People come to Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach and Yulee, Florida, for a myriad of reasons, but they stay for the people. You won’t find a friendlier bunch of folks. They have a way of making strangers into friends and newcomers into welcome members of the community.

I can say this with certainty because I’ve been both a stranger and a newcomer here. You see, my wife, Sara, and I are natives of Wisconsin. And although we love our home state, we’d had our fill of shoveling snow. So we searched the Internet for our ideal relocation spot in the south.

This may be what you’re doing right now. If so, you’ll appreciate our story. I have relatives in Georgia and Florida, and online Sara and I found a number of places near them that sounded interesting. Armed with our list, we spent the next several weeks visiting Alabama and Georgia and then drove down to Florida. We went to all the towns we’d selected online. But to our dismay, we discovered everything that glitters on the Internet is not gold. Nothing was as it had appeared. Even the attraction of family nearby didn’t lessen our disappointment.

Road weary and disheartened, we turned back to Wisconsin. Then, on I-95 we saw the sign. “Fernandina Beach 10 Miles.” I glanced at Sara. “Let’s take a look. At least there will be a beach.”

Ten miles later, we drove into town. Three days later, we bought our home.

Fernandina Beach turned out to be exactly what we wanted. It’s a quaint seaport village with historic downtown buildings. And there’s a little winding road that goes through downtown all the way to the marina where the great shops and restaurants are and where the shrimp boats and yachts are moored. Read more...

As a REALTOR® who enjoys helping buyers and sellers from all stages and walks of life, including first-time buyers, I'm happy to report that the pleasure of coastal living in one of the Amelia Island or Yulee, Florida, homes for sale is not reserved for the wealthy. With the area’s abundant natural beauty as a backdrop, even modest homes are made beautiful. And the endless blue skies, beach combing, ocean swimming, dolphin watching, surf fishing and magnificent sunsets are available to all.

Buying a home is a legal transaction, and the seller’s interests are protected by the listing agent. As the buyer, doesn’t it make good business sense to have a real estate professional safeguarding your interests too? I think so. And best of all, it doesn’t cost you a thing when I represent you as your buyer’s agent. Instead, it may save you a lot.

You hear about real estate transactions falling apart on their way to closing. Often, the difference between a successful transaction and a failed one is due to the one “I” dotted or the “T” crossed, or the one final push to iron out the kinks so that everyone is happy. When you have me as your buyer’s agent, I pay close attention to the details. And I persevere in negotiating and protecting your transaction all the way to the closing table and the moment you’re handed your new home’s keys.

When it comes to finding you the right house, I have the benefit of 11 years of detective experience. I’m trained to dig and prod until I find the solution. Add to that a decade’s experience as a real estate broker. I’m adept at finding a good value that’s a Read more...
