You are very sweet Heart (love your name
). You will love 30A. As you found, it's not just a place - it's a "community" of wonderful and diverse people.
Regarding the condos at Blue Mountain Beach or any community. All of the information that one needs is out there somewhere and now more than ever, with so many developers going bankrupt and so many homes going into foreclosure - it's more important than ever to know what you're getting into. There's
many things that can affect the enjoyment of one's property and potential buyers should know them.
I made a conscious decision to be an exclusive buyer's agent and not take any listings. In that way, I have no responsibilities to any seller and I am free to disclose as much information as needed to help the buyer make an informed decision. My agents have no financial interest in selling any
particular property so they are equally motivated to show all properties regardless of who has the listing. They give "on demand" attention and I do the research and investment consulting. It works and professional listing agents such as those on this board understand that it's not personal. We're both trying to do the best we can for our clients.
In a previous life, I was an investigator so I am just very good at finding information that many can't find and I use that expertise to create a profile of the seller and their potential motivations. Before we placed a contract on the Grayton home, we had a very good picture of the sellers net worth, history and motivations for selling the home and how much he could bear as far as a loss went. I don't like that sellers are losing money but it's my job to do everything I can to make sure that my client doesn't.
Blue Mountain isn't devastated but unfortunately it was a little late coming into the market so a lot of people bought at the top. I did confirm that the
commercial area is bank owned. In fact, it is now available as a
bank owned property or REO. I believe that it will come back once someone comes in and develops that commercial area.
Enjoy sowal and let me know when you're settled. We'll get together.
