Jeff Galloway Realty to Take Part in Florida Open House April 10-11

Jeff Galloway Realty will be offering clients the opportunity to reach dozens of prospective buyers in a single weekend and prospective customers the opportunity to tour a number of properties as part of the Florida Open House Weekend sponsored by the 115,000-plus member Florida Realtors.

On Saturday and Sunday, April 10-11, Jeff Galloway Realty will conduct open houses at a number of homes in the Franklin County area. Blue balloons, featuring the Realtor "R" in white, will denote those homes that are part of the statewide open house campaign. Balloons will be on display simultaneously at open houses from the Panhandle to Key West.

The Florida Open House Weekend comes just before the April 30, 2010, deadline for the federal homebuyer tax credit. Homes need to be under contract by April 30, 2010, and closed by June 30, 2010, to take advantage of up to $8,000 in tax credits.

"This event offers people a convenient way to see as many homes as they wish in one weekend and gives our members a chance to be part of this massive effort to match buyers to their sellers," says Jeff.

Jeff and his staff feel that the weekend will be a fun way to attract buyers and help them learn more about what is available in the local housing market.

The Forgotten Coast

Written by The Local Resident

The Forgotten Coast? A few years ago, maybe. Now our area of the Florida panhandle, dubbed the Forgotten Coast a little over a decade ago, is far from forgotten and most certainly not forgettable. The Forgotten Coast encompasses some of Wakulla County to the east, all of Franklin County and some of Gulf County to the west. The communities of St. Marks, Alligator Point, St. James, Lanark, Carrabelle, Eastpoint and Apalachicola, are strung along the coast with the inhabited barrier islands, Dog Island and St. George Island as well as the uninhabited Little St. George and St. Vincent Island to the south and Indian Pass and Cape San Blas to the west. Each community has its own distinct appeal, each is an autonomous community but all together they make up a part of Florida that is quickly becoming the desired destination, both for vacationing and for relocation, of many people.
