When you're looking for a partner to help you negotiate the complexities of selling a home, you've come to the right place. The experience, dedication and strong communication you'll receive here will help ensure the successful and profitable sale of your home:

1. The Local Advantage - Take advantage of a broad spectrum of technologies and tools to support the sale of your home from start to close.
2. Internet Advertising - Since the lion's share of home buyers starts their search on the internet, top placement on search engines is essential. You'll gain access to placement on Google, MSNBC, and other websites. This will maximize your exposure and bring a large number of potential buyers to view information about your home.
3. Email Campaigns - It's important to "work the network." We can work together to identify the right people to target your home-and get in touch with them by email to drive excitement and interest.
4. Personal Touch - Of course, technology alone won't sell your home. Face-to-face interaction provides the advantage to sell your home-and you won't have to worry about a thing. The details will be handled with care and constant communication, to ensure the marketing and sale of your home go smoothly.

Yacht Club Estates a well-kept secret on Boca Ciega Bay


Yacht Club Estates consists entirely of single family dwellings. It is a water oriented community with about 99 percent of the homes being waterfront homes (on Boca Ciega Bay). Almost all homes have docks and most have boats (either power or sail). Swimming, fishing and boating are favorite hobbies of residents. In recent years, the trend has been toward young families moving into the community. Many of the new young homeowners are "returnees" as they lived in Yacht Club Estates when they were growing up.

The original homes in Yacht Club Estates were built from 1959 through the late 1970s. They were almost exclusively concrete-block, ranch style homes with three or four bedrooms, two or three baths and double car garages. Many of these original homes have now been remodeled and enlarged with many two story homes now in evidence. There are now also many three car garages, spas and swimming pools.

In the mid 1950s, Robert E. Lee, a land developer from South Carolina, predicted that thousands of newcomers would flock to Florida and want waterfront homes. But the supply of waterfront property was already dwindling. Facing few restrictions, Lee launched a vast dredging operation to place fill on existing sand bars within newly constructed retaining seawalls to create the waterfront property which became Yacht Club Estates. This would be one of the last areas to be scooped out of the sea. After years of petitions from area environmentalists, dredging and seawall construction was halted in 1972, by the Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve Act. Development of the land started in 1958, with the first houses built soon afterward by a premier builder of the area - Frank Stumm. Other premier builders (Jack Apple and Clarence Sibley) were also invited to build homes. The price of a lot in 1960 was $4,900 and homes were sold for $22,000 including the lot. Some of the original homeowners still reside in Yacht Club Estates.

The Yacht Club Estates Civic Association of St. Petersburg was incorporated in November 1977, and has been in continuous operation since that time. At the present time, there are committees which address Beautification, Welcoming (of new residents), Crime Watch, Newsletter and Traffic. There is one Civic Association general membership meeting each year (usually held in late January), monthly Board of Directors meetings, a yearly neighborhood Harvest Moon party (usually held in October), a Halloween parade for goblins of all ages, as well as special meetings, work parties or a special get together as needed.

In 1996, Yacht Club Estates received a Neighborhood Partnership Grant from the City of St. Petersburg to replace the neighborhood sign and to install two sets of benches mounted on paver pads in the median of 79th Street South. This project was completed in 1997.

Yacht Club Estates is an island community located along 79th Street South, beginning with the 800 block. It is bounded on all sides by Boca Ciega Bay.
