This week’s Ask Mike breaks down the most common ways people hold title in Florida, including sole ownership, joint tenancy, tenants in common, and tenancy by the entireties, in plain English, without the legal jargon.

Because sometimes the most important decision in a real estate transaction isn’t the property itself. It’s the paperwork everyone rushes through at closing.

Most people in Pembroke Pines know the big master planned communities west of I-75.

But some of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods were built long before tighter density and smaller lots became the norm.

This week’s Local Spotlight explores The Cove at French Villas, a single family home neighborhood known for larger lots, waterfront properties, mature landscaping, and a completely different feel than much of today’s newer construction.

It’s also a reminder that in South Florida, space itself is becoming one of the rarest commodities left.
