It seems to be warmer than normal this Thanksgiving.  In my area, there will be plenty of visitors at the beach, on the golf course, boating and fishing.  Red Snapper and Triggerfish are abundant at this time of the year in the Gulf of Mexico. My nail technician yesterday commented that the house is going to be so warm this year when her family comes to visit that they may even have to run their air conditioning.  This is highly unusual in late November. It is already evident that the visitors are in town and occupancy rates are way up.  It is good to see and I welcome you to come and join us in this beautiful area. Happy Thanksgiving to All !

  The Cash Buyer Deserves a Deal - Santa Rosa Beach, FL Foreclosures Destin and Santa Rosa Beach Foreclosure and Short Sale Search - Click Here.   Lets face it, cash buyers expect and deserve great deals.  Bottom line, they can stroke a check and stroke it quickly.  I work with alot of buyers and I have had some success with financing, but the majority of the deals that go south are due to financing.  Cash buyers must provide proof of funds to be taken seriously. Sellers of Real Estate should be thrilled when they receive a cash offer with proof of funds.  Banks understand this and they often reward the cash buyer.  I have seen a situation where there were two offers, one with a financing contingency, and one with a solid cash offer that was 20% less on a bank owned property.  The bank ...

As seen in my Just Sold E-mail for 601 Blue Mountain Road... This home is one back from Gulf-front with preserved Gulf views across a conveniently located beach access point. I just helped a client purchase a fractional share in this property. It features two spacious units, a large swimming pool and deck area, as well as a rec room. Blue Mountain Beach, FL real estate is popular among buyers looking for a laid-back beach lifestyle. Many of the homes are not in an HOA, or are only a part of a voluntary HOA, which means no additional fees and a lower cost to own. Take a look at other homes for sale in Blue Mountain Beach!

I am sitting having lunch at the Santa Rosa Beach Club off of Hwy. 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, FL.  It is located in Walton County.  No wonder when I laid eyes on this place I knew exactly where I wanted to be for the rest of my life.  It just doesn't get any better.  I love it here.  You should come for a visit too.  The Club is open to the public.  Many people hold weddings on the beach and use the club for their reception.  No wonder.  Can you say Heaven?

I am so frustrated to be forced to use Title Companies out of the County where the Property is located.  This is how all foreclosures and REOs are being handled in our area and it is wrong.  We don't have a relationship with these title companies, cannot walk in and take them originals, and cannot speak to them face to face when closings are going all wrong.  It is so frustrating.  My local title companies are responsive and I do business with them because of their customer service skills or I am friends with them from the Chamber of Commerce, etc.  If I have a cash buyer and want to close tomorrow, they can make it happen.  All of the bank's title companies are located out of area and have been a nightmare to deal with.  They are overworked and show little respect for the Realtors they...

Voted the best pizza in Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.  I am meeting friends for dinner tonight at Pizza by the Sea.  It is located across from Watercolor and next to the Watercolor Publix.  When looking for Pizza by the Sea, you will find many other reviews and write-ups on it.  It even has its own Facebook Page.  www.facebook.com/pizzabythesea It is also mentioned at many travel sites likr Trip Advisor, Travelocity, 30A.com, sowal.com and many others.  Yelp gives it a 4 star rating out of 5. Watercolor Home Subdivision which sits across from this popular pizza spot is one of our area's most popular subdivision in the area.  If I can help you with any local information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you. Kelly

Avoid Foreclosure Rescue Scams Article From HouseLogic.com By: Donna FuscaldoPublished: January 15, 2010 With foreclosure rescue scams widespread as more homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments, be smart if you seek help. A record high 2.8 million properties were hit with foreclosure notices (http://www.realtytrac.com/contentmanagement/pressrelease.aspx?channelid=9&accnt=0&itemid=8333) in 2009, putting even more Americans at risk of facing foreclosure rescue scams. Homeowners who fall behind on mortgage payments need to tread carefully when seeking assistance, since foreclosure rescue scams come in many guises. A day spent researching legitimate options, from a mortgage modification or principal forebearance to a short sale or deed-in-lieu, could keep you from becoming a scam victi...
