As we move into the end of year holidays, I’d like to take a moment and offer a few insights on what has occurred during this past year as well as what to expect in the coming year:

New website – Our new website has made a significant impact on our business.  The look and feel as well as new tools for our visitors have helped us maintain our #1 status in the search engines.

New team members – Our growth has continued through the year by adding more Panama City buyer specialists to assist our valued customers with their Panama City Real Estate needs. Each of  our team members has unique specialties which enable us to assign the most appropriate agent to work with our customers for optimum efficiency.

Our current roster includes:

• Jennifer Mackay – Team leader, Broker Associate
• Kayla Davidson – Office Manager and administration and soon to be licensed Buyer specialist
• Brenda Rutherford – Buyers Specialist
• Gayle Blanton – Buyers Specialist
• Chuck Sisk – Buyers Specialist
• Robert Britt – Buyers Specialist
• Jessie Cochran – I.T. and Team corporate executive officer

We look forward to adding at least one more licensed specialist in the next several weeks so look forward to that announcement coming soon.

Condo sales – Panama City Beach Condo sales remained very strong through out the year.  In large part due to the price decreases we’ve experienced from our fledgling economy.

1031 Exchanges – We have helped more investors with their 1031 Exchanges than in previous years.  Both experienced and new investors taking advantage of the low condo prices are in need of these services as we move towards the close of the year and they upgraded their investment portfolio’s.

Website expansion – We’ve once again upgraded our website to provide the finest most technologically advanced featured website for our customers.  From fully customized searches in residential and commercial sales and leasing as well as rental market searches and services.

Customer Service – We’ve managed to help more customers this years with their Panama City Real Estate needs than previous years.  In large part our continued success and growth is due to our team members and their diligence in helping our customers not only find the right property for their needs, but also negotiating the contracts and making sure the agents from other offices provide the information necessary to bring these sales to closure.

Short sales and Foreclosures – This year has seen more of these types of sales than ever before.  Unfortunately, due to our struggling economy many investors and others lost their primary homes and investments.  We worked very hard this year with many of our struggling customers to help them either hold on to their properties and homes, or sell them at the highest price we could in today’s market.

Relocation expansion – We’ve been able to help more relocating families and individuals this year thanks in large part to our continued relocation expansion.  Our network of real estate associates has increased significantly this year and we now have associates in every state of the U.S. and much of Canada.  Our military relocation assistance program continues to help incoming and outgoing military families and individuals with their real estate needs and we look forward to working with them and are proud to assist them.

We look forward to working with all our customers in the coming years and assisting them with their investments and purchasing their home in paradise.

What we’d like to accomplish in the coming year

As mentioned, we are still looking to add another agent this year.  In addition, since Kayla will be moving into a full time real estate agent position we will need to hire a new administrator for the team.

As always our continued growth and success is measured by our satisfied customers.  We look forward to working with many new and existing customers to help them realize their real estate dreams and aspirations in the coming year.

Podcasts and articles – Look for more award winning articles and podcasts from the team as we continue to expand our presence in the world wide real estate market.

Webinars – We have been working in the background to facilitate this new feature for our customers.  Look for webinars on various topics such as these and many others to come:

• First time home buying
• Condo buying
• Commercial investment strategy
• Leases – Residential and commercial negotiations

There are many other accomplishments and tools we look forward to providing our customers in the coming year.  We’ll have to keep a few of them quiet for the time being, but look for these announcements coming soon.

Happy Holidays to all.  My team and I wish you a happy, healthy, safe holiday season. Best wishes to all.
