Case Study: A Buyer’s Pursuit of The Ideal Vacation Home (How It Came Together)

 Case Study: A Buyer’s Pursuit of The Ideal Vacation Home (How It Came Together) 

The buyers of 55 Brenda Lane started their journey to ownership like many others who invest in their first home on Scenic 30A. They heard about the area through friends in Atlanta and visited a couple of times, falling in love with all that 30A has to offer. The beautiful scenery, white sandy beaches, crystal clear emerald green waters, coastal dune lakes, bikeable boardwalks, quaint and unique beach towns, thousands of acres of state forests, and lack of high-rise condos lining the beach, all play into what makes this area so special to so many. At the beginning of our search, they were set on buying in one of the communities they loved visiting, such as Rosemary…

Case Study - An Insider’s Look at a Record Sale in Alys Beach

Often, as a real estate broker we move through transactions like soldiers.  We do what we are trained to do:  solve problems, put out fires and (hopefully) make it look easy and all just part of the drill.  In my years of helping people buy and sell their properties, many of those experiences get tucked away when the property closes.  It is rare that I take the time to journal about the experiences that we have with the people we serve and the circumstances that take place along the way.  Some can be difficult, some painful, and some not-so-much.  What I can tell you is that they don’t all go so well and that this business is not for the faint of heart. In many industries, case studies are done to tell the story to readers who just might want to hear…
