Buying or building a home in Baker County, Florida can be challenging. There is not a lot of inventory to choose from, but people are discovering it’s a great place to live. That’s why we chose Baker County as our home.

Most people understand building components have a life cycle or useful life expectancy, but they rarely plan or budget for replacement. If you are buying a resale home, you should also understand you may need to replace aged components and budget accordingly.
