In the vibrant world of Miami real estate, few names resonate with as much authority and respect as The Jills Zeder Group. Led by the dynamic forces of Jill, Hillary and Danny Hertzberg, Jill and Felise Eber, Judy, Nathan and Meredith Zeder, this powerhouse group is defining the Miami luxury market. As the city continues to emerge as a global hub for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, The Jills Zeder Group offers expertise, insights and exclusive listings catering to the most discerning clients.
Among the gems in The Jills Zeder Group’s portfolio is the stunning 845 E Dilido Drive, which epitomizes Miami Beach’s luxurious waterfront lifestyle. “This home is truly a standout, starting with its breathtaking location on the open bay. Its elevated design offers privacy and unparalleled views,” says Jill Hertzberg.
The property, designed in collaboration with acclaimed architect Andre Mellone, features custom terrazzo floors, a hidden bar, and an artistic flair highlighted by an original mural from Brazilian artist Paulo Wernick—the only one of its kind in the U.S. “Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed,” Hertzberg notes, adding that the primary suite is an indulgent sanctuary with its own outdoor shower and soaking tub.

With 106 feet of coveted waterfront, 845 E Dilido Drive represents both luxury and sustainability. “This property combines prime location, architectural pedigree and eco-friendly systems. The unique design and smart home features enhance its appeal for forward-thinking buyers,” says Hillary Hertzberg Benson.
The exterior landscaping, curated by renowned designers Raymond Jungles and Hoerr Schaudt, creates an enchanting retreat filled with native orchids and ancient palm trees, completing the pristine aesthetic of the jaw-dropping estate, currently listed for $24.9M.
“It feels like stepping into a private garden oasis,” Hertzberg notes.
Felise Eber identifies a key trend in the market currently—the demand for “Unicorns”—move-in ready properties that reflect buyers’ lifestyles. “While some are willing to tear down and rebuild, many want homes that are immediately livable,” she says, underscoring a shift toward ready-to-enjoy luxury, which this home provides.
Jill Eber expands that buyers are looking for contemporary homes with good architectural style.
“Smart homes and features that save time and provide comfort and the ability to incorporate their personal and business lives together is a positive feature,” she says. “Today’s high-end buyer is mobile, may own multiple houses and has specific wants and needs for their South Florida home. The more features that accommodate their lifestyle, as well as preferred locations, will get their attention.”

Furthermore, the land on which each property rests becomes paramount to its value and sale.
“Intuitive investors understand that real estate is about land. We have limited land in Miami, from the ocean to the Everglades. The scarcity of land makes the entire parcel a worthwhile investment,” Judy Zeder explains.
The influx of Millennials and Gen Z seeking Miami’s unique blend of culture, lifestyle and favorable taxes only amplifies this trend. “Coupled with a high growth mode and our reputation as a gateway to the world, the investment potential in Miami is unmatched,” Judy emphasizes, encapsulating the city’s undeniable appeal.
Most recently, the group made headlines with an astounding $100 million sale, marking the most expensive home sale in Miami’s history.
“The ultra-high-end segment is extremely active,” Danny Hertzberg notes in light of the sale. “Trophy homes in guard-gated communities are particularly sought after. However, the market is also segmented, with varying levels of price sensitivity,” he continues.

In a continually shifting landscape, Nathan Zeder emphasizes the importance of client relationships. “Stay focused on your client base and be available to counsel them through a changing market. You need to be a trusted advisor,” he says. The group prides itself on offering comprehensive knowledge of the real estate market and the surrounding lifestyle amenities— education, entertainment and shopping—all essential to their clients, especially when purchasing a home of this stature.

For those seeking not just a home but a piece of the quintessential Miami Beach lifestyle, 845 E Dilido Drive is a testament to what Miami living can offer—where luxury, sustainability and unique design converge to create an extraordinary living experience—of course, made complete with breathtaking waterfront views.
