We’re incredibly excited to welcome Courtney Payne as Director of Operations for The Kendall Hood Collection. Please help us give her a warm welcome.

You know how Mariah Carey does the “it’s tiiiime” thing on November 1st? Same energy, but for fall on 30A.

Labor Day weekend is officially over, which means we have officially entered secret season. The crowds are gone, the Gulf is still warm, and you can get a table on a Saturday without a plan.

If you’ve been thinking about coming down this fall, or looking at buying here, the new blog gets into what the season is really like, plus where the fall market and the rental calendar tend to land this time of year.

@cpayne.01 has one message for sellers: pricing IS the marketing. 👀

On her episode of The Lemon Drop with @holly.meyer.lucas, Courtney Payne gets candid about why she is so direct about pricing with her sellers. Great marketing can create exposure, but if a home enters the market significantly overpriced, even the strongest strategy has an uphill battle.

It’s another look at how Meyer Lucas agents approach seller conversations, set expectations, and make decisions based on what the market is actually doing.

If @cpayne.01 client ever has to ask, “How did it go?” something went wrong. 👀

On her episode of The Lemon Drop with @holly.meyer.lucas, Courtney Payne explains why overcommunication is one of the biggest standards she holds herself to in real estate. When someone is making a major buying or selling decision, knowing what happened, what comes next, and when they’ll hear from you matters.

It’s another look at the way Meyer Lucas agents approach client relationships and the details that shape the experience behind the scenes.
