Wondering what it’s really like living in Freeport, Florida? Here’s why I think it’s worth the tradeoff. 👇

People are quick to point out that it’s quieter and a little more tucked away, but that only tells part of the story.

For us, the payoff is in the day to day. It’s being close to the Choctawhatchee Bay, having easy access to boating and beach days along the Emerald Coast, and knowing I can spend a random Saturday grabbing a pub sub for lunch in Freeport or heading over to the Windmill’s Farmers Market.

That’s the stuff that changes how a place feels to live in.
So yes, I get the criticism. I just think what you get in return matters so much more.
And fall is one of the best times to experience exactly what makes living here worth it.

Looking to get in the know! Follow, DM us or reach out today and discover why Freeport is the Emerald Coast’s best kept secret!

Someone with the same income as you just bought a house! (Let that sink in for a minute).

So what do they know that you don’t?

They started a conversation with someone who helps people buy homes here along the Emerald Coast every day.
Someone who looked at their specific situation and said:

“Okay, here’s what would work for you.”
That’s it. That’s the difference.

If you’re hoping to get into a home before the end ofwthis year, I hope this encourages you.

What questions do you have? Send me a message or call — we’re here to be a warm, no-pressure resource for you and your family. We once had those questions too!

You see the JUST SOLD. But you don’t always see what it took to get there. 🏡

The late nights. The endless emails. The phone calls, text messages, negotiations, problem-solving, and sometimes just being the voice of reassurance when everything feels uncertain.
Because real estate is SO much more than showing houses and signing contracts.
It’s building relationships. It’s communication. It’s trust. It’s knowing when to step in, when to push harder, and when someone just needs to hear, “We’ve got this.”
And behind every JUST SOLD is someone making a pretty big decision. Someone trusting their gut, stepping outside their comfort zone, and making moves that align with the life they actually want.
And that is HUGE.
Most of the work happens quietly, long before the sold sign comes down or the celebratory post goes up.
What you’re seeing is the end result of clarity, trust, commitment, and a whole lot of courage.

So, if you’re new here, HI! I’m Jessica, Broker, of By The Water Realty, a small, family-run brokerage right here in Freeport, Florida.
I believe real estate should feel personal. Because it IS personal. These aren’t just houses. They’re people’s lives, investments, memories, and next chapters.
And getting to be part of those chapters? That’s something I don’t take lightly.
So the next time you see a JUST SOLD, remember: it’s never just about the house. It’s about everything it took to get there. 🤍

This home for sale in Freeport, FL might be one front porch swing away from the life you’ve been picturing 👀

Some homes make it easy to imagine what your days could look like there, and this one has that kind of pull.

It feels like the type of place where your routines would shift a little, your weekends would get better, and the things you keep saying you want more of—like a quiet neighborhood away from the beach crowds, but still close enough for an easy beach day —could actually become part of normal life.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a cozy porch with a swing, this one gives you plenty of room to picture yourself settling in and making it yours.

Before you fall in love with that kitchen, let’s talk about 3 things that could make a BIG difference in how much you love living in your new home!

I get it. The gorgeous countertops, oversized island, beautiful cabinetry, and dreamy finishes make it easy to picture yourself moving right in.

But here’s what I always remind my buyers: You’re not just buying a beautiful kitchen. You’re buying a home that needs to work for your everyday life!

Here are 3 things to think about:

1. STORAGE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
That kitchen might have plenty of cabinets, but what about the rest of the house? Think closets, garage space, and where you’ll store all the things that come with everyday living.

2. A LAYOUT THAT FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE
That oversized island might be perfect for entertaining, but does the rest of the home work for your family? Think bedroom locations, home office space, and how the floor plan fits your daily routine.

3. LIFE OUTSIDE THOSE FOUR WALLS
You might LOVE the kitchen, but what about the neighborhood? Consider street noise, commute times, nearby amenities, and whether you prefer neighbors close by or a little more privacy.

The kitchen might make you fall in love with a house, but it’s the rest of the home AND the lifestyle that make you love living there.

That’s why I take the time to understand how my buyers live, not just what’s on their wish list. Because the right home should make sense long after moving day!

Thinking about buying in Freeport, Hammock Bay, or along the Emerald Coast? Let’s find a home that checks more than just the pretty boxes!

We’re probably not the people to follow if you’re trying not to move to Freeport, FL. 😅

The more I show you our bay lifestyle, easy beach days near 30a, and what everyday life here actually looks like, the harder it is to keep pretending you’re “just browsing.”
That’s how it starts. Then suddenly you’ve saved three neighborhoods, sent a listing to your group chat, and started checking flights.
If Freeport has been sitting in the back of your mind, I can help with the part that comes next.

Comment or DM us and we can help you with what to know before making the move.

We’re By The Water Realty, a small a Real Estate Brokerage in Freeport, FL, and helping people figure out if this place actually fits their life is one of our favorite parts of the job.

JUST SOLD

📍254 Polaris Place, Freeport, FL

Sometimes the right buyers just take a little longer to find. And this one is proof of that!
This home had SO much to offer. Move-in ready, upgrades throughout, plenty of space, and all the little details that make a house feel like home.
It wasn’t an overnight sale, but when the right buyers walked through the door, it all made sense. This home had EVERYTHING they were looking for, and they didn’t have to change a thing!

Here’s the thing about real estate. Not every home sells in the first weekend. Not every transaction follows the same timeline. And sometimes, even when you’re doing all the right things, it takes a little patience, adjusting, and continuing to show up.
The goal is always the same: get the home in front of the right people, keep working behind the scenes, and get everyone to the closing table.
So excited for the new owners to make this house their HOME!

Thinking about selling in Freeport? Let’s talk about what it takes to get your home SOLD in today’s market.

JUST SOLD
244 Tadpole Place, Freeport, FL!

Another home SOLD, and another reminder that so much of what a good real estate agent does happens behind the scenes!

Getting a home to the closing table takes more than putting a sign in the yard, scheduling showings, and negotiating an offer.

It takes staying on top of deadlines, communicating with everyone involved, working through unexpected challenges, finding solutions, and making sure my clients’ best interests are protected every step of the way.

The truth is, even the smoothest-looking transactions require a lot of work behind the scenes. There are phone calls, conversations, details to manage, and sometimes problems to solve before they ever become bigger issues.

That’s the part of real estate you don’t always see, but it’s one of the most important parts of what we do.

244 Tadpole Place is officially SOLD, and I’m grateful to have been part of making it happen!

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Freeport, Florida, we’d love the opportunity to put that same level of dedication to work for you.
