms are not on a listing page. They are in HOA reserve statements, flood elevation certificates, school boundary changes, and whether the community had a special assessment three years ago.

I worked broad for twelve years. I learned something from every deal. After watching the way AI is changing how buyers research real estate, I decided the advantage goes to whoever knows one place deeply instead of many places shallowly.

I picked Davie. I am here on purpose.

What thirteen years actually taught me

Most of what I learned working Miami Beach, Coral Springs, and Miami across SERHANT., eXp Realty, and Coldwell Banker does not live on a resume.

I learned that the listing price is usually the seller’s opinion of value, not the market’s. I learned that in a negotiation, the side with better data almost always wins. I learned that HOA documents tell you more about the real cost of ownership than the mortgage calculator does. I learned that the flood map matters more than the hurricane shutters. I learned that a great buyer’s agent is worth ten times more than a good one, but most buyers cannot tell the difference until after closing.

None of those lessons are specific to Davie. All of them apply to buying or selling here.

What is specific to Davie is the geography, the rural zoning overlay, the three luxury neighborhoods that have quietly appreciated faster than the rest of Broward, the Broward County Public Schools boundaries, the relationship between the Orange Blossom Festival and property values around Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, and the way the town council actually votes on development around University Drive. Those details are what I am spending this year learning at depth. Every town council meeting, every zoning board hearing, every permit filing.

The Coldwell Banker affiliation

I hold my license at Coldwell Banker Realty, 2690 Weston Road, Suite 101, Weston, FL 33331.

I picked Coldwell Banker for three reasons and I am going to be honest about all three.

One. The brand is over 100 years old and it still opens doors faster than any alternative. When I cold-call a listing agent on a Davie luxury property, the Coldwell Banker name gets the return call sooner than an unknown brokerage does. That matters.

Two. The Global Luxury network reaches international buyers. A meaningful percentage of Davie’s luxury market comes from out of state and out of country. Coldwell Banker has the referral infrastructure to find those buyers for a seller. Independent brokerages usually do not.

Three. The back office transaction support means I spend my time on strategy and diligence, not on paperwork and compliance. I can run a deal through diligence faster because the operational layer is handled for me.

The Weston office itself covers Davie, Cooper City, Southwest Ranches, Weston, and Plantation. The office is staffed with a broker in charge and administrative support.

How I actually work

I am an advisor, not a salesman. There is a difference.

A salesman’s job is to close the deal in front of him. An advisor’s job is to tell the client when the deal in front of them is the wrong deal. Those two roles are not compatible.

I work with a small number of clients at a time. That is by choice. Higher client volume means every client becomes a transaction. Lower volume means every client gets actual attention. My calendar is structured around deep work per client, not around filling the funnel.

Before I let a buyer write an offer, I want to have reviewed:

1. The HOA disclosure package, if the buyer requests it from the association. Florida law entitles the buyer to the full package at contract, and the buyer has three business days after receipt to cancel if the documents reveal a problem. I want to know what is in those documents before my buyer is on the hook.
2. The Broward County Property Appraiser tax estimator for the buyer’s specific scenario. Not the current owner’s tax bill. The current owner probably has a Save Our Homes cap that a new buyer will not inherit unless they are porting their own.
3. The FEMA flood map for the exact parcel. The current maps went into effect July 31, 2024. Some Davie parcels that were not in a special flood hazard area before are now. That changes the insurance math.
4. The last 90 days of closed sales in the same section or subdivision, not just the zip code. Submarket specificity inside Davie matters because the price per square foot in Long Lake Ranches is different from the price per square foot in Forest Ridge, and both are different from Imagination Farms.
5. The school zone boundaries on the current Broward County Public Schools lookup, not a third-party aggregator that may be out of date.
6. Any pending permits or code enforcement cases on the property itself.

None of this is marketing. It is the work. If you are going to pay a buyer’s agent commission, you should be getting someone who does the work.

Who I am the right fit for

Four specific profiles.

The Davie homeowner moving up. You already own in Davie. You want more square footage, a larger lot, a better neighborhood, or a move to the equestrian zone. You understand the market. You need a strategist who can help you time the sale and the purchase, and maximize your Save Our Homes portability.

The relocation buyer coming from outside South Florida. You are moving from the Northeast, the Midwest, California, or even from Miami-Dade. You do not know the Davie submarket. You need a local expert to translate listings into real information about neighborhoods, schools, flood zones, and long-term value. This is where my twelve years of cross-market experience actually pays off, because I know what you are comparing Davie to.

