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.

Hit the Jackpot

Just about a year ago, I had decided to look at some properties in Walton County, Florida. My wife of thirty seven years had died the previous year. I Google searched for realtors and decided on Cole Blair. Main reason was he was not with a huge corporate real estate company. I am a independent business person, and appreciate others that are of that persuasion. I hit the jackpot with Cole. I had some immediate health issues that I needed to take care of. He was very patient with me. He communicated with me about several properties. I actually decided on one and he did all the footwork, while I was in the hospital. Long story short is I did make the deal from my bed. A few weeks later, I met Cole, I looked at the property, and closed on it. I introduced some close friends to Cole and now they also have bought property with his assistance.

I feel like he is not only a trusted agent, but a friend.

Never Felt Rushed

We would highly recommend Cole Blair as a real estate agent. He listened to our needs such as floor plan, desire to be on the water and helped us stay within budget. He was always willing to take as much time as we needed while looking at properties and we never felt "rushed". He has excellent knowledge of the area. We never felt pressured, but he was always willing to offer advice. Cole was able to recommend service people to help both before and after the sale which was a tremendous help considering we were not from the area.
