THE ST. JOE COMPANY

“In our short time in operations we have assembled a strong team of experienced professionals and already formed significant relationships in the local real estate community,” said Casey Jernigan King, Managing Attorney and Director of Operations for Watersound Closings & Escrow. “We are providing closing services for real estate transactions throughout Bay and Walton Counties, and we look forward to growing our presence in Northwest Florida as more people discover what a great place this is to live and work.”

“This is a natural next step in our relationship with St. Joe,” stated Herbert Scheuer, Principal of HomeCorp. “Together we are having success with our apartment communities in Northwest Florida. Going forward we will be able to jointly manage those projects as well as some of the apartment communities that St. Joe plans to open in the future.” 

“We have been very encouraged by the response to these new communities from home builders and from home buyers,” said Bridget Precise, St. Joe’s Senior Vice President of Residential Real Estate. “People are discovering that Northwest Florida is a great place to live and work with its pleasant climate, favorable tax structure and high quality of life. We expect additional interest in these communities with the ongoing rebuilding of the nearby Tyndall Air Force Base.” 

“Our growing portfolio of apartment communities aligns with our strategic plan of developing assets that create new streams of recurring revenue,” said Jorge Gonzalez, President and CEO of St. Joe. “The leasing activity that we’ve seen to date is very encouraging and a positive indicator for our future plans in the apartment community market.”
