A shocking home invasion occurred early Friday morning at the residence of prominent Miami real estate CEO Bobby Suarez. While Suarez, his wife, and their two young daughters slept soundly, intruders entered their gated Palm Springs North home, ransacked several rooms, and made off with valuable items, including a Porsche.
Key Takeaways

- The family feels violated and unsafe despite living in a gated community.

The Terrifying Ordeal
Surveillance footage captured two individuals, dressed entirely in black and with their faces obscured, moving through the Suarez residence. The break-in, which reportedly lasted for 28 minutes, left the family feeling deeply violated. Bobby Suarez, known for his "SellToBobby.com" commercials, expressed his distress, stating, "We honestly don’t feel safe anymore." The intruders were seen going through his daughters’ bedrooms, a detail that particularly disturbed Suarez, who feared for his children’s safety.
Stolen Valuables and Escalating Fears
In addition to personal belongings like purses and expensive glasses, the burglars stole Suarez’s Porsche. This incident marks an escalation, as Suarez mentioned that his vehicles had been tampered with previously. The brazenness of the crime, occurring while a family slept, has heightened concerns about neighborhood security. Suarez emphasized the potential danger, noting, "Somebody could get hurt. They could’ve done something to my daughters while they were sleeping."
Community Response and Security Measures
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating the break-in. In an effort to apprehend the culprits, Bobby Suarez has announced a $50,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest.
