About Us

Specializing in such niche markets as Watersound Beach, Watercolor and Rosemary Beach allows me the opportunity to be an expert on the above aforementioned 30A areas. I go above and beyond in providing my clients with the necessary wisdom to make educated decisions in short sales, buying and selling homes, foreclosures etc.

I love it when people visit 30A for the first time and react in awe and amazement seeing the great beaches of 30 A ….all amazing little hamlets representative of their own beach charm. Those very reactions are the reasons why most people like me have chosen to make this their permanent home. The sixteen mile stretch that expands Scenic 30A is truly an amazing part of the world to own real estate. Experience the sunset on Grayton Beach and you’ll see why people choose to call the area their paradise.

Seventeen coastal dune lakes, twenty-five thousand acres of protected habitat, sugar white beaches with Caribbean-like water colors, little villages like Watercolor, Rosemary Beach or Watersound Beach dotting the journey; all forming the beauty and tranquility some of us are lucky enough to call home. Throw in world class dining like Café 30A and Fish out of Water, lodging like The Watercolor Inn, distinctive and unique shopping in Seaside, championship golf at courses like Camp Creek or Sandestin, a hip art scene……..the list goes on and on

Living on 30A creates a passion for 30A. It”s the reason I focus my efforts on distinctive, luxury properties that are representative of its charm. I believe wholeheartedly in providing those who are looking to buy or sell property the same; with respect and trust. I accept the responsibility my clients give me very, very seriously and when it’s all said and done, at the end of the process we’ll probably become something really special, friends.

Our team:

Mike Matz

Our mission statement of bringing energy, excitement and enthusiasm to our real estate practice each and every day is a conviction that drives not only me but also the entire company. I remember, as you all do, when we saw this beautiful 30A for the very first time. Our goal is to always remember that amazing memory and  bring it to the  workplace daily.

I learned so much from my collegiate athletic career but nothing more important than preparation and attitude, two things that we are always directly in charge of. We pride ourselves in treating each and every client of ours with the utmost respect; we realize that your decisions are very important and that you need positive, genuine, and educated support. We realize we are involved is some of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make in your lifetime; we want our assistance to be a huge adjunct.After playing and coaching intercollegiate baseball, I was fortunate to have enjoyed a successful sales and marketing career in the very competitive medical device industry. Being in an industry where mistakes could be catastrophic has instilled in me the importance of striving for perfection.I’m not sure a lot of people can say this but it’s certainly true; I can honestly say that I can’t wait to get to work every day! Like our video blog states so eloquently…..we’re living life on 30A!
