Snowtosunshine.Com:  The All-In-One Resource for Relocating to Northeast Florida

REALTOR® Gina LaBarbera left snowy New Jersey for Florida in 1989. Quickly adapting to her new, frost-free life, Gina has made it her mission to help others relocate from colder climes to the Jacksonville, Florida area. Knowing that most people looking to relocate start their searches on the web, Gina created an all-inclusive web site:  www.snowtosunhine.com. For anyone thinking of moving to northeast Florida, the site is truly a one-stop spot that yields a wealth of information with just a click of the mouse.

On snowtosunshine.com, Gina, an agent with RE/MAX Atlantic, features neighborhood profiles, home listings, school data, information about cultural and recreational activities, a guide to new construction, tips on buying and selling in Jacksonville, and a property search tool. There is a page devoted to each of the neighborhoods Gina serves including Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Atlantic Beach, San Marco, Nocatee, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Springfield, Orange Park and Ponte Vedra Beach, among others. For each community, Gina offers a brief history, a description of the type of housing available and local attractions.

After reviewing the neighborhood descriptions, clients can proceed to snowtosunshine’s property search tool, which allows them to select price ranges, neighborhoods, number of bedrooms and other important criteria for their home search. Using those parameters, Gina reviews all available listings for homes that match the data. Gina then gives clients the opportunity to view virtual tours of the homes they’ve selected on the web site. When it comes time to do in-person visits, she plans the home search to visit only those homes that meet her client’s requirements. 

In addition to all the relevant home-finding and community data available at snowtosunshine.com, Gina has also written a newcomer’s guide to Jacksonville. In From Jersey to Jacksonville…an Insider’s Guide to Making the Transition from Brrr to Ahhh, she offers practical and humorous tips to help the newly relocated adapt to the Sunshine State. The free guide is available by email—for a copy, visit www.snowtosunshine.com.
