WHOOAHHH!!! What a journey. I am PROUD of this one. 🙌🏡💪

My listing at 2124 Wood Stork Avenue just SOLD for FULL asking price — $479,900 CASH. 🔥

Sounds easy, right? Hold your horses… 😅

The moment we got Wood Stork under contract, the clock started ticking because my sellers also needed to BUY a home FAST — and Wood Stork had to close first before they could finance the next one.

So we got to work immediately and looked at about 12 homes in 1 day before finally finding the right one. ✅

I got my clients under contract on 124 Santorini Ct and negotiated:
🔥 $15K off the purchase price
🛋️ Furniture included
📄 Sale of their home contingency
🏦 Financing contingency
⏰ Extended 45-day closing
🔑 Early occupancy agreement as backup protection

Thankfully, we never had to use the backup plan because everything came together flawlessly. 🙏

This was NOT easy. Between both transactions we had:
• 3 buyers (1 out of town)
• 4 sellers (2 located out of state)
• 2 title companies
• One rockstar lender behind the scenes

Huge thank you to my go-to mortgage broker and friend Fred Wilkinson for getting this loan approved in RECORD time — Almost 3 weeks ahead of closing. Incredible work.

Some people think I gain something by recommending him — and honestly, I do… and so do my clients. We ALL win with a good lender who knows what he’s doing, follows through, communicates, and gets the job done. 👏 No BS.

Also thankful for the two agents on the other side who worked WITH everyone instead of against everyone. Smooth deals happen when everyone focuses on helping clients win.

Best part?
🏡 Wood Stork closed at 8:30 AM
🔑 Santorini closed at NOON

Seamless transition. A LOT of behind-the-scenes work went into making this happen, and I’m extremely proud of this one.

My clients have now sold TWO homes with me and bought THREE homes with me. That trust means everything, and I never take it lightly.

WE DID IT!!! 💪🏡❤️🙌

Once upon a time,

There was a property at 2501 Deer Run Rd that buyers didn’t quite appreciate.

1.31 acres in the heart of St. Augustine…
A fixer-upper… and to many, that’s all it was.

We had plenty of activity and yes, a lot of offers. But not serious enough.

Prospects walked away… unsure, unconvinced, thinking there was something better out there… or that this one would always be around if they changed their mind.

Until one buyer saw it for what it truly was.
Not perfect… but a gem.

They stepped up, understood the value, and we went under contract.

And just like that… everything changed.

The same ones who passed?
Now they were back.
“Wait!! I want it, I'll give you full price. Cash. No questions asked. Sell it to me please”
“I’m ready NOW.”

But timing matters.
And by then… it was already too late.

Some things don’t wait around to be reconsidered.

Funny how value becomes crystal clear…
right after it’s no longer yours. This little cottage it's about to get a beautiful make over.

Just Sold! 🎉

4129 Serena Circle | Vista Cove Condos | St. Augustine

Another great opportunity working with a buyer and helping make this move happen smoothly from contract to closing in just 21 days.

Vista Cove Condos is a solidly built gated community in the heart of St. Augustine VA and FHA approved a rare find for a condo.

Located along the marsh and river views, this community offers:
• Two pools
• Fitness center
• Nature walking trails
• Reasonable HOA fees
• Peaceful well-kept surroundings

All of this played a key role in why the new owner chose to call this place home.

This was a clean seamless VA transaction from start to finish. Thank you for trusting me with this process. I am so happy you reached out and I wish you nothing but great moments ahead in your new home.

Another smooth closing another happy homeowner 🎉