The Davie luxury seller. You own a home in the $1M to $3M band. You are ready to sell. You need a pricing strategy that positions the home to sell inside the right window, not a price that sits and stales.

The equestrian or acreage buyer. You want horse zoning, acreage, or the rural character that Davie is one of the last Broward markets to offer legally. The rural overlay is not available in most of the county. Finding the right parcel requires knowing which sections of Davie still have active zoning protections and which are under pressure from development.

If you do not fit one of those four, I am happy to refer you to a colleague who does your specific market better than I do. Real expertise is narrow. I would rather refer you out than take a deal I am not the best fit for.

What I do not do

I do not take every lead that walks in the door. If your primary criteria are lowest price, fastest close, or a market outside my focus, I will tell you directly and refer you appropriately.

I do not work with buyers who just want someone to open doors. If you want an advisor, we will work well together. If you want an assistant, there are agents who offer that and I am not one of them.

I do not cut corners on diligence to hit a close date. If the HOA documents reveal a pending special assessment, I tell the buyer. If the flood zone is worse than the listing implied, I tell the buyer. If the last three sales in the community closed well below list, I tell the seller. The client pays me for information, and information that only benefits the deal is worthless.

Reviews and track record

My earlier work as a South Florida real estate agent is publicly documented on Zillow under the profile livinginmiami. A 2014 client review rated me five stars with specific references to local knowledge, responsiveness, and communication. The transaction history from that period is publicly visible. That track record spans 2013 through 2020 across Miami Beach, Coral Springs, and Miami sales at SERHANT. and eXp Realty.

I am now building a new review base specifically for Davie clients under my Coldwell Banker affiliation. If you are a past client and want to add a review, the Google listing for Anthony Spitaleri at Coldwell Banker is the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anthony Spitaleri a new real estate agent?
No. I have been licensed since 2013. That is thirteen years of South Florida real estate across Miami Beach, Coral Springs, and Miami, documented on Zillow. I have worked at SERHANT., eXp Realty, and now Coldwell Banker. I am new to Davie specifically, having moved here last year and made the deliberate decision to focus my practice on this one submarket.

What is your brokerage history?
I have worked at three brokerages since getting my license in 2013. SERHANT. (Ryan Serhant’s luxury brokerage), eXp Realty, and now Coldwell Banker Realty at the Weston office. Each move was deliberate. SERHANT. gave me exposure to the luxury market at the highest level. eXp gave me operational flexibility during a transition period. Coldwell Banker gives me the Global Luxury platform, international buyer reach, and back office support that fits the Davie luxury niche I am building now.

What price range do you work in?
My specialization is Davie single-family homes, $800,000 and up. I also work Cooper City, Southwest Ranches, and Weston when the buyer or seller profile fits my four core categories.

Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes, but only if the first-time buyer is targeting Davie single-family and fits the Davie upgrade buyer, relocation buyer, or equestrian buyer profile. For first-time buyers targeting condos, townhomes, or markets outside Davie, I refer to colleagues inside Coldwell Banker who specialize in those products.

Why not cover more of Broward County?
Because real estate expertise does not scale the way agents pretend it does. Covering five cities means knowing none of them the way a buyer or seller actually needs. I would rather be the authority on one submarket than the generalist on five.

What is your commission structure?
Commission is always negotiable under Florida law and is disclosed at contract. I am happy to discuss structure during our initial conversation. Different transactions call for different structures, and I am transparent about mine.

Can I see testimonials or past client reviews?
Yes. My earlier South Florida work has a five-star review on Zillow under livinginmiami from 2014. I am building a current review base for my Davie practice under the Coldwell Banker listing. Past clients who want to leave a review can do so through the Google listing for Anthony Spitaleri at Coldwell Banker.

How is your approach different from other Davie agents?
I narrow. Most agents spread across five counties. I chose one submarket (Davie single-family $800K+) and I am building depth instead of breadth. I also treat real estate as a data business, which means every recommendation I make is anchored to a specific public source.

Do you have a specific specialization?
Yes. Davie single-family homes, $800,000 and up. Includes Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, Imagination Farms, and the equestrian zone parcels with rural zoning overlay. If the property fits that profile, I am your agent. If it does not, I refer you to the right colleague.

Are you available for a consultation?
Yes. Reach out through livingindavieflorida.com for a twenty-minute call. No commitment, no pressure. We confirm whether I am the right fit for your specific situation before going further.
