Com/Ag/Res. Please see our reviews on our website: AdvantageHighlands.com/Testimonials Her legal expertise has benefited both our buyers and our sellers.

We pride ourselves on being knowledgeable and staying current with changes in the real estate market and other markets that will affect the success of your transaction. I'm Greg Karlson, and I have in-depth knowledge of the real estate and the people in Highlands County, because I grew up here. In fact, I graduated from Lake Placid High School, and I have decades of experience listing and selling real estate in our Heartland area. After graduating from Florida Southern with a Bachelor of Science in Business Finance, I obtained my real estate license. At the beginning of my real estate career, I chose to work with some of the highest accredited professionals in the industry, who had designations of MAI (Member, Appraisal Institute) and CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member). As my passion for residential, commercial, and agricultural real estate grew, I opened my own real estate office in 2004 in Sebring. Starting with just four associates and $10 Million in listings, we quickly grew to $35 Million in sales within a year. We now have over 30 associates specializing in residential, commercial, agriculture, and rentals/property management. We also lease commercial properties and have added a residential rental division to expand our offerings. My wife's law office, Karlson Law Group/Pamela Karlson Attorney, is located in my real estate office, and it has really complemented all of our property divisions. In 2020, we achieved over $60 million in sales for our commercial, agricultural, and residential properties. In 2021, we hit $86 Million in sales as more and more people rush to Florida from the Northeast looking to escape the big cities, COVID-19, and escalating crime factors. We have over 30 agents ready to help you achieve your advantage--your dreams and goals--in real estate. Call 863-386-0303 or visit www.AdvantageHighlands.com!

🌊🏡 Heard about the “Silver Tsunami”? Here’s what it really means if you’re planning to sell!

You may have seen headlines warning that a wave of homes owned by older Americans is about to flood the market. The reality is a lot calmer than the headlines make it sound. 👇

📊 About 13.9 million homes owned by older Americans are expected to change hands by 2036 (Realtor.com). That’s roughly 1.3–1.5 million a year, a slow, steady trickle, not a tidal wave.

🏗️ The U.S. is still short millions of homes after years of underbuilding, so new listings will help fill that gap instead of crashing prices.

🏘️ What matters most is your local market. Prices, inventory and how fast homes sell can look very different here in Highlands County than in national headlines.

Thinking about selling? Don’t let a scary headline make the decision for you. Get the facts about your home and your neighborhood first! 🔑
