Grande Pointe Lot 83, short sale, in Inlet Beach, off 30-A in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, just sold for $90,000. This was a Regions Bank short sale.  WHAT? A short sale in today’s market?

Pleasant or not. Giving or condescending. Friendly or dull. It's a lot easier working with another real estate agent who does not act like a computer or a director.

I’ve seen it happen again and again. A buyer is out-of-state and has their eye on a piece of property for sale in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville or Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.  Not being in town, they are at a disadvantage compared with local buyers who are lined up to personally view homes ...
