Welcome to my Blog about St. George Island Real Estate
This blog includes points of consideration for both buyers and sellers that I have found important in my 33 years of island real estate experience. I give my views of the market and where it's heading and why. I highlight listings and trends, and spotlight the community. If you have questions, please send them in. Thanks for joining me!
