Buying a home in St. Augustine can feel exciting and stressful at the same time, especially when inventory is tight or competition is high.
My job is to help you cut through the noise.
We start by talking through what you actually want, not just bedrooms and square footage, but lifestyle, timing, budget comfort, and long-term plans.
From there, I help you evaluate homes honestly, understand the numbers, and make strong offers that align with your situation.
Whether you’re relocating, buying your next home in St. John's County, a first-time home buyer, or purchasing a second property, you’ll have a steady, informed guide in your corner as you navigate Northeast Florida's coastal market
Bailey was awesome to work with! She truly listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time showing me homes outside of my budget. She was efficient, professional, and found the perfect home for me quickly. I highly recommend giving her the opportunity to help anyone looking for a house in the St. Augustine/Jacksonville area, you won’t be disappointed!

There are three main upfront costs buyers should plan for when purchasing a home: the binder deposit (typically about 1% of the purchase price and credited back at closing), the home inspection, and the appraisal, which usually costs between $500 and $700. These costs are paid in addition to your down payment, which is determined with your lender and typically ranges from 3% to 20%, depending on the loan and your goals.
From offer to closing, most purchases take about 30–45 days. Finding the right home can take more or less time depending on your goals and the market—we move at a pace that makes sense for you.
I am happy to start the conversation before pre-approval, but for you to start your home search, I reccomend getting it in place. Talking with a lender is free and incredibly helpful. You’ll learn how much you’re approved for, what your estimated monthly payment will be, and how much you’ll need for your down payment — all of which makes home shopping clearer and more confident. I'm here with you every step of the way with great local lender referrals if needed.
