When it’s time to sell your coastal property on St. George Island, choosing the right real estate partner makes all the difference. At St. George Island Realty, we offer a proven, full-service approach rooted in local expertise, precision pricing, and standout marketing that gets your property in front of the right buyers—fast.
Why Sell With Us
Precision Pricing Through In-Depth Market Analysis
Our listing process begins with a personalized walkthrough of your property. This step is critical. By evaluating your home’s quality, condition, and amenities firsthand, we can determine where it truly stands in the market.
We then conduct a comprehensive market analysis using both the Sales Comparison Approach—comparing your property to recent similar sales—and the Cost Approach, which estimates what it would cost to rebuild your home today minus depreciation. This dual analysis ensures we price your home strategically to attract interest while maximizing your return.
Premium Marketing That Drives Results
Once listed, your property receives the full weight of our marketing engine:
-
Professional Photography that captures your home’s best angles and lighting.
-
3D Virtual Tours that allow buyers to walk through your property anytime, anywhere.
-
Drone Shots showcasing your property’s proximity to the Gulf or Bay and stunning surroundings.
-
The Monthly SGI Realtor Tour that puts your property in front of the most active local agents.
-
Syndicated across Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and more, which is the reason the quality of the photography is so important.
-
Promoted across social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, through engaging, targeted campaigns.
-
Displayed in Homes & Land Magazine.
-
We also use reverse prospecting in the MLS to identify agents with buyers whose criteria match your property—and we call them directly.
Expert Negotiation to Safeguard Your Interests
Beyond marketing, our strength lies in negotiation. A strong offer isn’t just about price—terms matter just as much. We ensure your contract includes a meaningful escrow deposit to show buyer commitment and protect your interests. We scrutinize inspection periods to ensure they’re fair—keeping your home off the market too long during a buyer’s due diligence can cost you time and money.
Hands-On Transaction Management
Once a contract is signed, we become your project managers—tracking every deadline, coordinating with the buyer’s agent, and ensuring everything stays on schedule. We also review the title commitment and final closing statement to catch any issues before they affect your bottom line.
With St. George Island Realty, you get more than a listing agent—you get a local team committed to getting your home sold efficiently and for top dollar. Let’s get started today.

1. Malcolm Called Us
His family didn’t get to the island as often as they used to, so they decided to sell.
2. Comprehensive Market Analysis

Professional photography, drone shots, and a 3-D tour were just the beginning. Social media, Google, Zillow, open houses, and print media followed.
4. Expert Negotiations
Not a penny was left on the table — in fact we negotiated a sales price more than what Malcolm expected.
5. Seamless Closing
Frequent communication with Malcolm and the buyer’s agent created a stress-free experience, and we easily jumped the hurdles to get to the closing table.
6. Malcolm's Thoughts
“The Varnes Ingalls team did a great job marketing our house, and the contract negotiations and closing went smoothly. I highly recommend them if you are buying or selling in the St. George Island/Apalachicola area.”
