Preservation is simply having the good sense to hold on to things that are well designed, that link us with our past in a meaningful way. - Richard Moe

Story time!
Laura and Dom were living on the West Coast and made a truly epic road trip looking for their new home. Spending time in many cities, trying to find the best fit for this next chapter of their lives.
Spoiler alert, they chose Jacksonville! 😍
The amazing pool home in Avondale they wanted was under contract before they were able to make an offer. But Joi stayed in touch with the agent, and when the previous deal fell apart, we were able to secure it for this truly delightful couple before it went into multiple offers. Remember to work with an agent who works for you!
And be sure to introduce yourself to Laura and Dom when you see them in the neighborhood!
@stacymatt97 Awww!! ❤️

This beautifully remodeled traditional brick ranch historic home nestled in one of Jacksonville’s most exclusive enclaves, Empire Point, went under contract so quickly we didn’t have a chance to promote it!
Congratulations to our sellers for closing out this chapter, and to the buyers who have family in the neighborhood!
Let us help you have a stress-free selling experience tailored to fit your goals.

May is National Preservation Month, a time to celebrate the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship that make historic homes so special. One of our favorite beloved Southern traditions? Haint blue ceilings.
Originating in Gullah Geechee culture, the soft blue hue was painted on porch ceilings to ward off “haints” — restless spirits who, it was believed, couldn’t cross water. The color mimicked the sky or water, tricking spirits into passing by.
Beyond folklore, haint blue served practical purposes too — deterring insects and brightening dark porch ceilings by reflecting light.
This timeless detail is still seen across the South today, preserving both cultural heritage and charm.
Do you have a haint blue ceiling? Tag us — we’d love to see it!
