Tammie had a plan. Sell her home in Midway, take the equity she’d built, and put it toward a new home on her family’s land.

So that’s what we did.

We got her exactly the number she wanted for it. And we didn’t stop there. We brought the buyers too. A family who walked through it and knew right away this was the one.

One sale, two happy families, and Tammie one step closer to the home she’s been picturing.

This is the part of the job that sticks with you.

If you’ve got a home you’ve been sitting on, wondering if the timing works or if the numbers even add up, save this one for when you’re ready to find out. Follow for more North Florida moves like Tammie’s.

The National MagLab in Tallahassee holds the strongest continuous magnet on the planet, and locals swear it does one more thing the scientists won’t confirm.

Ask around town why the big storms always seem to miss us, and someone will point you toward a quiet building off Paul Dirac Drive in southwest Tallahassee.

Inside is a 45 tesla giant. Twenty two feet tall, 35 tons, four miles of superconducting wire chilled to 456 degrees below zero. Scientists fly in from all over the world to use it for free, chasing breakthroughs in medicine, energy, and materials nobody has invented yet.

But every hurricane season, when a storm drifts off at the last second and spares us, people around here give the credit to the magnets.

The scientists just smile. A magnet moving a hurricane, they say, would be like a desk fan redirecting a freight train.

Seventeen world records to its name. Steering storms isn’t one of them.

I’m Martin, a Tallahassee local and Realtor who can’t get enough of stories like this one. If you know a hidden gem or piece of local history I should be covering, drop it in the comments. And if this one surprised you, give it a repost and a follow.

Someone you know has roots in one of these.

Some of these churches were holding services before Florida was even a state. Ten of the oldest in town, from Trinity back in 1824 to New Mount Zion in 1890.

A few you’ve probably passed without knowing the story: the oldest public building in Tallahassee still in use, a country church going back to 1829, a congregation started by freedmen in 1865, and the church that helped organize the 1956 bus boycott.

Send this to someone whose family goes back here, save it for yourself, and follow for more Tallahassee history.

Rates just hit their highest point of the year. So is now a rough time to buy near Tallahassee?

Short answer: that scary headline is a national one, on national prices, and we are not a national-priced market. A typical home across Florida is running about $425,000 right now. In Leon County it’s closer to $370,000, and Wakulla, Jefferson and Gadsden all sit lower still. The same rate stings a lot less on a smaller price, and the payment follows the price.

You’re also not stuck with today’s rate forever. Plenty of local buyers are getting in now with a buydown, an adjustable loan, or seller-paid help.

Know someone sitting on the fence because of the rate news? Send them this.

Save it for your “should we wait?” talk, and follow for the real local picture instead of the scary national one.
