Bill Gates House Hunting in Martin County, Florida

Martin County, Florida is one of the best kept secrets in Florida. No high rises. No traffic. Great beaches, fishing, golfing and restaurants. And if you need the high life, just minutes to the Palm Beaches.

Bill Gates has been quietly looking for a home on Jupiter Island, joining the list of famous folks like Celine Dion, Tiger Woods, Olivia Newton John and dozens of others that enjoy the peace and serenity found in Martin County. All of these stars could just as easily purchase a home in Palm Beach, but they are not interested in "being seen" as enjoying life. And that is why Martin County is so special.

When I left the corporate world, I could have lived anywhere in the world. I also chose Martin County. I'm tucked away in a gated golf community in Jensen Beach, just five miles to some of the best beaches in the world. If you're thinking of relocating, and you're not sure where to settle down, consider Martin County. I'd welcome the opportunity to take you on a tour of the area.

Back to Bill Gates - For the past few months Gates has been making offers on high end Jupiter Island properties. But the offers have been lowballs, and he has been unable to lock in a home. Maybe that has something to do with the agent he is using, a 25 year old who claims to be representing two of Bill Gates' investment arms.

The key to finding any home, is to know what you "really" want. Obviously, Bill doesn't know what he wants, as his agent has made numerous offers. You can't possibly want all of these homes. When you have as much money as Bill, you should spend time researching what you want. And if Bill was my client, we'd have him or his wife looking at these properties from a helicopter, from a boat and on the ground.

It seems like Bill just wants a "deal," even if it is not really what he wants to live in and enjoy what Martin County has to offer. I have news for Bill. Even a lowball offer on an overpriced home with hidden problems, is a bad deal. There are many overpriced homes in all markets. There are also homes that might be right for one person and wrong for another. If the home is not right for you, why offer anything?

In any event, I always find it interesting to hear about the rich and famous that are quietly moving to Martin County or purchasing vacation homes here.
