Almost everyday I hear this statement on my phone, "what do you mean the isn't the Destin Pelican Beach Resort"? I go on to explain that this is one of 342 units at the resort. About 4 years ago I purchased a condo in destin(on rental program now) and immediately started a blogger blog advertising it. My Destin Pelican Beach Resort blog looks like a regular website. During the last 4 years I have learned so much here in the "rain" about long tail key words, key words in post title, key words, fresh information, keywords in photos, the use of free directories, climbing up the page rank of Google, how to dominate page one of Google, do blog comments pass link juice, adding header tags to blog posts, use of organic links and the list could go on and on. Early on I also submitted several se... 06/22/2012

Re-inspections Are Smart Business | Destin Realtor It is my #1 goal to make my clients happy.  In most real estate transactions, it is important that a good inspector is hired and it makes good sense to have the inspector come back after all repairs are made for a re-inspection.  I have a decent understanding of construction, but I am far from an expert and this is why I do not like verify that repairs have been made.  About a year ago, I asked my inspectors to include the re-inspection in their proposals to my clients.  I close anywhere from 40 to 50 transactions in a year and I have learned that inspections and repairs can be one of the hardest parts of our job. You will definitely have an upset client if the repairs are not done or done correctly.  it really is smart business to remo... 05/11/2012

Weather has been gorgeous at the beach the past few weeks.  If you have been lucky enough to sneak away and travel here you will know what I mean.  Water temps are warm and colors crystal blue and green along the shore line.  This time of year Cobia migrate along our coastline on their way to spawn at the mouth of the Mississippi River and Louisiana coast.  I took some time to enjoy the weather and fish this week and landed this 75 pounder just off the beach.  The 'Crab Cruncher Classic' Cobia Tournament at Harbor Docks is this weekend.  If you are in town swing by the docks to see all the fish being weighed in!    04/12/2012
