The Keyes Company Closes All-Bitcoin Townhouse Sale in Miami

 

Broker Manuel Perez and attorney Jonathon Coto Close Bitcoin Townhouse Deal
in Miami, FL

Coral Gables, FL – The Keyes Company has completed the all-Bitcoin sale of a Miami townhouse. This is believed to be the third such transaction to close in Florida as real estate buyers and sellers start to embrace cryptocurrency.

Manuel Perez of Keyes’ Coral Gables-based Elizabeth Perez Team listed the 3180 SW 22nd Terrace townhouse on behalf of the seller. The 1,321-square-foot townhouse is located steps away from Coral Gables. The sale closed for 41.35 Bitcoin, or $338,878, on Feb. 7.

The seller and buyer in the transaction were not disclosed.

“We congratulate the Elizabeth Perez Team for successfully navigating the new world of cryptocurrency in completing this sale,” said Mike Pappas, CEO of The Keyes Company. “At Keyes, we strive to be ahead of the curve when it comes to changes in the industry. We are well-positioned to accommodate buyers and sellers who want to use cryptocurrencies in transactions.”

Yaramis Caminero represented the buyer in the deal. South Miami attorney Jonathan Coto handled the closing.

The transaction provides further evidence that cryptocurrencies are becoming “mainstream” in the real estate industry and business world, according to Perez. He is also handling a condominium listing at 737 11th Street in Miami Beach in which the owner is willing to accept Bitcoin and Ethereum.

“Real estate sales using Bitcoin or Ethereum are adding legitimacy to the use of cryptocurrencies in the real world,” he said. “Our team is seeing interest from other buyers and sellers in these kinds of transactions. We look forward to continuing to facilitate such deals.”
