Christina Meinen, Buyer's Agent and Realtor with Destin Real Estate Company.

Creating wealth through real estate investing is the name of the game and the buzzer is sounding NOW! Who do you have on your team?

The buyer’s agent is a no-cost tool that everyone should use. Whether you are looking to buy this week, next month, or next year, it is never too early to gain from the benefit of your own buyer’s agent.

 

Specializing as a buyer’s agent in Florida along Scenic Highway 30A, Sandestin, and Destin for the last five years, Christina Meinen knows how to navigate the rough waters of successful real estate investing. Christina’s passion gives a refreshing spin on real estate investing and her commitment to finding each buyer the best deal to fit their wants and needs.

 

Christina moved to the Emerald Coast to help buyers invest just two days after graduating from Mississippi State with a degree in Real Estate and Mortgage Appraisal Financing. Her zeal paid off as she quickly established herself as one of the area’s up and coming Realtors and her sales volume has steadily increased ever since. Last year Christina sold $8.9 million in real estate. By April 10 of this year, she has already sold $4.5 million – with an additional $5.6 million under contract as of May 1.

 

Recently married in July 2008, Christina changed her last name from McAllister to Meinen. Not only did she marry her bestfriend, but her husband Andy is now part of the team and his former journalism/Internet marketing background has been very beneficial in moving Christina’s career to the next level.

 

To ease your search and not waste your valuable time, Christina offers virtual window shopping right from the comfort of a private conference room along 30A. It is a great way to preview properties with Christina on a flat screen TV to grasp the feel for interiors of homes, areas to consider, and price ranges available before you head off on your tour of properties together. This will help leave time for you to hit the beach!

 

Keep a lookout for Christina’s new real estate Web site, which will be up and running by mid summer. Plus, find her via social networking on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These assets are crucial to keep Christina competitive and on the cutting edge of her industry.

 

Honesty, communication and professionalism are the hallmarks that Christina stands by. She’ll guide you through the inventory of condos, homes and properties now available along the Emerald Coast. Knowledge is key. What is the rental history of a home? How does a particular property compare to what’s around it? What area should you buy in? How can you trade properties and get a break on taxes?

 

Christina’s knowledge and expertise will ease your search and help you pinpoint your ideal piece of property along the worlds’ most beautiful beaches. From looking through beach homes, to making an offer, to cutting through the red tape, Christina will be there for you. She’ll push for the very best deal and make sure you know exactly what is what with your choice of vacation real estate.

 

The shimmering sugar sands and the calm emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico have lured many from the hustle and bustle of urban areas. The area’s beachfront communities are as unique as each buyer. Why get lost in the haze of inventory in Rosemary, Alys Beach, WaterSound, Seaside or WaterColor when you can have a professional Realtor by your side protecting your interests and assuring that you’re getting the best deal possible and getting shown all that is available.

Seaside, Florida

 

Seaside is a walkable neighborhood along Scenic Highway 30A in South Walton that is perfect for second home buyers or investment property.

Seaside is a walkable neighborhood along Scenic Highway 30A in South Walton that is perfect for second home buyers or investment property.

 

Idyllic Seaside with its white picket fences and walkable streets is the birthplace of New Urbanism. A wide sugary stretch of white sand runs along Seaside. The town is anchored by a vast central square that is filled with quaint shops and tasty eateries.

 

Seaside is so perfect that the Jim Carry movie The Truman Show was filmed in the town. The architecture brings narrow streets and tall house together and is perfect for an evening stroll or an afternoon bike ride. Gravel paths crisscross the town in a patchwork of hidden scrub brush lined lanes. The homes were designed with deep roof overhangs to help block the afternoon sun, long porches to capture the salty gulf breezes and open living areas to bring families and friends together.


Several community pools and tennis courts, along with bike rentals make this one of the complete townships along the Emerald Coast.
