Island For Sale | East Coast of U.S. In Georgia's Golden Isles

Amazing opportunity to have your own secluded island. Having been featured in the USA Today and Atlanta Journal Constitution, Eagle Island is a luxury getaway that is accessible only by boat. This 3,343 square foot home sits high on a 10 acre island that gives the new owner seclusion, amazing views of nature, and unbelieveable fishing. While completely private and secluded, you don't have to give up any comforts at all, because Eagle Island has full electric power served by underwater electric cables, central heat and a/c, and a gourmet kitchen for cooking fresh crab and redfish caught from the end of the property's 40 foot floating dock. Eagle Island sleeps 10 people, so it makes for a great family second home or corporate retreat for entertaining clients and business associates. Another great thing about the property is the fact that it's only a 10 minute boat ride away from services in the historic coastal town of Darien, Georgia. Darien is served by Brunswick Golden Isles Airport which is only about 20 minutes away. This airport has three flights daily from Atlanta via Delta Airlines' regional jet service or fly your private jet into the same airport. Other great attributes...Eagle Island is already ready to build an additional home with electric and plumbing capped and ready for construction. Another 40 foot boat dock is already permitted for the second house. Conservation easement is available to provide a great tax advantage. Last but not least, Eagle Island is an income producing property with a great rental history. Offered for $3.9 million. Contact pkirby@greatsecondhomes.com for more information.

Luxury Real Estate Auctions

Pat Kirby (GreatWaterfrontLiving.com) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:15:11 -0500

Do you have luxury real estate valued at $2 million or more that just won't sell? You can continue to try selling it through traditional means, but that could takes months if not a year or more. In the meantime, you'll spend thousands of dollars in carrying costs. You'll probably use one price reduction after another trying to get a buyer. The buyers will continue to watch your price fall, because there is no sense of urgency to act. This is why selling luxury real estate at auction is the answer. You can immediately stop dropping your price and put a timeline on when your house will sell. If it's a nice house, this will cause buyers to act now, because they know tomorrow will be too late. Auctions also creates competition among buyers on auction day, which results in a good selling price for your home.

Our company has sold hundreds of homes all over the country using this method. We specialize in only luxury properties, and have a great reputation and many referrals from previous clients. Our buyers are pre-qualified, closings happen in 30 days, there are no contingencies, and properties are sold as is. We get the property sold generally in 60-90 days.

If you would like to discuss the option of selling through auction, please call me so we can discuss your property to see if we can assist you. We also work directly with real estate agents that refer clients to us and pay a referral.
