Your 30A, Miramar Beach/Destin Real Estate Company – Cole Blair Properties, LLC

Lydia & Cole – Cole Blair Properties, LLC.

After spending summers vacationing in the area, Lydia moved to the Emerald Coast in 2002. She began her career opening retail store fronts for Sandestin Resort and later became the Director of Spa & Fitness for the resort. Her passion for the area lead her into real estate in 2006, where she utilizes her talents working with people as well as her eye for aesthetics and design. Her business skills and attention to detail have proven to be an asset for clients in searching for their perfect piece of real estate. In 2012, Lydia’s love for interiors and real estate prompted her to open her own boutique specializing in furniture, accessories & consignment to further assist clients in the entire process of buying & decorating their dream home or vacation rental. Whether for work or play, Lydia believes the Emerald Coast is one of the best places in the world to be and she would love to help you find your piece of paradise!

Cole has lived on 30A and Miramar Beach nineteen years, including the Sandestin, Rosemary Beach, Seagrove and Watercolor communities. Owning a local business in Seaside for ten years and buying and selling during that period, I have an intimate knowledge of every hamlet and contiguous properties having personally invested in many of them.

Before making the transition to life on 30A and Sandestin and becoming a licensed real estate broker, I founded and operated a multitude of successful healthcare companies including out-patient orthopedic physical therapy rehabilitation centers in joint venture with HCA Hospitals of America, an E-learning healthcare dotcom with Tenet Healthcare, physician owned physical therapy centers, and a spa. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and have been a dedicated athlete most of my life including collegiate football at UCF and triathlon. As a fitness enthusiast, I swim, bike and run daily. Traversing the area by foot and pedal offers me an insider’s take on local real estate not as easily discovered by car.

Real estate and fitness are passions that integrate seamlessly into my love of the local life-style offering intimate wine bars and restaurants, emerald green Gulf waters, snowy white sandy beaches, moderate temperatures and a general sense of well being. It’s like living at a destination spa. The intrinsic energy of our area is intoxicating to first time visitors and long term residents alike.

As your personal licensed real estate consultant, I bring to you years of entrepreneurial passion, business acumen, inherent enthusiasm and high energy, plus strong determination to excel while serving your real estate needs. Being owner of a smaller boutique real estate company, I am not bound by the revenue driven culture of larger corporate companies. Just as my focus has been in triathlon training and business…….it is in real estate, quality over quantity. My personal satisfaction derives from each customer being fully satisfied with my performance rather than turning high volumes of real estate transactions. I do not take on more than I am comfortable with, taking my time with each new customer until their goals are met.

I hope you will seek out my services. You will not be disappointed.

Life Changing

Engaging Cole was the best move we made in what has proven to be the best decision Beth and I have made in decades. Cole has been unbelievably quick, responsive, knowledgeable, and, from my perspective as a lawyer, a fabulous advocate for us. We efficiently covered 30A from east to west in two days, with Cole and Lydia screening the universe down to the best candidates. Cole then worked through the bidding process and saved us from the mistakes I would have otherwise made. The ultimate decision dramatically altered our lives for the better, and I would be thrilled to discuss it with you.

Guidance, Diligent and Patient

We feel so lucky to have found Cole and Lydia to help us in our search for our “dream vacation home/rental property”. Living in Oklahoma meant they were our “boots on the ground”. The took time to truly ascertain what we wanted in a property (and what we didn’t want). From there, they did their research and kept us frequently updated on available properties by emailing us listings. When we found one we thought might be “the one”, they would go assess it for us and get back with their honest opinion on why it might or might not be a fit for us. Because of their guidance, diligence, and patience, we finally found what is absolutely perfect for us!

Once we made our decision to purchase, they took complete charge of the process. As fate would have it, we ended up with a property that had a very complicated title to be resolved. They were our total go between with the owner’s realtor and the closing agency. They handled everything for us, making it a seamless process. They walked us through our “long distance closing” and even did the walkthrough of the property for us just prior to us wiring the funds for closing.

They truly went above and beyond just selling us a property. They were totally invested in helping us turn a property into our home. Their expertise in Miramar Beach and surrounding areas was invaluable as we embarked on doing a total remodel. They became our “yellow pages”, guiding and directing us to places to shop for furniture, fabric, and so much more.

At the end of the day, yes, they were excellent realtors and totally advocated on our behalf and in our absence. But, more importantly, we now consider them friends and enjoy staying in touch with them and seeing them when we are enjoying our beautiful new townhome, “St. Somewhere”.

We would, without reservation, recommend them to anyone who wants a “personal touch” when it comes to buying a property. They are the “complete package” when it comes to realtors.

Out of Town Buyers

Cole was wonderful to work with! He is friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and great at negotiating. We were new to the 30A area and he was great at guiding us around. When we finally found our home and being we were out of town buyers, Cole made the entire process very easy. We would highly recommend Cole!
