Relocating DC Newlyweds Tour Tampa/St. Petersburg Neighborhoods With Chris Hounchell
I was fortunate to spend my childhood growing up on one of the barrier islands off Sarasota. My family lives there still and I miss them. My husband grew up in Miami and has a sister in St. Pete. He’d like to see her and his folks more often. Our careers have moved us up and down the east coast over the past seven years. We were recently married and plan to return to the west coast of Florida soon to settle into a permanent home and start a family of our own.
While visiting over the holidays, we contacted Chris Hounchell of Chris Hounchell & Associates at the advice of a friend who knew Chris as an expert in all aspects of the Tampa/St. Petersburg real estate market. We want to work with a seasoned professional who is close to our age and is a native who knows all the ins and outs about the various neighborhoods that make up the area. We couldn’t have been more pleased to begin our search for our first home with Chris.
Before meeting, we spent time on the phone with him to discuss our priorities, our timing, our price range and our vision of what we were looking for in a home and a community. Our first impression was that we had found the Realtor® we were looking for. Chris was knowledgeable, friendly, and a good listener who quickly understood our needs.

Get Ready To Fall BackThere’s no better sign that fall is just around the corner (except maybe for the beginning of Stone Crab season in Florida) than the end of Daylight Savings Time, when mornings get lighter earlier and the kids complain because darkness moves them inside all too soon.
Before you head off to bed Saturday night, be sure to turn all your clocks back one hour, so you’ll be up and running and on time Sunday morning. Another way to look at it is; you get an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning, which is never a bad idea.
