Just Sold | Sea Oats | 703 | Okaloosa Island, FL

2 Bed  |  2 Bath  |  1,040 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $390,000

Another unit sold for our long-time investor!

Last year our clients had a profitable plan in mind when we assisted them in purchasing this unit at Sea Oats. The unit was in need of some repair, but they saw the potential and jumped right in. After getting the unit back in good shape and decorating it with their signature coastal style, they asked us to put it on the market. We went to work, got the unit sold, and they made a profit. We love it when plans come to fruition!   

This 7th floor unit at Sea Oats is lovely. The bright coastal decor and Gulf views make for the perfect beach getaway or vacation rental. The living area features glass sliders leading to the Gulf-front balcony where you can spend your mornings relaxing and taking in the salty breeze. The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of room for the family. The master suite features Gulf views and a full attached bath. The guest suite has an attached bath also accessible from the hall. A sweet little paradise. Gross rental projections are at 35k – making this unit a great investment opportunity!

Sea Oats is a perennial favorite being family-friendly and conveniently located. Amenities include a Gulf-front pool, hot tub, grilling area, tennis courts, and a boardwalk straight to the beach. It's also close to shopping, entertainment, and restaurants at The Boardwalk, and just six miles from Destin. Paradise!

This was a great unit to shoot and market. With great amenities and a beachfront community, we made the most of these aspects and featured them in our marketing plan. Check out the various ways we marketed the property to reach potential buyers.

   

In addition to professional photography, we produced a video tour of the unit and community to send to potential buyers. We also created interest in the property by running ads on social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram. 

We sent mobile-friendly email flyers to our database of investors and agents that linked to both the property website and video tour for ease of access in learning more about the unit and surrounding area. The property was also featured on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com, as well the internationally renowned Remax.com.

Just Sold | Edgewater | 1008 | Miramar Beach, FL

1 Bed  |  1 Bath  |  1,006 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $368,000

We're thrilled to have had both sides of this closing!

After owning this unit for six years and making many memories here, our clients decided it was time to upgrade to a larger unit. They reached out to us to list, and we found the perfect buyer shortly after! 

Here is what our sellers had to say about working with us:

"When we decided to sell our condo in Destin, FL we contacted Jay Agnew and his team. He was extremely knowledgeable of the Destin real estate market and explained the best process to sell our unit. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the video that was prepared and sent to perspective buyers. Throughout the process he was quick to respond and kept us informed of all developments through the closing process. We would definitely use Jay again and highly recommend him to our friends and colleagues." 

- Bob & Lynn Snyder

Our buyer owned in Edgewater many years ago but missed the sugar-white sand and emerald waters so much he decided to find himself an escape by the sea once again. We're so thrilled that this worked out perfectly for both of our clients!  

A coastal gem with stunning Gulf views – this beautiful unit is located on the desirable 10th floor on the south end of the building. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops and a lighted tray ceiling. The bath has been updated with a new tile and glass shower and granite countertops. The spacious balcony overlooks the beautiful grounds as well as the Gulf of Mexico and can be accessed from both the living area and bedroom. When not being utilized as a beach getaway by our client, this is an ideal investment property with past annual gross rentals reaching $48k+!

Edgewater Beach is a family favorite resort offering two large pools with waterfall and hot tub, deeded beach access, playground, fitness center, community room, parking garage, shuffleboard, basketball, and gated security. A nice little paradise.

This was a great unit to shoot and market. With wonderful amenities and a unique beach community, we made the most of these aspects and featured them in our marketing plan. Check out the various ways we marketed the property to reach potential buyers.
