A Native sells North Florida

A Native sells North Florida
by Miranda G. McLeod
Staff Writer

A native of Jacksonville's beaches, Nancy Maloy doesn't stray far from home and her offices is just west of the Intracoastal on Beach Boulevard.  Maloy is the president of Floridian Lifestyles Realty.  She incorporated the company in 2005 and remains confident about the Northeast Florida market.
   
"We kicked off in September (2005) and it seems like the longest year of my life," she said. " But it's been a great year and I think 2007 will be great."  Maloy started her real estate career 18 years ago. She said her passion for the industry keeps her going. She's been investing in real estate since the early 1980s, and she said she's been through tough times, recalling 18 and 19 percent interest rates.
   
" I was still selling then," she said. There have been five factors Maloy said have helped her through the years:
          Passion and love for the industry.
          Hard work.
          Time in the industry
          A little bit of luck.
          Great connections that have enhanced her abilities.   
   
Maloy passes those factores on to her sales staff, which has tripled in size since Floridian Lifestyles opened its doors. Maloy said she sold every kind of real estate, including relocation and commercial.  Maloy served as president of another local realty company and also five spent years as the regional sales manager for Coldwell Banker the Condo Store, where she specialized in coverting rental properties into condominiums. " I loved the challenge of getting the projects off the ground," she said.

During her time at The Condo Store, Maloy and her team achieved more than $40 million in sales within a nine-month period for the Plaza Condominiums at Berkman Plaza.  Maloy owned a condo at Berkman and recently sold it.  While the current market is different from the past, according to Maloy, it's more stable.  The market is where is should be and it's a great time to reenter, she said, though the last ebb of the market went longer than expected with too many speculators.  " We heard the talk for years but now is a perfect time to get back into the market," she said, the market needed to do what it did."

Maloy said it's necessary to educate the buyer that they aren't going to steal the deal as they were able to do previously.  " More people are holding out. The market hasn't done what the media portrayed," said Maloy.  "The media almost killed us. People in California are still saying the Northeast Florida market is strong."  Maloy sees that strength in the market first hand through her clients. The company is also the exclusive sales and marketing arm for the planned Salida Del Sol multi-family gated neighborhood in St. Augustine.

For now, Maloy intends to keep building the company. She said her business is very service- and customer-orientated, providing hands-on education. Eventually, Maloy wants to own her own free-standing building and would like to invest in her own projects. Maloy's next step, however, is an Internet real estate company. She's putting the initial plans together to reach a customer base that uses the Web to find homes in North Florida.  "We're builing goals one step at a time," Maloy said.

11/06/2006 - Floridian Lifestyles Realty Celebrates One-Year Anniversary Marked by Phenomenal Company Growth and Success

Jacksonville, FL — When one is merely a year old, growth is usually typified in terms of baby steps. Over the past year, however, the Floridian Lifestyles Realty team has made great corporate strides in amazing leaps and bounds. An impressive portfolio of residential real estate projects, an ever-expanding sales staff, and continuous company growth marks the company’s milestone first year in business.

“The past year has been phenomenal,” said Nancy Maloy, president and founder of Floridian Lifestyles Realty. “From humble beginnings and a very small, but well-respected staff, we have quickly risen through the ranks of the real estate industry. We have branched out into new markets, and we are so pleased to be representing some of Northeast Florida’s premier residential developments. It has been an exciting time of growth and success, and we look forward to another fantastic year of service to our valued clients.”

In the year since Floridian Lifestyles Realty opened its doors, the company’s sales force has tripled in size; and its Jacksonville headquarters has undergone interior and exterior renovations to accommodate associate needs.

Prior to founding Floridian Lifestyles Realty, Maloy served as president of another local realty company. She also spent five years as the regional sales manager for Coldwell Banker The Condo Store, where she specialized in converting rental properties into garden style and luxury high-rise condominiums. During that time, Maloy successfully led her team in achieving over $40 million in sales within a nine-month period for homes at The Plaza Condominium at Berkman Plaza and Marina in downtown Jacksonville. She continues to be instrumental in the sales success of some of Jacksonville’s most notable properties.

With decades of combined real estate expertise, the Floridian Lifestyles Realty team continues to successfully respond to a significant increase in service requests by a growing customer base of homebuyers, sellers, homebuilders, and residential and commercial real estate developers. Maloy has been actively recruiting the best local and regional talent since the company’s inception.

“Whether individually or as a team, we will continue to keep our focus on making an Independent Difference with our clients,” said Maloy.

The “Independent Difference” to which Maloy refers is the tailored, one-on-one customer service typically not found at many national real estate franchises. Whether acting as the sales and marketing arm for some of the area’s most prestigious real estate projects, or helping a homebuyer select the home of their dreams, the company follows an “all are created equal” customer service philosophy.

“Our remarkable success thus far stems from a business model that is strongly rooted in benchmark customer service,” said Maloy. “We understand that the real estate market is now a supermarket. People want to do business with people, not with companies. We make time for the people we serve, and we resolve to do what we promise to do. It is the primary reason that we are being tapped by some of Florida’s finest homebuilders and land developers to handle the sales and marketing for their representative projects. In addition to our current portfolio, we have many awesome projects that will be announced in the coming months. It definitely will be an exciting time for real estate buyers.”
