We're proud to sponsor this series at Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (SPAR)! This is the last session, and a great one to attend!

TONIGHT! Join us on Wednesday, August 19 at 6:00 PM for the final installment of our PAST Forward Summer Preservation Series, Presented by The Historic Collective At Compass - Navigating the COA Process, featuring speakers from the City of Jacksonville Historic Preservation Section.

From foundations to roofs and decades of system renovations, historic properties can be hard to understand, leaving many historic home- and business-owners with questions about how best to complete necessary renovations while still maintaining their property's historic charm and adhering to historic district guidelines. Both residential and commercial renovations within Historic Districts of Jacksonville require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). In this workshop, representatives from the City of Jacksonville, Florida - Government Historic Preservation Section will discuss the process for obtaining a COA and walk you through the application steps, including what requires a COA and what does not, and how to be most efficient with your time when it comes to renovating a historic property.

Admission to this workshop is free, and all are welcome. See you tonight!

Avondale is known for tree lined streets, diversity of architecture including Mediterranean mansions and Craftsman bungalows, and a walkable shopping district along St. Johns Avenue. It's one of Jacksonville's most sought after historic neighborhoods, and for good reason.

If Avondale is on your radar, we'd love to show you around.

Real estate in Jacksonville's historic neighborhoods requires more than just knowing the listings.

It takes relationships with contractors who understand old homes, lenders familiar with historic financing, and a genuine track record in these specific neighborhoods. That's what 25 plus years in this market gets you.

If you're ready to buy or sell, let's have a conversation.

Selling a historic home comes with a lot of questions. What needs repairing before listing, how to price it correctly, what buyers in this market are actually looking for. We walk every first time seller through all of it, step by step.

If you're thinking about listing, let's set up a time to talk: https://thehistoriccollective.com/sell-with-us/

Something worth knowing if you own or are considering a historic home in Jacksonville: exterior changes in preservation districts typically require review before work begins. It sounds like a hurdle, but it's also what protects the character that makes these neighborhoods so desirable.

We help clients understand this process from day one.
