My real estate business is focused on selling homes to boaters along the Gulf Coast of Florida. I know the depths of the canals and access to the Gulf of Mexico because I boat and fish along the Gulf Coast of Florida and I live in Hernando Beach FL. What is Indirect vs Direct Access? Marked vs unmarked channels? This is the kind of information that few real estate agents know, and you can not find on Zillow about this area.
I was born in Tampa, and I have lived my life along the Gulf Coast of Florida fishing/boating in these waters. My family has had a fishing camp at the mouth of the Suwannee River and Gulf of Mexico for over 100 years. My mother was born in Mayo FL and my grandmother was born in Bell FL. My dad grew up on St Pete Beach.
I know and understand the Gulf Coast of Florida like few other real estate agents could even imagine. I live it and I sell it!
Most people don’t realize that Zillow is simply copying the information that other real estate agents put in MLS unfortunately, many times those agents are providing in accurate information because they simply just don’t know any better. I am a hyper local agent that lives in Hernando Beach. The reality is Zillow has no clue if the house has direct access or indirect Gulf of Mexico access. They are simply relying on the information published in MLS that may or may not be accurate. The biggest mistake you can make is to work with somebody that doesn’t live on the water in our community.
My personal real estate expertise is along the gulf coast of Florida from Bradenton, Florida to the Steinhatchee river. I’m happy to share with you the amazing places to live along the stretch of Florida on and off the water.
In today’s real estate market place both buyers and sellers have the ability to look at what is for sale in the market and what homes similar to theirs have sold for so you cannot assume that the person that you’re dealing with does not have a critical information they need to know about the value of their home.
The reality is many buyers of real estate do not have a clue what they are doing they will get advise from many people during the transaction. I just suggest who you listen to and why they are giving you that advise think is that what the contract says?
There is a huge difference when getting a mortgage between a direct mortgage lender that loans money from their company and a mortgage broker that is farming out your loan to several lenders. The direct lender has complete control of the loan, the processor, the underwriter, and the closing process. A mortgage broker has no control over that lender; they are at the mercy of a third party that may or may not perform on time or with any predictable standards. The cost of using a mortgage broker is often higher than a direct lender, so before you assume that a mortgage broker is a better deal, you may want to check with direct lenders.

I live the Florida Gulf Coast Lifestyle. I believe that being open, honest, friendly, and relaxed is the best way to make friends and sell real estate! I live here. You will see me on my boat, at the tiki bar, and in the great places to eat. I want to sit with you and drink a beer and laugh. I live here. It’s a personal relationship, not just some business deal.
