Awards and Accomplishments:

Zahara Mossman RECS CLHMS, is a pioneer in the implementation and use of technology both in the Marketing and Real Estate arenas and industries. She is currently Appointed to the Board of Directors Women's Committee, City of Miami Beach, Florida, United States Government 2010. Her companies are all Pillar Members of the Chamber of Commerce. Zahara also created a revolution implementing technology to real estate agents and companies by being the first Realtor® in the world 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, Zahara has been able to sell real estate to clients throughout the world 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 world 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 the Director and Founder of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, 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, Associated Press, New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Inman News, Univision News and in the national Realtor® Magazine, the Florida Realtor® Magazine, Planet Realtor® online, and The Real Estate Cyberspace Society publication and countless more. She has also been recognized by NAR, receiving an award for having one of the "Top 22 ideas in Real Estate" for the year 2006.
