Jeff Galloway is not your typical real estate agent. First, he sells more real estate in a year than most Realtors do in a lifetime. In 2005 that total was nearly $189 million in gross sales---more than many entire real estate offices post in a year. That’s $15,750,000 in sales per month---what would be considered a very good year of production for most agents. Add to the mix the fact that Jeff Galloway is only in his sixth year of real estate sales and he’s located in a very unlikely region of the country to post these numbers. The result is a success story of phenomenal proportions. Jeff Galloway's office is located on the small Florida island of St. George, an area that bills itself as the “Forgotten Coast” of Florida. Seems that someone forgot to tell Jeff Galloway. His 2004 sales were even more impressive at a quarter of a billion dollars, making him one of the most successful Real Estate agents in the United States. Galloway beat out agents with far more experience and in regions of the country like California and New York where multi-million dollar sales prices are the norm rather than the exception. “I absolutely love what I do,” said Jeff Galloway. “It’s the best living I could imagine, especially when I help someone invest in real estate and see that investment pay off heavily a few years later when we resell the property.” For more information on Jeff Galloway or St. George Island, call toll free at 866-927-2596 or visit www.beachesbyjeff.com to conduct an online search of available properties or to request a free relocation package.

I’ve been involved in the real estate business in one form or another almost all of my life. My involvement in real estate on and around St George Island began in the late 90’s. I am a pilot with Delta Air Lines and have had the good fortune of seeing properties of all kinds all over the nation. This has helped me to understand just exactly how unique St George Island and the surrounding area is.
I first met Jeff Galloway while we were both building homes on the island. In subsequent years, Jeff handled all of my real estate transactions…some years entailing many millions of dollars. Jeff and I soon realized that we had a kinship that has since matured to one of a close and trusting friendship. I came to work for Jeff as a result. We have similar styles with real estate transactions and the ability to make it happen for both the buyer and seller.
If I can be of service in your search for property along the “Forgotten Coast,” please feel free to contact me.

Making An Offer >Bargaining
You found a house that seems perfect and you really love it. The chemistry is there, and the price is right. If you are like many buyers, you start off by asking the real estate agent if the sellers will take less than they are asking.
A real estate agent doesn't know what the sellers' bottom price is. The sellers often don't know themselves until they get an offer. In many cases, the price is negotiable, but the only way to test it is to make the sellers a written offer to accept or counter.
Attractive, well-priced homes usually sell quickly in any market. If you get involved in offers and counter offers, another buyer could come in with a better offer while you are negotiating back and forth. If you cannot qualify for financing at the asking price and you are willing to risk losing the house, you can make a lower offer. But if it will break your heart to lose a home you really love and you can afford it, it may be better to avoid bargaining and simply pay the asking price.
