Who Is Buying Real Estate in Your Market

I don’t know who’s buying in your market, but I sure learned quickly who was buying in my market! I entered real estate in the history making buying frenzy in the Florida Panhandle in Panama City Beach, Fl. in 2021, getting a crash course into the psyche of five different buyer types. While hustling in the post Cat5 Hurricane Michael in 2018 into the “Covid doesn’t exist” mentality brought to you by Governor DeStanis in 2021, I identified five buyer types while selling over $70M in real estate over the next few years.

Vacation Rental Checklist 2023

Owner’s closets should house personal items that you do nt want guests to have access to. We will put a keyed lock on the door knob to prevent guest entry.

Planning and Zoning Guide

Find A Property’s Zone

The most common way is to look up the zone on a Zone/Land Use Map

You can access the available maps here
Bay – Planning Map
Walton – Interactive Map
Holmes – Planning Map
The map should tell you the zone (R1, R2, etc.)
Type in the address of the property on the map, click on the pin and it will list the zone
The parcel will also have a color or pattern over it which also lets you know the zone
The maps are color coded so different colors or patterns means different zones/codes
If you don’t have an exact address go by the colors and patterns

The Real Estate Start…

Def: “Crystallization is the process by which a solid forms – separation of atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure.”

I didn’t mean to become an entrepreneur. Life changer baby made that happen. My first son was a breeze. Easy pregnancy, easy bounce back to an even better version of myself, and magical time of life healing and unconditional love.

Risk Mitigation in Property Management

There is a reason in real estate school property management is known as a “liability” in investment properties. It’s a nightmare. I know firsthand both as a property owner and as a sales rep who brought on 200+ homes for two of the largest short term rental property management companies in the US. Bed bugs.
