As many markets are suffering with distressed properties and declining values, so is Central Florida; however, Central Florida’s setback is only temporary. Its real estate market is on the rebound and will continue to be so. 

“Wonderful things are happening in the Greater Orlando area,” says Carol Ann Hewitt, broker and owner of Oxford Realty, an international real estate company specializing exclusively in luxury homes and estates. “We are experiencing unprecedented growth.” 

Southwest Orange County continues to be a drawing card with its easy access to all the best hotels, attractions, entertainment and the beautiful lakes. The town of Windermere is a favorite and boasts the famed Butler Chain of Lakes, where one can enjoy a variety of water sports and where you will find some of the most prestigious, gated communities and waterfront estates.

It is in this area where Hewitt and her highly skilled estate agents at Oxford Realty have been selling some of the highest priced properties in Orange Country for more than 30 years. As a Certified International Property Specialist and a Certified Luxury Marketing Specialist, Hewitt works through her many networks to attract international clients to her local market. Her acquired knowledge of foreign cultures and customs enables her to work at ease with the many foreign clients who are attracted to this area.

“What makes us different is that we are a small boutique luxury real estate company with highly experienced agents who provide  very special services for those who need them, and we all love doing it,” Hewitt says. “The Central Florida market is an exciting market, and we are glad to be a big part of it.”

Yes, Central Florida is like the rest of the country—a bit depressed—but be on the lookout for the rebound.  It is emerging rapidly! - Reynolds Fuller
