Welcome toFlorida! Buying a vacation, second or retirement home is a big deal. You are selecting a home, community and possibly a club that is the best fit for you. The right decision will allow you to maximize the enjoyment of day-to-day living and ensures that you will generate those lifelong memories with friends and family members when they visit. This is an important decision that typically involves anywhere from 5% to 35% of an individual’s net worth. Given that this is such an important decision, it amazes me when very intelligent people quickly select a Realtor® with very limited knowledge of the area, clubs or communities to assist them. A Realtor® with knowledge and experience is much better equipped to help you find that perfect match. More importantly, they will know where to direct you to secure answers to your many questions. Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate has been extremely fortunate to be the number one real estate brokerage in Flagler County for the past six years* and one of the leading brokerages in Reunion for the past five years. We are sincerely appreciative of the thousands of buyers and sellers that have selected us to assist them. Success with our Customers is directly correlated to the strength of our Agents. We are very fortunate to have secured the majority of the Top Performers in the area, and they are featured in this edition. It is an exciting time. Several government and private investment projects are underway or planned, which is always a key indicator for a bright future for a community. Home construction is booming. Although prices have increased, our areas remain relatively affordable compared to other parts of Florida. Enjoy your time while visiting this great part of Florida! If you are interested in making it ‘home’, reach out to one of our Top Performing Realtors® to learn more about these great communities and clubs. Sincerely, Craig Straky Managing Broker, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate MBA, RSPS, CLHMS, E-PRO Certified Resort, Second Home and Luxury Home Marketing Specialist *On March 19, 2013, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate acquired substantially all of the assets of the brokerage operations of Luxury Team of Florida. Claim based upon combined statistics of Luxury Team of Florida (8/1/2009 through 3/18/2013) and Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate (3/19/2013 and after) based on sales volume information from Navica MLS for Flagler County in all price ranges as reported on August 11, 2015 for the period of 8/1/2009 through 8/1/2015, calculated by multiplying the number of buyer and/ or seller sides (in which Luxury Team / Coldwell Banker was involved in as a broker) by sales price.
