A Miami real estate broker has sold his own waterfront mansion for $34.39 million all cash — and, he said, it was only on the market for a single day. 

Douglas Elliman broker Oliver Lloyd and his wife, Laurie, paid $11.2 million for a waterfront Miami Beach teardown in 2021, then built a mansion in its place. It was initially asking $39.5 million.

“When we bought the house, we weren’t sure if we would live there or sell it,” Lloyd told Gimme Shelter. He added that, at the time, he asked the owners’ representative if they could renovate it, but were told the home had to be torn down. “We went into contract in July 2021, and in three years, we put together this beautiful house across from a park with direct open bay access. It’s a great property.”

The existing property, at 2700 Sunset Drive on Sunset Island II, was built in the late 1980s and dated, Lloyd said. A12 Design gussied up the modern mansion. 

The seven-bedroom home sits on almost half an acre, with 100 feet on the water. It comes with nine baths and one powder room.

There’s also a great room with a full-size marble wet bar and an elevator. A large home office can also be used as a den or screening room. The home also boasts two kitchens, a main bedroom with two ensuite baths, and a separate gym/spa structure with a hybrid sauna and a steam shower.

Design details include high-impact doors and lots of built-in cabinetry.

Outside, there’s a pool and an L-shaped dock.

Jordan Karp, of Jordan Karp LLC, represented the unidentified all-cash buyer.

Neighbors on the Sunset Islands include Google’s former honcho Eric Schmidt.

The Lloyds are also in contract to buy a large piece of land on La Gorce Island that is slated to close in August for the asking price of $10 million, Lloyd said.

In 2020, the couple paid $5.5 million for a house on South Biscayne Point Drive in Miami Beach and sold it for $8.7 million a year later. 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Rookie Federico Redondo scored the first two goals of his career in the second half after assisting on a first-half score by Diego Gómez and Inter Miami posted a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday night.

Neither team scored until Redondo fed Gómez for a goal in the 43rd minute to give Inter Miami (15-4-5) a 1-0 lead at halftime. It was the third goal for Gómez and the third assist for Redondo.

Redondo’s goals came in a six-minute span. The 21-year-old midfielder used an assist from defender Julian Gressel in the 53rd minute to forge a two-goal lead and found the net again — off passes from Gómez and Gressel — in the 59th to make it 3-0. Gómez has six assists this season, while Gressel has 12. Gressel has an assist in five straight matches. He and Lionel Messi are the second pair of teammates to pull off at least a five-match assist run in the same season in league history.

Toronto (8-14-3) avoided a shutout when Derrick Etienne Jr. scored in the 80th minute. Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty notched his third assist and Kosi Thompson picked up his first on Etienne’s third goal this season.

Drake Callendar finished with three saves in goal for Inter Miami, becoming the first player to make 100 appearances in club history. Striker Robert Taylor subbed in for Gómez in the 80th minute for his 100th appearance to make it a two-man club.

Sean Johnson saved two shots for Toronto.

Luis Suárez subbed into the match in the second half in his return to Inter Miami after playing in Copa America for Uruguay. Messi, who played in the event for Argentina, is out indefinitely after suffering a ligament injury in his right ankle in a victory over Colombia in the final.

Toronto stays on the road to play CF Montreal on Saturday. Inter Miami will host the Chicago Fire on Saturday.
