Got Buying Fever?

Buying real estate is one of life's most demanding experiences, and it is essential to select a real estate team who will take care of all the nuts and bolts of the process. Our first-hand knowledge of the communities that dot our coast will be a substantial asset as we search for the perfect property for you. When you purchase a property, the seller will pay our commission. Here's what you can expect:

PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION: We know the Emerald Coast! We are prepared to provide you with valued advice in all things real estate.

MARKET KNOWLEDGE: Our knowledge of current trends in local real estate will allow us to target the best areas and communities to meet your needs.

DETERMINING BUYING POWER: We can put you in touch with lenders who will help you determine your buying ability. If you are a cash buyer, then we will determine the best place to invest your hard-earned money for the most bang for your buck.

OBJECTIVE INFORMATION ON PROPERTIES: It is essential to know what is on the market as well as background information. We will assist you in sorting out your alternatives and in determining your best options.

EVALUATION OF PROPERTIES: Considering location, amenities, basic construction quality, home condition, and possible allowances for home enhancements, we will establish if the property you are considering purchasing is priced at fair market value.

PREPARING OFFERS: When you are ready to make an offer, it should be based on a fair and sensible price. A low bid will most probably offend the seller and could limit your chances for negotiating for a reasonable price.

COORDINATION OF THE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION: The paperwork can be overwhelming. Between the initial offer and the closing, we have substantial due diligence to complete, and some issues will need to be addressed and possibly resolved.

PROBLEM SOLVER: We will be your "go-to" for all aspects of your real estate transaction. The hallmark of our real estate services is our continual commitment to listen to and be sensitive to our clients' needs, expectations, and concerns. Our mission is to give you Peace of Mind.

April 2018 Condo & Home Market Highlights

Well into the the Spring season, April was another busy month for our team! 

Destin and the surrounding areas are an especially wonderful place to spend spring and summer with the whole family. With the broad interests being met from young to old, Destin is a true family favorite. This simple reason is just one of several that bring so many to own and invest here in paradise.  

In case you missed it in our newsletter this month, check out what the data showed from the world's largest vacation rental search engine – HomeToGo.com. Panama City Beach and Destin were ranked as the top two most popular Florida destinations for Spring Break. Panama City Beach saw over $27 million spent weekly on vacation rentals during spring break, while Destin saw over $17 million. Now is the time to invest in paradise! 

Our team had an active share in the April market, and are preparing for the busy summer season when the weather and the real estate are hot! 

In April we assisted our wonderful buyers in the sales of the following properties:

We love staying in touch to keep both our buyers and sellers prepared for the rest of the year, and beyond. This is a great time to perform some due diligence regarding purchasing property.

A great way to close out last week – we're thrilled to say we had both sides of the sale of this beachfront penthouse unit in Calypso Resort in Panama City Beach!

Our seller, a prominent doctor in Knoxville, had purchased this unit in pre-construction in 2006. Prior to listing we did some staging: decluttering, fresh paint throughout, modern low-nap carpeting in bedrooms, and wood-look porcelain plank tile in all other areas. 

We also had the buyers from Texas who decided it was time to trade in their business attire for beachwear. With this unit as their second home, we know they'll enjoy the panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from their expansive balcony and the amenities offered at Calypso! 

Nestled on the edge of paradise you’ll find Calypso – a Gulf front beach resort featuring panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico. This penthouse unit boasts an open floor plan with views of the beach from the living, dining and kitchen areas. Glass sliders lead you to the spacious balcony accessed from both the living area and master suite. The generous master suite includes a walk in closet and private bath. With a guest suite and bunk room this unit comfortably sleeps eight. Calypso has everything needed for the perfect beach experience, making this a fantastic investment opportunity. Paradise!
