Hi, I'm Richard Schwartz, a retired musician who discovered the magic of Putnam County, Florida, and decided to call it home. After years touring the country with my music, I relocated from West Texas to this serene corner of North Central Florida, drawn by its relaxed lifestyle, stunning lakes, and welcoming communities. Now, as a real estate specialist with Coldwell Banker Ben Bates, I help others make the same rewarding move—whether you're seeking lakefront homes in the north central lake region or a peaceful rural retreat in western Putnam County.
What sets me apart as your relocation specialist in Putnam County FL? I combine my passion for the area with a data-driven approach to deliver real results. Using in-depth market trends, property values, and financial analysis, I ensure every decision is grounded in facts. But it's not just about numbers—it's about story-telling your perfect transition. Imagine trading urban hustle for quiet mornings by Lake Lochloosa in Hawthorne, or commuting stress-free from Keystone Heights to Gainesville. My clients rave about the benefits: lower property taxes (around 0.8-1% effective rate in Putnam vs. higher in neighboring counties), more value for your money (homes in the 250-400K range—or less—with rental potential near fishing tournaments), reduced traffic and noise, and abundant outdoor activities like boating on Lake Geneva or hiking in Gold Head Branch State Park.
Specializing in relocation to North Central Florida's Lake Region—centered around Grandin with a 15-mile radius extending into parts of Clay County (Keystone Heights) and Bradford County (near Starke)—I guide moves from nearby spots like Ocala, Middleburg, or Gainesville, as well as national relocators seeking affordability and tranquility. Whether you're eyeing lakefront properties in Melrose, rural land in Interlachen, or a vacation home in Florahome with income potential from events like Bass Masters tournaments, I handle the details: from virtual tours to seamless transactions. You'll get professional, knowledgeable, and respectful service, infused with a touch of humor to keep things enjoyable.
