One wanted to expand his rental holdings and another wanted to buy a tear down.I told them they would not get a deal. There are ...

If you are looking for a mortgage to buy an Emerald Grande condo in Destin Florida, you may have a bit of difficulty.  You cannot go to any lender and get a loan for a unit in the Emerald Grande condominium complex.   Mortgage lenders who are not restricted to selling their loans to Fannie Mae (F...

Grande Pointe Lot 83, short sale, in Inlet Beach, off 30-A in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, just sold for $90,000. This was a Regions Bank short sale.  WHAT? A short sale in today’s market?

Pleasant or not. Giving or condescending. Friendly or dull. It's a lot easier working with another real estate agent who does not act like a computer or a director.

You are buying a house in Miramar Beach, 30A, or Destin, Florida, and it comes with a golf cart – or does it?  I just sold two houses in Walton County that included “golf carts”.  However, one of them was really a “low speed vehicle” (LSV). What’s the difference?  In Florida, a golf cart is desig...

I’ve seen it happen again and again. A buyer is out-of-state and has their eye on a piece of property for sale in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville or Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.  Not being in town, they are at a disadvantage compared with local buyers who are lined up to personally view homes ...
