The Advantages of Our Unique Team
Whether you're a seasoned investor or a first-time home buyer, buying or selling a home involves more than just working with a realtor — it takes coordination, documentation, and professionals who work well together.
Title companies oversee transactions, and unless you're purchasing outright, securing a mortgage loan requires the expertise of a lender. Demonstrating your income for loan approval often necessitates tax returns — a process that can be particularly complex for self-employed individuals. Underwriting typically demands current year-to-date financial statements, often verified by an accountant.
With these professionals involved, a single transaction can involve coordinating with four different experts. Recognizing the critical importance of seamless collaboration among these professionals, Southern Bay Realty was founded. We've witnessed deals become needlessly complicated — or even fall apart — due to a lack of cohesion among involved parties. At Southern Bay, such issues never arise.
Operated by Christopher Olson, EA, owner of Azalea City Tax & Accounting, and his beloved Morgan and mother Carolyn Olson, licensed realtor/broker, our brokerage is uniquely positioned to provide a comprehensive suite of services.
Coupled with our close partnerships with select lenders and title companies — as well as local repair companies and licensed contractors — our team offers a complete solution for your real estate needs.
While we seamlessly collaborate with your existing accountant or lender, our integrated team ensures that every aspect of your transaction is expertly managed. If you're seeking the right professionals to guide you through your real estate journey, look no further — Southern Bay Realty has you covered.
- One coordinated team — fewer delays, fewer surprises
- Tax-aware guidance and documentation support when needed
- Trusted local partners for lending, title, repairs, and contractors
