Emerald Coast Realtor Dorothy Sewell

Great News -I found a fabulous realtor in Destin. I know we have many talented and experienced Realtors along the Emerald Coast. The current market conditions are not good, as we all know, but it can be a positive. Recently I needed to find a realtor to answer several questions and possibly facilitate a purchase.

This is when I was given a referral to Dorothy Sewell. I am not one to waste anyone’s time, but I really needed to go over quite a lot of specs & statistics. Ms. Sewell was absolutely charming and went the extra mile for me. She took the time to run all the reports, give me the specs I needed and all with not one bit of pressure. I learned that she had been with ResortQuest Real Estate for 18 years. Although I did not make a purchase, when I do it will be with Ms. Sewell. The outstanding service I received is truly refreshing.

I suggest you give her a ring if you are in need of a real pro! Visit her site at: www.dorothysewell.com or e-mail her at: dorothysewell@cox.net Phone: 850-837-3700 Cellular: 850-865-2315Phone: (850) 837-3700 Toll Free: (800) 547-0805

Lighthouse is a great day trip from Destin

The famous lighthouse in Pensacola is on the Pensacola Naval Air Station and was built in 1859. The U.S. government designated Pensacola as a Naval base way back in 1824, and authorized a lighthouse for the location--making Pensacola the oldest lighthouse site on the Gulf Coast.

The lighthouse is currently maintained by the US Coast Guard. This particular lighthouse was the site of a murder in the late 1800’s and is said to be extremely haunted. There have been several books written about this unique location. This would be a great day trip from Destin, as it is only 75 miles away.

The Pensacola Naval Air Station grants passes for visits to the lighthouse and during October they have haunted lighthouse tours. Otherwise tours of the lighthouse are only by appointment only or during summer months they are held every Sunday.
