Vero Beach, Sebastian & Indian River County In The News
Money Magazine named Vero Beach one of the
"Top Beach Towns" and Sebastian one of
"The Best Places to Live on the Coast."
Vero Beach was listed #7 of the best "emerging" areas according to the book Cities Ranked and Rated.
Vero Beach was described as an "upscale beach community but with a high cost of living by Florida standards."
Coastal Living Magazine's Senior Editor, Stu Millburg, calls Sebastian a distinctive place that is not 'generica' –
places that look just like other places with the same stores and strip malls.
"Sebastian was an old fishing village and it's moved away from that, but it still has that feel, that relaxing sense of life," Millburg said.
Other accolades for Vero Beach includes:
A #1 rank as "the best small town in Florida and 12th in the nation" by America's Guide to Small Towns.
The artistic side of Vero Beach gained the town
recognition as one of the "top 10 art towns in the country."

Real Estate Tips
Working With An Agent >Selecting A Real Estate Agent

Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.

Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.
