Fernandina Beach Residential Real Estate Agents Fernandina Beach Florida Professional Real Estate Agent

Chad and Sandy are marketing agents and they work as a team. Chad is the listing agent who provides the personal service and expert advice with weekly phone calls. Sandy is the marketing agent who performs market research and leads strategies to bring in the buyers.

Besides print advertising, they expose their listings to buyers 24X7. And not just for a few buyers either—their exclusive “Featured Agent” status on Realtor.com puts their listings ahead of other local properties and reaches more than 6.6 million viewers every month. Additionally, buyers access the Web site you are viewing right now (which receives more than 65,000 hits and over 600 new individuals each month).

As a member of both Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) and Amelia Island Nassau County Association of Realtors (AINCAR), Chad can list your property on two multiple listings services (MLS) that reaches more than 20 different local counties.

If your current strategy is not getting the kind of results you’d like, Chad an Sandy welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss a plan tailored to your property and your needs. They believe that:

"There are only two reasons houses do not sell—overpricing and underexposure."

Their secret is the innovative marketing strategy and the self-written library of marketing materials they created after researching the industry's best practices.

Chad and Sandy have joined forces with Steve Simmons and his award-winning full-service team at ERA Fernandina Beach Realty. They work out of the Yulee office in the shopping center across from Lowe’s on SR 200 (A1A). ERA Fernandina Beach Realty is an ERA Top 200 firm and has won the ERA Commitment to Excellence Award for the past seven years. A full service company, Fernandina Beach Realty operates three real estate offices: on Amelia Island, in Yulee, and in Callahan. It is also the largest vacation and long-term rental management company in Nassau County. Chad and Sandy Neumann are proud to be part of a real estate firm that has been a fixture in Nassau County since 1973 and look forward to being able to offer their clients even more real estate options and services.

Affiliation with ERA brings a host of additional advertising opportunities and benefits to sellers. These include international exposure of their homes on www.era.com, a nationwide referral service for buyers and sellers, corporate advertising, ERA Select Services which offers discounts on move-related goods and services, ERA Home Warranty, ERA Mortgage, and more.

My goal is to encourage smart home buying and to produce quick, effective home sales. My commitment extends beyond the paperwork and administration of real estate transactions—I enjoy helping people make decisions. Home ownership can be a rewarding and shrewd decision, if the process is managed wisely. I can help you decide the best plan for your circumstances.

Real estate is not my job, it is my passion. My love for houses is what keeps me up late at night as I search for new listings and evaluate market trends. I am a confessed real estate junkie who is never without a journal, magazine, or newspaper. Over the years I spent much of my free time helping friends and local business owners do home repair, handyman jobs, and new construction projects. I participated in nine or ten rehab projects and sold a few of my own houses, too. I have even worked as both a painter and a window washer on the side. (You wouldn’t believe how a fresh coat of paint and professionally cleaned windows will increase the perceived value of a home!)

Of course, anyone can learn about real estate from a book or class, but knowledge alone will not guarantee sound decision-making skills in the midst of real life business situations. Real estate transactions often draw buyers and sellers into highly delicate, emotional negotiations during which both sides confront weighty and often irreversible decisions. Such situations demand the guidance of an objective, genuine professional.

Fortunately I am no stranger to communicating with the public. Eight years’ experience as an emergency responder lends deep understanding of community needs. As a local firefighter, I formerly served the 15,000-member community of Amelia Island / Fernandina Beach and currently serve the one million residents of Jacksonville, Florida. I have also participated at special events at Alltel stadium, the Arena, the shrimp festival, the Super Bowl, Jacksonville’s South Bank concerts, and other events with over 100,000 in attendance. Community members entrust their lives to me daily.

While some might view my time with Jacksonville’s Fire and Rescue Department as a hindrance to my effectiveness as a Realtor, I view it as an enhancement. My consequent background in building construction, my inside knowledge of local neighborhoods, and my dedication as a community servant set me apart from the rest.

I was born and raised in the Orange Park / Greater Jacksonville area. I attended these area schools, grew up in these neighborhoods, root for the Jags, and conduct business with the locals. Currently, I reside here in peaceful (and somewhat undiscovered) Nassau County with my family.

The greatest benefit of my Fernandina Beach location is the convenience to all local listings. I can be at Amelia Island, the beaches, or on I-95 in just 10-15 minutes. Jacksonville, Hilliard, and Callahan are all within 40 miles, and St. Augustine, St. Johns and Clay County are within an hour’s drive. Regardless of the direction your home search takes you, I can guide you to it and through it.

As a thirteen-year resident of Fernandina Beach, I have seen a lot! I remember the fire at the Palace Saloon and helped build the playground that once stood at the edge of Main Beach. I have cultivated many local friends and business connections, as I have always felt strongly about supporting local entrepreneurs by keeping money inside the community. I support these local service providers as friends and personally recommend them for their sound business practices and commitment to service:

Military training in Guam as a plane captain for a C-2 aircraft with Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Dept (AIMD)
USAR (Urban Search and Rescue: confined space, trench rescue, high-angle, water rescue)
HAZMAT (Hazardous Materials Technician, certified by the state of Florida)
Paramedic (licensed in the state of Florida)
CPR-certified
Advanced Life Support
Licensed realtor in the state of Florida
