 As I sat back and was having lunch, I took a good look  around  at the View of the Harbor and thought "How Great Life Is". I moved from Miami, Fl 9 years ago to Destin, Fl, and have enjoyed every day. Although  Destin is known as a Resort Community, we have so much to offer. Well I have to run, the Vacationers are arriving so check with me tomorrow.

When I teach my prospecting class I use gardening as a metaphor.  It takes a lot of hard work to grow a productive and rewarding garden.  First you have to plan out your location or pick your target market.  You will need a few good tool's. Next till your soil.  One of the most important step's in growing a beautiful garden is tilling your soil.  Pick your target market by doing research up front.  How many home's do I need to sell to make my income goal?  How many client's do I have to prospect? How many row's do I plant? Plant your seed's.  This is what I would call prospecting.  How many post cards, just sold, just listed, newsletters, how many open house's will I sit to grow my business to the size I feel the most comfortable with.  Now add some active rain and fertilizer and you ha...

Located in the Florida Panhandle, the City of Destin has a rich historical heritage dating back to American Indian inhabitants as early as the 7th century A.D. Spanish explorers surveyed Florida in 1538. Don Francisco Tapia was commissioned to survey the Florida coast and in 1693, drew the first known map of East Pass and its shores. Destin traces its immediate history to a fisherman, Captain Leonard Destin, who moved here from New London, Connecticut, and settled in Northwest Florida in about 1845. Captain Destin pioneered the fishing industry and Destin has maintained this heritage to the present. With the growth and development of Destin from a small fishing village to a major tourist resort came the need for a local government structure. The City of Destin was originally chartered a...

Real Estate continues to be local in nature - if one was to look at a weather map - one would be more concerned about the local weather and less about the weather in areas 400 miles away - and so it is in real estate. The concept of FIFO - is applicable here as well - the Destin Florida real estate market was arguably the first to crash - the fall began in September 2005 and it is showing signs that it is also going to be among the first out of this prolonged (3 1/2 years) downward market adjustment. The Destin to Seagrove Beach to Rosemary Beach real estate markets appreciated faster and higher than most U.S. real estate markets; we have also fallen faster and deeper. The spreadsheet below demonstrates the comparison between last 6 months to  the same 6 months the year prior of the Des...

A Destin rental can be in several locations in the city, with the most luxurious Destin beach rental properties being along the shore. Destin, one of the towns along the Emerald Coast on the Florida panhandle, is known for its white beaches and clear, emerald-colored water. As a result, Destin has grown from a fishing town to the premier resort town in the South. In fact, Destin has been voted the beach in the South and the top family vacation destination by Southern Living Magazine. Aside from the view of the beach, Destin is known for its tropical fish and shells and has been dubbed the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village.” To enjoy the luxury and splendor that is Destin, many beach rental properties, including many luxury Destin condo and rental houses, line these Florida beaches.

  A tax credit is now available for Qualified First Time Home Buyer's purchasing a principal residence on or afer January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.  The big move is.....this one doesn't have to be repaid.   There is a definite time table for this generous gift.  The $8,000 tax credit only applies to homes purchased before December 1, 2009.  There could be an extention, but with the heat that Congress has caught over the money spent for stimulus.....I would bet my credit while I could.   Here is a snapshot of the Credit: The tax credit is for first time home buyer's only.  The IRS defines a first time home buyer as anyone who has not owned a principal residence in the 3 year period prior to their purchase. The tax credit does not have to be repaid. The tax credit is equal to 1...
