Destin Florida Real Estate-Prepping Your Home For MarketReady to cash in on your home equity? Or perhaps the next chapter of your life story takes place away from the Emerald Coast? Either way, having your Destin home in top shape is key to earning every dollar possible. Advice For Getting Your Destin Home Show Ready1) Declutter-- It's amazing how many "things" we collect over the years. And those souvenirs from your Rocky Mountain vacation can make it hard for Destin home buyers to visualize THEIR souvenirs in your space. 2) Does your home pass the smell test-- Not everyone likes the smell of Olds Spice and fine Corinthian Leather. Do the best you can to REMOVE odors, not simply mask them. And smoking? Don't do that anywhere near the home! 3) Fix what is broken, replace what is missing...

Destin Florida Real Estate Advice- Why Are Insurance Rates Increasing?These days Destin Florida single family home and condo buyers are receiving sticker shock when getting insurance quotes. Given all the potential perils that property faces, insurance is a must (not to mention the lender will likely require). Let's examine some of the factors causing the increased rates and some things the consumer can do to get the most for their insurance buying buck. Some factors causing rates to rise1) Inflation in general- These days EVERYTHING is more expensive. The Fish tacos I had on Tuesday were twelve bucks back in 2019. This week's trip butchered an entire twenty dollar bill. 2) The cost of recent natural disasters--As mentioned above, everything is more expensive including building material...

The Importance of Starting Price in Real Estate SalesGetting ready to sell your Destin Florida Condo? Or perhaps you want to upgrade but need to close on your Emerald Coast starter home first? Either way, one of the first things Destin home sellers need to determine is the proper starting price. Let's take a moment and explore why the starting value matters...1) Proper Pricing Should Limit Days On Market-- As the market shifts to a more balanced state we are noticing a trend with days on market. The Destin property either finds a buyer QUICKLY, or lingers. When buyers see value, they sign a contract2) Thanks To Technology, Today's Buyer is Market Savvy-- Gone are the days when Destin home buyers would have to drive to a local real estate office or pick up a trade magazine to explore hom...

Things To Do In Destin Florida-Air Force Armament MuseumPlanning a trip to Destin Florida but need a break from the beach? If so, the Air Force Armament Museum should be on your must tour list. The best part, admission is FREE...This is one museum that won't bore the kids to tears. There are aircraft from the WWII Era (P-51 Mustang) all the way through to modern times. The facility does an excellent job highlighting the troops and aircraft that served along the Emerald Coast. The SR-71 featured above is one of just a handful on display throughout the world. Inside the facility there are excellent videos, the one near the front covering WWII bomber missions was especially moving. To get the most of your experience, I suggest watching the movies Memphis Belle and the Tuskegee Airmen. Both...

Prepping For An Open House- It's Game DayWhile getting ready for our Pineville La open house, I paused to consider how much actually goes into to making the scoreboard smile on game day. When I started in real estate, that simply meant an "open house" sign in the yard the day before. Maybe an ad in the newspaper, boy how times have changed! After 15 years, here's the system I use...The Week Of The Open House1) Post the open house announcement in the MLS. This will then feed to Zillow and REALTOR.COM2) Customer flyer with the agent and co-hosting lender on Wednesday. This is shared via a blog and on social media 3) A mention in our MLS association group inviting agents to send their buyers. We take care of their clients and respect their relationship. 4) On Fridays a phone call inviting ...

Real Estate Deal Killers 2023 Edition Considering a home purchase in 2023? Like with any purchase, current market knowledge is key. Let's take a look at some of the challenges (and solutions) to the 2023 real estate market. Higher Interest Rates--Over the past few years interest rates (the cost of borrowing) has been kept artificially low. Sellers who were able to lock in 3% are hard pressed to purchase a new home at 8%. Likewise for buyers the higher rate means a lower purchase price.  Increased Insurance Cost-- Thanks to a string of natural disasters, insurance companies are feeling the pinch. Combine this with overall inflation  means MUCH higher insurance rates.  Lack of inventory-- Depending on the market, overall listing count is down 30-50% below Pre-Covid norms. Lower inventory ...
