The 6,987-square-foot home went on the market at $8.9 million in January 2019. The price dropped to $8 million six months later, and most recently was asking $7.8 million in May.

The Joch family bought the property in 2004 for $2.1 million and built a new home on the lot, records show.

The three-story house has six bedrooms and six bathrooms. It also features a three-car garage, 150 feet of waterfront, a 70-foot dock with a boat lift, and a pool.

Fred Joch is the co-owner of Legacy International Advisors, a Miami-based life insurance planning firm. Susan Joch is a real estate agent and developer. She developed the recently sold property, according to her LinkedIn.

Key Biscayne has been a hot market in October. A wealthy Brazilian family sold their waterfront mansion for $13 million, a founding partner of Platinum Equity sold his mansion for $15.5 million and the co-founder of a cryptocurrency asset company sold his condo at Ocean Tower Two for $5.8 million.
