In this episode of the Tracewater Homes podcast, hosts Matt and Brent are joined by Clay Phillips from the Abbott Martin Group. Phillips, a sales agent with over 20 years of experience in professional operations and management, discusses the unique opportunities and challenges in the Eastern Florida market, specifically covering areas from Bay County and Panama City Beach up to the Alabama line.The discussion highlights the benefits of building with Tracewater Homes, focusing on:The Shift in Market Trends: A movement toward tear-downs of older beach cottages and single-story homes on individual lots in Panama City Beach, as large tracts of land for traditional development become scarce.Choice and Control for Buyers: How Tracewater Homes fills the gap between rigid production builders and expensive fully custom builds by offering a semi-custom process where buyers can choose their own colors, pallets, and floor plans on their own land.Expert Guidance: The team's commitment to acting as advisers and confidants, helping clients navigate site challenges like utility hookups, septic systems, and building on difficult or wetland-heavy lots.Streamlined Financing: The advantages of the construction-to-permanent loan program, which allows buyers to roll land costs into their financing and lock in interest rates early.Agent Partnerships: Tracewater’s agent-friendly approach, including a commission structure that pays agents early in the process—at the close of the construction-to-perm loan.For more information or to find a dream lot in the Panama City area, viewers are encouraged to visit tracewaterhomesfl.com and reach out to Clay Phillips.
