Dear Natalie,
Thank-you for giving us the exact right advice regarding selling our Mexico Beach townhouse. Your expert advice on how to spruce up the place and how to price the unit in a buyer's market was invaluable. You sold our unit within a month, when the prior two Realtors rarely showed it and couldn't sell it in 18 months time. We appreciated how easy it was to connect with you with all questions regarding the sale of our place.


Thank-you again,


Cindy and Layne Smith

 Natalie,

Well we did it!  You sold the house on Circle Drive, just like we discussed. I should have sold it at the top of the market but knew you would come through when I needed to really move it quick. I still made a good profit on it.   I see they are working on it already. It was a great house for our family and I know you said the new owners had children... I'll drive by it to meet the new owners and show them the sprinkler system and pump. You told them I might drop by , correct?  

Now let's get the other house in town sold! Talk to you soon.

Email from Clients: Steve  and Gail Dwyer

We can't say enough about how wonderful Natalie made our buying experience.  One Saturday morning,45 minutes before we were to check out of the cottage we rented for the week, my husband saw "the house".  He insisted I leave the sweeping of the kitchen floor and-drive with him over to look at "the house".  He called Natalie and she appeared within 15 minutes to show us this house.  She was informative,pleasant and not aggressive.  She seemed to recognize my concerns that "the house" would put us in the  "poor house"

Natalie asked if we'ed be interested in looking at another home that had recently become available.  She thought we might like it.  So we drove back to the cottage,gathered the kids up, returned the key and met Natalie at this house.  Again, she was simply there to answer questions and show us the lay of the house.  She did not insist, push,or try to sell.  She seemed genuinely interested in us making the decision that was best for us.

We left and drove 12 hours back to our home in Arkansas.  We made an offer on the first house, my husband's dream house, and I worried and prayed and didn't sleep at night.  Two day later, I called Natalie and told her that I physically could not go through with the process.  She kindly understood and handled it for us.  We opted to make an offer on the second house and Natalie walked us through the process.  We have bought three homes over the years and never has a realtor been so patient and concerned.  Her prompt attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile and genuine concern for our happiness make the buying of this house a great experience for us.  Thanks to Natalie , we'll be spending many days at the beach with our family and friends!


 EMAIL from Gail after first stay at their new house on 10/29/06

Natalie,
Steve and I had to drag ourselves away this morning and drive back to Arkansas. If we didn't still have 2 kids in high school here, we'd be down there bagging groceries at the commissary on base... :)
Thanks again for all your help in making it happen!
Quick question: Now we are trying to talk our friends into retiring there... The end unit on our building had a for sale sign out front and was listed with Anchor Realty but I can't find any info on it on line. Could you send me some info so I can send to a friend? If you have any listings around 400,000 on the beach side of 98, could you send them to me on some sort of automatic listing? I'll find out what friends are interested and send them out to them!
Thanks!
Gail

EMAIL from Gail on 10/31/06

 Natalie,
We may have the opportunity to rent to someone (weird story, friend of a friend) for a few months. We were wondering if you had any idea as to what we could charge feasibly for rent (off-season) for a minimally furnished apartment? :)
Thanks for any guidance.
Gail

Dear Natalie,

Thank you so much for helping us search for, locate and purchase our new home in Port St Joe, Florida.  You stuck with us through a year and a half of looking, our strict and varied criteria, and our hand-wringing over the market.  Your support, knowledge and advice were ( and are) invaluable, and I appreciate the time and effort you spent to stay in contact with me, and show us houses on OUR schedule.

Once we decided on a house, you really managed the rest of the process in an organized and very timely fashion.  This kept the whole process firmly on track through the entire negotiation, inspection/appraisal/survey, loan application and closing procedure.

Again, thank you so much for your service and professionalism!

Dear Natalie,

Thank you for your help on our lot purchase in Ovation.  Your attention to detail on this transaction is rarely found in the real estate world.  Your advice on lot selection was excellent and once we signed the contract your expertise took over and we were able to step back until the day of closing.  As a real estate lender I have been involved in thousands of closings and I can honestly say it doesn't get any better than our experience with you.   I look forward to working with you on selecting our builder and working in partnership on other real estate transactions in the future.

Warmest Regards,

Rob Pridemore

RE: Natalie Shoaf

I have invested in several real estate projects in various coastal markets in Florida.  In doing so, I have worked with many Realtors.  I was fortunate to meet Natalie Shoaf while traveling through the Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, and Mexico Beach area looking for future real estate investments.  She helped me sort through various options in all three markets and did so tirelessly.  I was impressed with her local knowledge and ability to obtain answers quickly to a wide range of issues.

In the current real estate market, having seen many consecutive years of unprecedented appreciation, it is critical to work with real estate professional who truly has a beat on the direction the local market is headed.  Additionally, with potential exposure to future storm conditions, it is also very important to work with someone who is resourceful, trust worthy and honest.

Natalie has conducted herself from the first day we met as someone who is as concerned about gaining a new neighbor as she is finding a solid investment for that individual.

Hi Natalie,

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for working with me on the recent lot purchase in Ovation.

I was not familiar with the area, and I appreciate you driving us around Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas until we found the right investment.  I have worked with many real estate agents over the years, but few have that perfect balance of excellent follow-though and just the right amount of assertiveness.  You were very respectful of my time and followed up with me with exactly the right frequency and gave advice only when appropriate.  I really enjoyed working with you, and I would recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for real estate opportunities along the Forgotten Coast.

Thanks again!

Tanya Puckett

Dear Natalie,

Thanks to you, we are now all settled in our new beautiful home in Port St Joe!  We wanted to take this opportunity to express to you just how much we appreciate your assistance in finding the perfect home for our family.  From our initial meeting until closing and the actual move in, you have been mor3 than helpful and available.  We prayed for a realtor who would be attentive to our needs and not pushy or forceful.  To say the least, you were an answer to our prayers!  In your search for our home, you stayed within our budget and met our requested desires.  What we appreciated most about you was your desire for us to fall in love with the area by exposing us to the many attributes of the area.  Your warm, easy-going, gentle and friendly manner made a tough move for our family a very easy transition.  Than you for going the extra mile to find a dream home for our family is such a short amount of time!

Sincerely,

David and Dana Walters

The scripture comes to mind when I think of our time with you.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life”

Thank you again,

Dear Century 21:

I am writing in regards to the wonderful job that Natalie Shoaf did, in finding a home for us.  Not only was it a difficult search but we were out of the county much of the time.  Natalie went the whole nine yards for us and made us feel very special.  Not only did we find a wonderful home in Port St Joe but we made a great friend in Natalie!

Thank You So Much!

Ian & Carolyn Williams
