My wife and I work together as Buyer Agents in the Jacksonville, St Augustine & Orange Park Real Estate Markets... We have been truly blessed to be joined by a wonderful team of Buyer Specialists who spend 99% of their work days assisting buyers.

To be successful Jacksonville Realtors we all know we must be available when our clients need help so we ALL personally sacrifice to wrap our lives around our client's needs...and this dedication has allowed us to help hundreds of families to find the right place to call "HOME." Click here to see what others have had to say about our team's heart & dedication.

We are experienced in most loan programs & can help make sure you understand the pros/cons of each option so YOU can make informed decisions. For all of you 1st Timers we understand 1st Time Buyer Programs too and they still exist!!. They generally come with FREE $$ to assist with the down payment & closing costs. There are still a couple of 100% Financing options available such as VA Loans or USDA Loans in parts of St Johns County or Southern Clay County. Military Members may even qualify for a one year extension of the Home Buyer Tax Credit. We are only a text, email or phone call away and would enjoy joining in your home hunting if you would allow us to. :-)
