FORT WALTON BEACH — Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions most people will make. An upcoming trade show is designed to make the process easier and less nerve-wracking by bringing together all the parties involved to one location. The Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Building Industry Association of Okaloosa and Walton Counties and the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors have partnered to offer the One Stop Real Estate Shop trade show Aug. 11. “It’s the first time that these three organizations have come together for the community,” said Ted Corcoran, president of the chamber. “You have the builders, the realtors and you have all the rest of the businesses in theory with the chamber. “There’s huge excitement in bringing the business community together because that’s really what we have. With the three organizations’ memberships, there’s several thousands of businesses involved,” he added. “The three entities together will certainly be the largest business organization consortium in Okaloosa County for this one-time event.” The trade show is scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. at the St. Mary Family Life Center at 110 Saint Mary Ave. in Fort Walton Beach. The event is free and open to the public. The trade show will feature banks, builders, real estate agents and others to answer questions from residential and commercial real estate buyers and sellers.
Alan Baggett, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association, said the show will offer one location where builders can have a booth to display what they are building and have available, banks can show off their foreclosed inventory and real estate agents can show what they have available. “It’s kind of a unique animal,” Baggett said. “I don’t know if this has really ever been done before.
“I’m very excited that three organizations that are so different have come together and are working so well together,” he added. “That’s been very evident.”
