Welcome to your one-stop source for real estate services and area information covering Panama City Beach and its surrounding communities: Panama City, Historic St. Andrews, Lynn Haven, Southport, and Callaway.  This "redneck riveria" is no longer the forgotten coast:  For the last several years, the area has outpaced many with endless possibilities and growth and continues to show promise and potenital for years to come.  

Because our area of pristine beaches is a resort and vacation destination for many, Panama City Beach and its surrounding communities offer a multitude of property types and seaside communities, as well as a vast array of price ranges - so there literally is something here for everyone!  Real Estate is a big investment of time and money, and I feel that the decisions you make whether selling or buying should be informed ones.  I specialize in helping helping first time homebuyers and those new to our market (whether relocating from a military base, retiring to the area, or searching for that vacation home) :

• find the perfect home, 
• consider all the available communities that may fit their needs,
• assist, if needed, in obtaining prequalification, making lenders available to consider all their financing options, and understanding your financing options,
• understanding your purchase choices and understanding their long-term impact for you, 
• I strive to educate you about your possibilites and will help guide you every step along the way so that your real estate experiences with me are pleasant and lasting ones.  

In 2007, CNN and Business Week suggested Panama City, Fl's as the #1 place to invest based on our potential for growth and projected property values to exceed 70% over a five year period of time.  Bay County has continued throughout year 2007 and into 2008 to be among its leaders in condo and home sales in the State of Florida.  And, in 2008 AOL's Smart Money, selected Panama City Beach, Fl as the #1 place to own a summer home.  Although the nation's current real estate market has seen some challenges, Panama City Beach and its surrounding area continues to see promises with the evergrowing Pier Park, an open-air, beachside, Mall, and our new international airport, that will bring many more visitors to the area that just might want a piece of our paradise, if only for a few days or a lifetime.  

Excitement about our new, regional airport can be baffling to some from larger. metropolitan areas:  Easy commute for vacationers to this area is a big plus.  The regional airport is the first to be built in the past 20 years.  Its location will invite easy commutes to resort destinations, provide competitive air travel rates and schedules, while spurring jobs and retail growth for this area.   Its projected completion is Spring, 2010!

The beach's new, Pier Park shopping mall, celebrated its premier opening Feb 14, 2008, and continues to celebrate new openings, offering events hosting, great shopping and dining experiences in walking distance of the world's most beautiful beaches!  Pier Park has developed into a popular, hot spot for tourists and its locals. More Details Click Here.

I encourage you to search my site.  Are you a first time home buyer, military pscing to the area, retiring here, seeking a vacation or second home, or an investor - take a look around for available properties, information about our communities, relocation information, tips, and news articles and I hope that you find the information here helpful to you.  Certainly if you have any questions, suggestions, or I can help you streamline your web surfing, please do not hesitate to contact me for my help.  This is a wonderful time to buy: great supply of property, great prices and motivated sellers, while still enjoying unbelievably attractive interest rates.  With other tax incentives like the $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit, and the $6500 sellers tax credit, the door of opporuntity is definitely knocking.  Don't let the opportunity pass you by - should have, could have, would have, is NOW.  Many of our property prices have reached near "pre-boom" pricing, but they won't stay there.
