Saint Augustine Real Estate by Elke McMenemy, Saint Augustine homes for sale, relocation, German, Broker-Associate

Welcome to my Saint Augustine real estate site. The Oldest City has been 'home' since 1991, and I have assisted home buyers and sellers in St. Augustine and the Northeast Florida area since 1992. As a Realtor®, I abide by the strict Realtor® Code Of Ethics. I am proud to have been a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) since 1995. Only 5% of more than a million Realtors® throughout the United States have earned this prestigious designation, which is deemed by many to represent the 'cream of the crop' in the business of residential real estate. As an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®), I offer single agency as a buyer's agent on non-inhouse listings and act as transaction broker on inhouse listings. I also take real estate listings as a transaction broker. And when it comes to listing properties, I can offer sellers the benefits inherent in the training I received in order to 'stage a home to sell'. As a Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), I can help local buyers, as well as out-of-state and international buyers, decide whether a property will be the right fit for their current and future needs. Having met the education and experience requirements for the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation makes me well-versed in the intricacies of working with buyers and sellers of different nationalities and backgrounds, and provides me with connections worldwide. Having lived and owned homes in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, I am especially familiar with the Canadian real estate market and industry practices. In today's global economic climate, it's more important than ever to keep up with what's going on not only in our own backyard, but also in other parts of the world.

My site offers tips on choosing the "right" property, making an offer, negotiating, financing, mortgage rates, moving, and everything involved in making an informed real estate decision in today's market. So, whether you're a first-time buyer with limited resources, a retiree who's looking for answers to investment questions and retirement living information as well as other seniors issues, or whether you are moving to the area or out-of-state, simply moving up or sizing down, interested in 1031 tax deferred exchanges , how to acquire a HUD home or benefit from the Good Neighbor Next Door Program, or you are in the hunt for foreclosure properties, you've come to the right place!
