The Headline in Sunday's paper read something like this:
Watson Realty Welcomes Marjorie Taylor
WAtson Realty Corporation is proud to announce that Marjorie Taylor has joined the award winning St. Augus
tine Beach office.
Marjorie brings a wealth of knowledge with her to Watson. Her varied real estate career experience spans over 27 years and around the world. From working with Fortune 500 clients locating co-ops in Manhattan, NY to assisting embassy dignitaries find the ideal property in Rome, Italy. Locally Marjorie has been instrumental in sales and development of some of the areas largest communities such as Marsh Creek Country Club, SeaGrove at St. Augustine Beach and Fleming Island Plantation.
Having been a real estate broker since the 1980's she has in-depth knowledge of the communities where she works. Her goal is to match every client with a neighborhood that suits their heart and a home that suits their budget.
According to Taylor "It's not enough to know about St. Augustine and it's neighborhoods. It's not enough to know how to write a great contract. Being successful real estate agent means being truly devoted to the people-to-people aspects of the process - listening, negotiating and communicating. It also means preserving and adapting"
Constantly changing and adjusting her business model, Taylor embraces technology. She utilizes all the resources available, particularly the Internet. E-Markeing is extremely important in today's internet-savy world, as more and more home buyers surf the web to view home listing.
She believes that an agent MUST understand and adapt to this significant change in how people review potential properties for sale. If not, they will be missing a large part of the real estate buying market.
Taylor is always available for her clients, please text or call her direct line 904-591-9121 or send an e-mail to Marjorie@MarjorieTaylor.net."
It was this article, in the St. Augustine Record that prompted a retired IT professional's call to me to list his home. Who says that Newspaper Advertising is dead?

"If you could live in any state in the country, except the state you live in now, what state would you choose to live in?"
This question was asked by Harris Interactive® as they conducted a nationwide survey of 2,694 adults 
conducted online between August 7 and 13, 2007. The result of this survey is known as the The Harris Poll® Florida, ranking in the top 5, is one of the most popular places people would choose to live.
Why is that? I know why I choose to live and work in St. Augustine Florida. St. Augustine offers:
Beautiful Beaches - St. Augustine and St. Johns County features forty-two miles of expansive beaches. It's a natural playground for most every water enthusiast. Boating, surfing, fishing and jet-skiing are popular pastimes in St. Augustine.
Fabulous weather - You can count on St. Augustine weather to be near perfect year round. Because of its coastal location, St. Augustine experiences temperatures that are higher in the winters and cooler in the summers.
Friendly business climate - St. Augustine in St. Johns County offers the lowest property tax and sales tax rates in the region. Local economic development incentives, together with our expedited permitting, and outstanding community services, help to make companies prosper.
No state income tax - Keep more of your money...Florida is one of the few states in the country that does not have a state income tax. In fact, the Florida Constitution explicitly prohibits a personal income tax.
It's no wonder that St. Augustine's combination of temperate climate, outstanding recreational amenities and economic opportunity is an attractive draw to those relocating to the south.

Today's St. Augustine Record - Front Page News - "Home Sales Rebound". What music to this agents ears! Good news about the real estate market on the front page.
The Record also reported "this recent activity comes from low mortgage rates and low home prices. But David A. Denslow, a professor and economist with the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research, offered another reason. He said square-foot prices for homes in St. Augustine are selling for 60 percent of the national average."
There are a few other factors that may explain our increase such as concerns about investing assets the unsettling stock market a very cold winter up north.
Here are some stats that were cited "total residential sales countywide amounted to 249 for a total of $76.5 million. In addition, 52 condos sold for a total of $10.7 million and 77 residential lots sold for $4.8 million."
St. Augustine homes are selling 60% below the National Average? What a bargain for buyers. The combination of reasonable interest rates and great prices in our area has proved that it truly is a buyers market. Looks like the sales numbers are proving it.
This is the time of year that the Snowbirds start to return to our beautiful city and many recognize that now is the time to buy. Thank you St. Augustine Record for reporting some GOOD NEWS for a change. The buying public needs reassurance that buying a home now is a smart choice.
