  Advantages of Selling Your Pace, Florida Home in the Autumn Months Autumn in Pace, Florida, offers a unique and often underestimated opportunity for homeowners looking to sell. While many assume spring is the ideal season, the fall months present distinct advantages that can help you secure a successful sale. First, autumn provides a less crowded market. Many sellers list their homes in spring and summer, increasing competition. By selling in the fall, your home can stand out to motivated buyers actively searching. Fewer listings mean your property gets more attention. Additionally, shopping in autumn is often more severe for buyers. They may be looking to move before the holiday season or need to relocate for work before the end of the year. These buyers are focused and ready to make...

Open Kitchen Design … Hot or Not?Kitchens are the showpiece of a home, while the cooking is getting pushed behind closed doors.The kitchen is the heart of the home and has become a showplace for its best design. Because of that, fewer homeowners want to get it dirty. Open-layout kitchens, however, can put messes on full display. So that’s why more kitchen remodels are closing off certain aspects of a kitchen—including the cooking.The addition of the “butler’s pantry”—or what may become known as the “mini kitchen”—is where most of the work gets done. These enlarged pantries are outfitted with appliances, countertops, and cabinets to allow more of the kitchen’s cooking and messes to be hidden behind closed doors.Check out these hidden kitchen areas in the show homes at Homerama 2024 in Lo...

I am Charles Stallions, CRS, an Investor/ Broker in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Buying a home is Gulf Breeze, which is an investment for your family's future, and I will walk you through the process as long as it takes. Since 1995, I have written over 151 things that have come up in the thousands of homes I have sold, and I go down the list each time I sell a home. The latest is wire fraud, and just when you don't think it can happen, THINK AGAIN. I just heard of yet another of my fellow realtor clients falling victim, including the title company that an attorney owns. I check and recheck to avoid these things. There are also many other things, such as what stays and goes with the house. A simple process ensures this, but many agents forget it.  Title insurance, surveys, and termites on a cas...
