Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino finally sold his lakefront home in Weston, Florida. He originally put the home up for sale in 2005 for $15.9M fully furnished. Two years ago he lowered it to $13.5M fully furnished, and after dropping the price a few more times it finally left him with a total price reduction of $8.7M.
Marino paid $2.15M back in 1995 to build his massive estate that sits on 4.3 acres on a peninsula located near the Florida Everglades. Although that price doesn’t include the cost of additions and upgrades since then.
The 19,496-square-foot Mediterranean estate has 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 2 guest houses, a pool, a putting green, a 5,000-bottle wine cellar and a pond stocked with fresh bass. It also has a private gated entrance and staff quarters.
Marino and his wife Claire still own a Weston condominium, and they apparently plan to continue living in the area.

I have been in the real estate industry since 2002, and actually starting out as an appraiser.
Before that however, I worked as a residential concrete finisher; which I started as a summer job when I was 13 and over the years worked my way to become a lead foreman.
As both a residential appraiser and concrete finisher, the housing and market experience I’ve gained has truly been an asset.
Shortly after acquiring my appraiser’s license, I went on to become a Real Estate Broker. Since then it’s been a passion of mine to help families and individuals who are buying, selling, relocating, or investing.
In 2004 I purchased my first 2 investment properties and then in 2005 I bought my first primary home. Since then I’ve had over 20+ investment properties including: rentals, lease options, fixer flips, new construction, and vacation rentals. In 2012, I had the opportunity to feature and host a home on HGTV’s “Million Dollar Rooms”.
In 2008 I married my beautiful bride on the beach in Maui. We have two amazing boys and a little girl who’s our princess!
