Last weekend, in spite of some rainy weather, over 12,000 locals and visitors enjoyed equestrian sports on the shores of the Atlantic when the eighth annual Miami Beach Polo World Cup set up between luxe properties The Setai and The W just off of Collins Avenue.

The competition, featuring both men and women players, included top ranked performer Rico Mansur from Brazil, as well as other polo masters from as far away as Russia, Switzerland and Malaysia.

Horsepower wasn’t just on four legs, but in Maserati – the luxury car brand was the title sponsor for the first time this year. On the stretch of beach, thoroughbred horses and polo players competed, while spectators enjoyed CÎROC vodka cocktails under well-appointed tents.

Yacht lovers enjoyed the scene by pulling up anchor on the beach nearby in the turquoise blue waters. Residents of The W – where ONE | Sotheby’s holds exclusive listings in condominiums – enjoyed the view from their balconies above the surf.

The event is the world’s largest and most prestigious beach polo competition in the world, bringing the equestrian luxury lifestyle to the shores of Miami Beach each year.

In the last few years Miami’s art scene has become one of the most recognized in the world. With the annual buzz of Art Basel and hip new galleries opening in up and coming neighborhoods like Wynwood, it’s no surprise that international visitors are flocking to our city to experience it up close. From Coral Gables to the Design District- art can be admired all over town.

In Miami Beach, the W South Beach Residences houses an art collection of masterpieces by legends such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst and Richard Prince among others. Currently on display is an art installation by Tom Sachs named “Bronze Collection”̶ a series of sculptures of the Sanrio characters, ‘Hello Kitty’, ‘My Melody’ and ‘Miffy’ at the entrance of the hotel that welcome visitors with a playful vibe. The W’s ultra-luxe ambiance and avant-garde collection attracts a high-end clientele year round.

Back on the mainland the area of Wynwood is lined with contemporary art galleries with an edge. Throughout the neighborhood colorful murals are splashed on walls that are a hybrid of modern and cultural art mixed with graffiti and other styles. The influence of artist Shepard Fairey transcends from the streets walls all the way to the interior of the cool hangout Wynwood Kitchen and Bar, where patrons can indulge in cocktails named after their favorite local artists while sitting amongst their work. Wynwood also hosts the popular “Second Saturday Art Walk” where the galleries are open to the public. Here’s a great collection of photos of the Wynwood Walls http://www.yellowman.com/wynwood/murals.html.

The real estate community on Twitter has been rapidly growing for the past year. Industry insiders are using the social media network to make connections that benefit their business and also stay updated on news, market trends and other relevant information. The South Florida Real Estate Twitter community is one of the most active in the country- they created the #MiamiRealEChat, which takes place on a weekly basis and is a platform to discuss real estate topics ranging from neighborhood lifestyles, technology, local politics and more. The #MiamiRealEChat has spread virally and has even caught the attention of journalists, which have highlighted it in articles for The Miami Herald, the South Florida Business Journal and even The Los Angeles Times.

Seeing the success of the #MiamiRealEChat, we would like to introduce the #OpenHouse hashtag as another tool for realtors to optimize their exposure on Twitter. By using the #OpenHouse hashtag followed by the city (example: #OpenHouse #MiamiBeach or #OpenHouse #LongIsland) local house hunters will be able to track your open house, find more information and visit the listings. The #OpenHouse hashtag will complement email and print advertisements and help highlight each cities events.

We are encouraging realtors to start using the #OpenHouse hashtag and help spread it virally across the country. By starting in the most localized form, this simple social media technique has the potential to make great strides in the industry and create a buzz to make people confident in investing once again.

Make sure to use the #OPENHOUSE #CITY Hashtag at your next Open House event.
