I have two openings for real estate agents in my Destin Florida real estate office.  My ad has been on craigslist for a few weeks.  I got a call about a week ago from an agent. She had just moved to Florida from a northern state, and had experience selling homes.   She lives two towns away from my office, Rulnick Realty.  After a pleasant phone conversation, she made an appointment for an in-person interview the following Monday.  On Sunday I received an email – “Gas costs too much. I don’t want to drive.” We don’t just cover Destin Florida at my office, Rulnick Realty. We do cover the Emerald Coast, from Santa Rosa Beach, Rosemary Beach, Watercolor, all the way to Navarre Beach and ways north. My office is technically in Miramar Beach, so it’s a good central point, a couple miles from... 03/04/2013

It was an interesting run to "APPROVED" and "SOLD" for this Amalfi Coast Unit B114 short sale condo in Destin, Florida.  The condo had one Bank of America mortgage and the investor on the mortgage was Fannie Mae. Initially, the property was enrolled by Bank of America into their cooperative short sale program with a set list price. After I received a good offer that become a "contract" just 60 days later, I found out that it had mistakenly been entered into the "Coop" program.  Bank of America had delegated the servicing of this loan to a third party company, REDC, with whom I did the negotiating.  I got a terse "rejection" on the file even after some counter offering of price and a request for seller contribution.  I could not get a good explanation as to "why" the file was rejected s... 01/30/2013

  Deciding to Move - A Realtor's Story- Part 1 Should We Sell or Buy First - A Realtor's Story - Part 2 The Search for a New Home - A Realtor's Story - Part 3 Writing the Offer – A Realtor’s Story – Part 4 This is the last of a five part series. As a Destin real estate Broker with over 20 years experience, I recently went through the home buying and selling process myself. It was a “moving” experience. Having found the perfect home in Bluewater Bay, now it was time to sell my house in Destin Florida. (For explanation of why I did this in reverse, see Should We Sell or Buy First? ). I decided the best way to “show” my home was without us living in there. Plus, I have three precious cats, what a nightmare to round them up prior to any showing! My husband and I decided to move most of our... 01/24/2013

Second in a Five Part Series. Previous story: Deciding to Move - A Realtor's Story Having made the decision to leave our Destin Florida home, I had another decision to make with my husband. "Should we list and sell our Destin home before buying or building another one, or should we find something we really wanted first, then sell?" First, of course, we had to get “qualified” for a new mortgage, either way. Would it even be possible for us to get another loan without selling? Knowing the amount of paperwork we would face to apply for a mortgage, I took the first step. I contacted a handful of mortgage lenders. The difference in style and knowledge was apparent. We ended up working with Joe Pelter of First Federal Bank of Florida. The instant I spoke with him on the phone, I knew he was ... 01/17/2013

First in a Series: Deciding to Move - A Realtor's Story I want to tell you about my personal journey and the decision to sell my home and buy a new one. As a Destin Realtor with over 20 years experience, it’s good to go through the home buying and selling process once in a while. It has helped me really empathize with my customers – both buyers and sellers. A similar journey is shared by many and was poignantly felt by me. Background. I had lived in Destin Florida for many years, about 15. The home I owned had been custom built and designed for me by my good friends and excellent builders, Beukenkamp Building Group. The architect even studied Feng Shui for me to really make the home mine. It was beautiful. I had found the perfect lot for the home by mailing everyone in a three street r... 01/16/2013
