  Watercolor Real Estate Watercolor, located in Santa Rosa Beach Florida, is the most popular family destination on the Emerald Coast.  Location is king and the amenities are rich for all guests and owners.  Watercolor Real Estate has lead the charge for years on 30a and continues to see more new construction and new sales than any other community.  The majority of options available for purchase are single family homes, but Watercolor does offer condos and even fractional interest for sale.  Watercolor consist of 4 phases of development.  The quickest education on the difference in Phases is that Phase 1 is closest to the beach amenities, and Phase 4 would be the furthest from beach amenities.  But do not let the distance from the beach disturb your choice, Watercolor offers amenities ...

Writing An Offer Is Never A Waste Of Time | Destin and 30A Real Estate Deals Ok this post is well overdue.  I cannot tell you how many times I have heard agents say, "I do not want to waste my time writing up this low ball offer".  Many do not even want to waste their time writing up an offer that may be a good offer because they feel the seller will not accept it.   I LOVE WRITING OFFERS!  I will write any offer for anyone, at any price, any time!  Here is my thinking.  THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IN REAL ESTATE THE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WRITING AN OFFER.   Isn't this the whole point?  Isn't this why we market and prospect? I cannot tell you how many times I have had a deal start with a crazy offer and it ended up closing.  This year, I had a deal north of a million work out this way. ...

  The other day I received a happy approval on a short sale lot in Santa Rosa Beach Florida.  The short sale lender PNC, had taken over the servicing on the loan from RBC Centura.  The original mortgage amount was about $550,000 in 2004.  Today, the value of the Santa Rosa Beach lot is about $70,000. The seller was concerned we would not get an approval with such a huge monetary loss to PNC.  I said, "Let's give it a try!".  (I've gotten many short sales approved with high dollar losses.) The lot went under contract in about a week.  I already had a contact at PNC, so started the short sale process quickly by email.  The only documents that would be required were the HUD-1 settlement statement, the contract, buyer pre-approval and my listing agreement. The short sale was approved in tw...

Better hurry, my last research shows that in my area of the beach there is a 25 week supply of inventory left in the Detached Single Family Home Category.  Interest rates remain low.  Don't wait to buy.  You are going to miss your best opportunity to purchase a property at the beach then you will all be complaining that you shoulda, woulda, coulda, ....but didn't.   A 26 week supply means that the market is leveling between buyers and sellers.  Sellers are now gaining ground a bit and two things will happen as a result.  Sellers will not be coming down on their prices as much as they once were and you will even see small rises in pricing.   Don't wait too long.  Hurry, Hurry, Hurry and Step Right Up !
