Sunset Bay Villas is a well maintained condominium development on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, yet there are only a select group of units that offer views of the sun-kissed waters, brilliant sunsets and the lights of the Downtown Mobile skyline. I am super excited to have the opportunity to market a unit with an excellent location in the complex, as it’s position offers bay views with a super affordable price tag. One of my favorite aspects of the property is the private balcony off of the spacious master suite, which is an ideal place to lounge in a hammock with a good book or a extremely romantic setting to share a bottle of wine and relax after a busy work week. When a bring a unique property like this to market, we are selling far more than real estate, we are selling the waterfront lifestyle.

Jason: “What were the deciding factors that led you to buy this condo?”

Jason: “In your opinion, what are the current selling features of your condo?”
Seller: “Obviously the view was a key feature for us. The unit offers lots of storage, with 3 closets in the master alone, a huge laundry room, 2 attic’s for storage and attached garage. The unit has also been updated with modern upgrades, as well as $10K worth of curtains and blinds. Having our own elevator was pretty cool too and it was nice to be able to bypass the steps when I had an armful of groceries.”
Jason: “What have become your favorite aspects of condo living?”
Seller: “This is an easy one! You can’t beat the maintenance free aspect of condo life. I really miss having NO yard work on the weekends and the days when I just got to relax on my off-time and enjoy all the perks of waterfront living.”
Jason: “What are your favorite complex amenities?”
Seller: “Sunset Bay has a private fishing pier for residents, which is really nice. There is also a pool & gazebo. My absolute favorite amenity is the being in walking distance to the Lake Forest Yacht Club, with great burgers and live music. The yacht club also hosts fun events like beer and wine tastings.”
Jason: “Where do you find yourself spending the most time in the condo and why?”
Seller: “The upper balcony was my sanctuary! You could often find me there enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or reading a book on my tablet on a lazy Sunday afternoon.”

Jason: “Do you recall the average utility costs in summer and winter?”

Jason: “What do you miss most about your former condo lifestyle?”
