Homegrown Real Estate

I’ve been working in real estate for a long time.

Long enough to know that houses change, prices change, and markets change — but people don’t change all that much.

They still want a place that feels right.
They still want someone they can trust.
And they still want to feel confident about big decisions.

That’s what this blog is about.

Why I Started Homegrown Real Estate

I created Homegrown Real Estate as a place to share what I see every day in Crestview and the surrounding Northwest Florida communities.

Not in a fancy way.
Not in a salesy way.

Just in a real, honest, helpful way.

This is where I’ll talk about:

• Homes and neighborhoods

• Land, farms, and country property

• What to watch for when buying

• What matters when selling

• And how to make decisions that feel right long-term

What “Homegrown” Means to Me

I’m a Northwest Florida native. You can learn more about my story and how I got here.

This is home to me.

I know these roads, these neighborhoods, these small communities, and these people. I’ve watched this area grow and change over decades — and I’ve helped a whole lot of families find their place in it.

Homegrown means:

• Rooted in the community

• Built on experience

• Guided by honesty

• And grounded in relationships

Who This Blog Is For

This space is for:

• Families buying their first home

• Folks upgrading or downsizing

• People looking for land or country property

• Buyers searching for a quiet retreat

• And anyone who wants straight answers from someone who knows this area

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

How I Work

I believe in communication.

I believe in staying on top of details.

And I believe in doing what I say I’m going to do.

My job isn’t just to help you buy or sell — it’s to make sure you feel supported all the way through the process.
