Tired of cold winters and generic-feeling suburbs? Tarpon Springs, Florida is one of the best real estate deals and has a charming small-town feel. It is a welcoming place to home-buyers regardless of price point.

Tarpon Springs is located on the west-central coast of Florida. The Gulf of Mexico that hugs it to the west is a warm oasis, but so is the town itself. Alive with cultural events and a vibrant Greek sponge-diving heritage, it is a unique small town in northern Pinellas County.

Here you can still find narrow streets, mom-and-pop businesses, antique shops, small and friendly restaurants, and plenty of recreational options. The Sponge Docks off Dodecanese Boulevard offer great Greek and seafood restaurants, regular nights of live music on the street, arts and crafts festivals, shoping and the chance to see real working sponge-diving boats. Sunset dolphin cruises are very popular for tourists and residents alike.

Captivated yet? To find a place to live in Tarpon Springs, contact a Tarpon Springs Florida Realtor or real estate agency. Most of the agents are from the area and can give great tips and advice on jobs, sight-seeing, schools, buying a house, and so much more.

There’s this cool new technology that will let you search for that nice piece of Dunedin real estate by surfing the Tampa Bay MLS just like a Realtor does.  It’s free, it’s easy, and you can sign up here.

It’s called Listingbook.  You’ll see new listings as they hit the market, price changes, contracts that go pending, how many days a home has been on the market and so on, just like we do.  You get to drive the bus and customize your searches any way you like, and as often as you like.

We’ve been offering Listingbook for a while now, but we heard it can offer a lot more, not just for those of you wanting to purchase a Clearwater Beach condo, but for our Crystal Beach FLhome sellers, too.  So, yesterday, we jumped at the chance to attended a free advanced training session presented by Tara Jacobsen of Marketing Artfully and sponsored by Joyce Smith of Somers Titleand Ingegrity First Funding Group in Dunedin.  Tara blew our hair off.  We’re going to be working hard in the next few weeks to bring you all of the bells and whistles we learned about to help make you the most informed Pinellas home buyers and sellers out there!    

Sign up and tell us what you think.  Surfs up!  (yes, that’s Matt being an off-duty Realtor and our son catching a few waves at Lido Key in Sarasota).
