Don't make these insurance mistakes in Pensacola, Pace and Gulf Breeze Florida. Insuring a home for its real estate value instead of for the cost of rebuilding. With the real estate market in a slump and home prices down in parts of the country, some homeowners think they can reduce the amount of insurance on their home too, the I.I.I. says. But insurance is designed to cover the cost of rebuilding, not the sales price of a home. Make sure you have enough coverage to completely rebuild your home and replace all your belongings in the event of a disaster.

I could't sleep this morning so I got up and decided to take a trip to Pensacola Beach, it is very quiet this time of year. As I pulled my car into the parking lot by the water tower, it was like a ghost town only three count em three cars in this vast space of a parking lot. Normally you cannot find a parking space. But as I walked toward the sand there was a guy standing outside Crabs which by the way is a great place to eat and I decided to watch the waves wash up on the beach.  Ask for a waiter named Jamie if you ever get to go there he will take good care of and no you don't even have to mention my name he is just that good. I have been about a couple of dozen times and although Jamie was not always our waiter people that he waited on just seem to have a great time so we started as... 01/01/2012

The fear of registration is real.  I have it.  I know a lot of people that have it.  Its not just registering to search for properties on a website, but just about any kind of registering.  The fear of registraton has to do with what wil be coming your way after you register. I'm facing this decision right now with my new website.  I have always been one to try and have my new website reflect the things that are important to me when I visit websites; quick loading, easy to navigate, and good content.  I also don't like to register for any information.  But, our business is about converting leads, selling property, and earning a living.  So maybe I have to change my way of thinking. In order to change the public perception about the fear of registraton, maybe we as real estate profession... 11/03/2011

The lowest priced condominium on Pensacola Beach, FL used to be priced at $125,000 a couple of weeks ago.  Then about a week ago, the price dropped to $119,000 for Unit F-10 at Villas on the Gulf.  Yesterday it went under contract.  There are several reasons why this unit is under contract other than simply being the lowest priced condominium on Pensacola Beach, FL.  Some of the reasons are pretty clear on the surface, but some take a little bit of research.  The lessons learned can be valuable in any market when researching a property.  First, the more obvious ones.   1.  While this usually applies to resort properties, and in this case an island, the complex was located on the Gulf of Mexico side of our main thoroughfare Via DeLuna.  Almost all visitors and most residents prefer being... 11/03/2011

The Cost Vs Renting in Pensacola, Pace and Gulf Breeze Florida. If you are renting a home in Pensacola, Pace or Gulf Breeze Florida you are still buying a home, it is just for someone else (your landlord). Very few times and only two that I can think of can I remember renting a home. The best way I can show you that the cost of owning is better than the cost of renting is through my own story. I have six siblings and only two of own our homes and the rest have been tenants all their lives and we are all over thirty. I have listened to all the excuses "I don't have any maintence, one even loves the fact they don't cut grass. But all have spent their money purchasing their landlords some nice rental properties and they don't have any thing to show for their money or time spent on this ear... 10/25/2011

The Emerald Dolphin is conveniently located less than half a block from one of the most popular seafood restaurants on Pensacola Beach, Peg Leg Pete's Oyster Bar and Lafitte's Marina. You'll have to try the Grouper Supreme sandwich and visit the Under Where outdoor beach bar.

  Island chefs are preparing to showcase their signature dishes at the 4th Annual Taste of the Beach, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17-18, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Gulfside Pavilion on Pensacola Beach. Several years ago the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce was working with area businesses, brainstorming ways to showcase the beach businesses and extend the season. Feeling that the best time to visit the beach is during the months of September and October they hit upon the idea of having a “Taste of the Beach” here in the Pensacola area. It’s a little different than some of the other festivals in the area where “roady venders” come in and set up their trailers. Every restaurant on Pensacola Beach will be participating in a taste of Pensacola Beach. The head chef and/or the owner will be o... 09/14/2011
