Boca Raton History
It was Addison Mizner (1872-1933) who really put Boca Raton on the map. Addison Mizner is virtually synonymous with Boca Raton. He was an architect and what was termed a “social architect.” He liked to build expensive homes for the wealthy. According to the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum, he created fabulous Palm Beach Mansions, unlike mansions up north. It was his design for the Everglades Club that introduced Mediterranean style architecture to the resort.
Addison Mizner had grand plans to make Boca Raton a playground for the wealthy. He built The Cloisters, a hotel which has morphed into the famed Boca Raton Resort & Country Club today. There is an area in East Boca called Old Floresta, where, according to legend, he built homes for his friends and workers. You will notice that many things in Boca are called Addison or Mizner. And now you know why!
Boca Raton Weather
The climate in Boca Raton, FL can vary. Despite the fact that Florida is the southernmost state in the country, winters tend to be mild with an average of 76 to 85 from October through May. Summers are hot in Boca Raton, with averages of 89 to 91 from June to September. We get approximately 27.31 inches of rain per year.
Living here 24 years, I can tell you that the weather can vary. The sun shines bright and the skies are blue about 231 days per year, and tropical foliage and flowers bloom all year. Florida can be humid – our average is about 70 percent. Some days tend to be more humid while others are not humid at all.
Hurricanes: Yes, we get them. That being said, it’s my opinion that pretty much anywhere you live in the United States, you get something – blizzards, Nor’easters, earthquakes or tornadoes. I’ve lived in the Boca/Delray/Boynton area for 24 years and we’ve gone through two bad hurricane seasons. The good thing is that they give you warning so you have time to leave, if that’s what you want to do.

We highly recommend her services
To whom it may concern: This is to inform you that we have gotten to know Ms. Berman over the last year or so while looking for a home for our daughter in Florida. Ms. Berman has been very helpful and knowledgeable in almost every aspect of our dealings with her and we highly recommend her services to anyone interested in purchasing a home in this area (Boca Raton and surrounding areas.)
Elyse helped us tremendously
My husband and I moved to the Boca-Delray area from the Chicago area with two adult children and an elderly dog. We knew nothing about the area, nor the extensive restrictions for people who have pets. Elyse helped us tremendously. She took the time to know us and quickly figured out what we wanted in a home – actually much better than we knew ourselves!
She was patient as we sold our home up North, showing us homes in the types of neighborhoods we’d feel comfortable in. Elyse was on top of everything from putting in our offer to finding the right bank to finance, and everything in between. The closing process was a dream.
Now that we’ve closed on our home, I consider Elyse my first true friend in South Florida. I would recommend her unconditionally – I can’t say enough good things about her. Elyse Berman is a true professional and a realty gem.
She is confident without being aggressive.
Last month, I had 24 hours to call “my own.” So, I opted to get on a plane and spend it with a woman who had the reputation of being one of the most well-versed real estate representatives in the Delray/Highland Beach area. To my delight, I met the woman who is now the reason behind my warm weather wonder of a rental, the future Realtor to a purchase when and if it should arise and my friend. Elyse Berman is the woman, the Realtor and the friend.
My flight and stay in Florida were seamless. Elyse took me to see everything available which met my “wish list” and had a time line, which made the process a pleasurable one. Her own experiences, having relocated from the New York area and become a Southern Florida resident, were priceless in the process.
Elyse was, and remains, a communicator in real time with me and with other agents/managers involved in the real estate market. She is confident without being aggressive. She is timely while being able to give extra time and care in cases requiring flexibility. I would highly recommend Elyse Berman for any rental or purchase in the Greater Boca Raton area. In fact, I have already done so with a friend in New York!
She listened to our concerns about different properties
My wife and I first contacted Elyse when her name came up during an internet search for pet friendly communities in Boca Raton as she herself is a long time pet owner. Initially, we asked her help for a seasonal rental with 2 small dogs. She said that it would be very challenging due to the many restrictions most of the communities have regarding the amount of pets, size and breed. However, she was kind enough to make some recommendations and we started our search.
After a couple of months of searching for seasonal rentals that would allow 2 dogs, we realized there were just too many complications and restrictions, especially being out of state residents. Since it was really important to us at this point in our lives to spend more time in Florida with our dogs, we decided to use Elyse’s many years of experience and expertise in the Boca/Delray area to help us purchase a second home in a pet friendly community.
We had some very specific requirements regarding location, size of the home and community amenities. It didn’t take long for Elyse to help us zero in on two communities which fit most of our needs and ultimately, we chose the very intimate and pet friendly community of Santa Barbara, ideally located in central Boca. We just closed on our new home 10/29/2015.
During every step of the process in finding the right home for us, Elyse was always extremely knowledgeable, professional and readily available to us by phone or email. As a court stenographer in her previous career, she is meticulous in every detail. She listened to our concerns about different properties and locations but would never push us in one direction or the other, leaving it up to us to make the final decisions.
In closing, we would highly recommend Elyse as someone honest and trustworthy to help you with your real estate needs. If you’re a pet owner looking to purchase in Palm Beach County, then you really must contact her!

She was relentless in her search
As I shared in my previous review of June 2016, Elyse and I have known each other since 2014. At that time, we had relocated from NY to Florida, and she helped us find a wonderful house to rent.
Having lived in Boca Raton for almost three years, and become familiar with the different communities, my husband and I had very specific criteria of the home we wanted to purchase. We were looking for a home in one of two communities where homes seldom come up for sale. The house had to have 4 bedrooms, at least 2 bathrooms, more than 2000 square feet, a pool and an open lay-out. I was set on finding a home where I could see straight through to the pool when I walked in the door. Tall order, I know.
Luckily, not for Elyse! She did it! Over the course of three years, she was relentless in her search until she found our dream home! From contract to closing, Elyse guided us through the process. Issues came up, as they inevitably do, and Elyse’s expertise proved invaluable to resolving them and moving the process along. Whether you are selling or buying a house, there is no one else I would recommend. Elyse will exceed your expectations! Thank you so very much for everything!!! Could not have done it without you!
