destin realtor: What Does a Destin Realtor Do For Vacation? - 11/03/11 10:07 AM

What does a Destin Florida real estate agent do for vacation? When you live by the beautful Gulf of Mexico, in a small resort town in the South, you do the opposite, of course.  Head North!  And North I went, back to my roots in the Northeast.  Having grown up in Connecticut, it was time to visit my family and take a side trip to Massachusetts. The time of year was perfect - October cool and crisp.  We stayed in Boston, and walked the Freedom Trail. 
 If you've never experienced this part of Boston - you need to. No American should … (5 comments)

destin realtor: My Shopping Adventure at Sephora in Destin Florida - 03/18/11 06:45 PM

 
When you think Destin Florida, you might think beaches, fishing, dining and golf, right?  But we've got more now!  The new Sephora store opened today in Destin Commons!
 



 

Sephora?  What's that?  If you are a woman, you probably know.  Sephora is one of the premier cosmetics and perfume stores in the world.  And we didn't have one in Destin - until today. Yes, that seemingly ubiquitous store you see at malls around the country.  The one where all the guys are standing around by the entrance waiting... waiting for their wives or girlfriends … (9 comments)

destin realtor: Seller Ruins Credit on False Short Sale Information - 05/22/09 10:06 AM

 
Yesterday I received a phone call from an elderly seller who wanted to do a short sale.  She had bought a waterfront condo in Destin four years ago, and paid over $800,000.  Today, the unit is worth around $350,000.  Mrs. Seller told me she had three "friend" investors convince her to buy, who promised to help with the payments.  She put down $50,000 and her son put down $75,000, but she took the mortgage in her name alone.  She told me the "investors" bailed, and had never made one payment.  Mrs. Seller said she had "had enough" so needed to do a short … (17 comments)

destin realtor: Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan - How Will It Affect Short Sales? - 02/23/09 08:57 PM

Most of us have read the Treasury Department's new Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
After reading the plan, with details to be unveiled on March 4, I want to know- "How will the plan affect Short Sales? " Most of the plan is focused on aiding homeowners whose primary residence is at risk of foreclosure.  Not everyone will be helped by this plan.  Some of those who won't may include homeowners with loans not guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  Many have lost jobs or have lost so much income they would not qualify. Other owners may have rental properties that cannot be … (11 comments)

destin realtor: My Emerald Coast of Florida - 01/12/09 06:32 PM

My market on the Emerald Coast of Florida is diverse.  So is my real estate practice.  As a real estate broker in Destin Florida, my office is centrally located to cover it all, and that I do.  From central Destin, it's just 20 minutes to Fort Walton Beach, or 30 minutes straight shot up Highway 98 to Navarre. Or even closer, 12 minutes over the Mid-Bay Bridge to Bluewater Bay.  As diverse as my area's real estate is, we are cohesively known as the "Emerald Coast" of Florida.  We are not a major metropolitan area, but we are bound together by one beautiful thing - … (2 comments)
