Hi Folks-

Yes its Bike Week in Daytona so we get to see the many thousands of Motorcyle Enthusiasts line the Plaza downtown and cruise down Beach Blvd. en route to and from the gatherings in Daytona.  Its a great sight!

Real Estate world has been fun this past week.  I have had the opportunity to go along on some appraisal work and see both an Intracoastal front home with a great dock and boat lift as well as a brand new home with three bedrooms and two baths thats on the market for just $159,000!!  I have always felt that one of the great things about St. Augustine is that there is a style and a price for every buyer.  Whatever you want, we have it!

Have a great weekend and make sure to check out my site:  www.saintaugustinerealtor.com for updates, price changes and more!

All the best-

Its been an interesting week for me in Real Estate.  Its one of the  many things I enjoy about practicing Real Estate in St. Augustine and St. Johns County.  I learn new things every day!

Last week myself and many other Realtors from the area were invited to an event at The Club at Hammock Beach.  It is a resort community located in Palm Coast which offers the highest level of luxury living and vacation experience in the area.  The development group invited us to preview their latest phase that has just been completed.  Like the rest of the community it is breathtaking.  These large residences offer generous squarefootage, private elevator stops, restaurants, golf, nightlife, valet parking, pools with water slides, indoor and outdoor bars and much much more.  They are even a sister property which fronts the Intracoastal Waterway.  We had a great time and really enjoyed the experience.

In addition to this property I just listed an equisite residence in another Flagler County/Palm Coast development.  This listing is in Hammock Dunes, one of the most desired and established communities in all of North Florida.  The property is a 2800 square foot, three bed, three and a half bath oceanfront unit in the newly completed Cambria Building.  It offers luxury in every detail and needs to be experienced to be appreciated.  Please check it out on my website:  www.saintaugustinerealtor.com.

What a beautiful weekend here in St. Augustine.  The weather was just perfect, there are still many folks here enjoying Bike Week and the Seafood festival drew many vistors to the events field downtown.

It was also a great day for an Open House.  I was at my listing at 466 Ocean Forest Dr. in Anastasia Dunes.  You can visit the listing page of my website:  www.saintaugustinerealtor.com to see pictures.

I had many people come through and everyone loved the house.  It is over 3300 SF, mostly on one floor and on a large corner lot at the entrance to a cul de sac.  In addition, everyone raved about the subdivision.  Most had never been there before.

You need to see Anastasia Dunes.  It is located just off A1A and across the street from the beach.  Its a newer subdivision featuring ancient oak trees and natural rolling dunes.  All of the homes are custom built, the community is gated and offers a pool and clubhouse.  Vacant lots start at about $240,000 and homes from about $750,000. 

Hope to see you at the next Open House!

Hi everyone and welcome to the first installment of my Blog.  I hope you find it informative and return to get updates, check out my listings and just browse what I love, Real Estate in St. Augustine!

You probably already know a little bit about our area but please utilize the tools on my website:  www.saintaugustinerealtor.com to learn even more.  There are interactive maps, satellite images through Google Earth, weather information and more.

As one of the most productive Realtors in the area I can tell you that conditions are good!  Interest rates are still historically low, and there is plenty of inventory of all kinds of property to choose from.  Smart buyers are finding great deals and properties they had only dreamed of owning in the past.  For example, I recently sold a vacation home to a very nice couple from Pennsylvania.  They purchased a small home in a nice community with a pool just across the street from the beach for just $120,000!   They plan on being here several times throughout the year and are just thrilled to have a place to escape the snow and ice storms of up North.

St. Augustine is not just about vacation homes.  Our beaches are wide and spectacular, our downtown offers a unique and quaint experience, we have a highly rated school system, great shopping and most importantly a plethora of housing options.  The point is, we have what you are looking for.

If you have any questions about Real Estate or the area in general please give a call or drop me an email.  I will be on the monthly Art Walk in Downtown St. Augustine tonight but I will be back to the laptop soon and I look forward to hearing from you!
