- Check out this video that we just made on HOW AFFORDABLE LIVING IN PENSACOLA IS. Hopefully you like it.
If It's your first time to the channel, Welcome - My name is Tim Ekelund.
I want to thank you for the opportunity to help you with one of the most important decisions in your life: The successful purchase or sale of your home.
I am a dedicated family man and spend as much my free time with my children and wife as my real estate career allows. We love to travel, enjoy the beach and boating activities. I am an active member of a Rotary group and love to give back to the community.
In retrospect, the decision to make Pensacola my permanent home was the best move of my life.
In summary, I believe I bring something completely different to the table that separates me from other real estate agents, and would love an opportunity to work closely with you to sell your home.
I know exactly how overwhelming and stressful it is to move and shopping online to find the perfect neighborhood, and home to fit your family's desired lifestyle and budget is next to impossible.
My mission is to provide you and your family with the best information and content to make your decision and move easy, stress-free, and fun.
So go ahead and check out some of my other videos. And if you're even thinking about moving or relocating down here to Pensacola Florida, You've got to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, message me on Facebook, by any means necessary. Because we've got your back when it comes to moving to Pensacola Florida!
🚨 If you want to know exactly what it's like to eat, live, work, play, and thrive in Pensacola Florida.

Moved from Santa Barbara to Pensacola last year, Best move ever.Warm water, great things all over the place, great people for sure, To fellow CA folks moving or thinking of moving here-remember why you are moving and don't bring crazy ideology here
I just subscribed. I've been looking for a nice warm location to move to and Pensacola was mentioned. Since I never heard much about it I decided to check it out and I'm loving most of what you're saying about it and now a little excited to learn more and most likely choosing Pensacola as my new home. Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you :)
Tenho planos de me mudar para USA ano que vem. E essa cidade me encanta. Obrigada. May from Rio, Brazil.

Hey man thank you for all information about this Beautiful place, I start looking at your videos because I want to move to Pensacola Florida, Buy your videos it’s seems pretty cool over there, but I have a question, is it too hard for a truck driver to live over there?
Can you do a video about opportunities for truck drivers at Pensacola Florida?
Thanks for watching. The few people I have helped relocate that drove trucks are good. If you call me I can see how I can help you better :)
Nice video. My wife and I are thinking about moving down from Colorado. My dad lived in Pensacola.

Hi Tim, my family is considering a move out that way from WA state. My husband is a flooring installer... Are there new homes going up regularly in these areas, so he'll hopefully have a steady supply of work?
Thank you for these videos!

tHANKS FOR THE INFOS. mAY YOU PLEASE SHARE THE TAX YOU PAY ON YOUR HOUSE OR ANY HOUSE. tHANKS
Can you do a video on Cantonment? You have done other areas and cities. My wife and I are moving to Pensacola in 3 weeks and we are renting for now. She will be working East of Mobile and I have a job in Pensacola so we need to stay on the West or Northwest of Pensacola.
Yes sir, will do.
Do you have an updated video of this topic?
No, but wr will make one. Good request
I live in San Diego and I’m thinking about Pensacola thanks for your videos where would be a good place to buy for around 200 or less
Hey Perry awesome....hit me up and we can help you out
Affordable rentals in Pensacola are usually not always but usually owned by slumlords. Pensacola seems to have so many slumlords. As for affordability, car insurance and homeowners insurance are out the roof.
Thanks for watching. Our car insurance isn't high but yes homeowners is.
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida It is high, maybe not as high as Arizona.
The first home I clicked on Zillow, I was immediately like this can't be right. Scrolled on and the houses were all much more affordable than Nashville. We are moving down around August.
Very affordable
Bring a gun and have a good security system it's dangerous here we are one of Americans deadliest small cities
How is the Rental market currently? I'm planning to move to Pensacola as soon as I finish my Masters degree which hopefully won't be too much longer. And from your honest videos, I think I'll be contacting you the moment I'm ready to make that journey.
Awesome. Rental market stinks, it's high but we will do the best to find you exactly what you are looking for.
I’d like more info on the houses
Hey Joshua, thanks for watching. I can definitely get more info on houses...feel free to call me or text me for specifics :)
I'd love to come home. 😢
Can you do a video about condos for sale on the waterfront in Pensacola?
Absolutely!
Ttying to find a house to rent april first moving from ohio not sure were to start its closer to family thats ill not sure were to start
Any experience on how the automotive industry/ culture is here? Income will be coming from automotive as well as hobbies besides the beach!
I have a few buddies that own automotive businesses and they enjoy it. It depends on what kind of hobbies you are looking for. Dirtbike riding, fishing, kayaking, running, trail riding, shooting, hunting, most sports.....tell me what you are looking for and I can do my best to answer.
We are considering moving from California (way too expensive anymore) since my husband has retired from the Airline industry. I really find these videos helpful and I was pleased to learn you are also a realtor. We may have to contact you for some help and suggestions! Thanks for the information.
Hi Shannon, please do 850.637.8622
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida Thanks. If we decide to go for it, I will give you a call. Take care!
I wonder why you’d wanna move away from California 🤣
keep that blue vote in california
@@__Ryan_ its gotten incredibly expensive to live here. Just our monthly Power and gas bill is $450 to 500 a month. And our rent has gone up $1000 a month over the past 7 years. We can't afford to buy a house out here and still be able to make it. So we have to find someplace else
Can you do a video on neighborhoods around good schools? We will be moving there right before my son starts Kindergarten and I'm worried about finding a nice house only for him to go to a horrible school :/
I will definetely do a video on different schools. My son goes to AK Suter which we love. My older son went to NB COOK which is a lottery school which is an awesome school as well. My nephew went to Cordova Park, one of my clients has a daughter at Blue Angel.....Lots of great schools :)
Gulf Breeze has the top schools in Florida
A $250k house in Pensacola costs $350k in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
So you pay $100k more here in WY for the same house, minus the beach, weather, food, shopping, higher education, entertainment, etc etc etc.
Thanks for watching.....and the comment
That is what happens when there is political interference in a market.
@@bighands69
In the case of Wyoming, it's not political interference.
House prices are super inflated because the market is captive.
People don't have nearby communities to buy in.
Closest next town is 45 minute drive.
And closest town not in Wyoming, is 30 minutes away in CO.
I'm moving down there in may. My daughter lives in navarre. After comparing rental prices it seems pensacola is way cheaper then navarre. I'm curious as to why. Is there more crime in pensacola. ? Pensacola does seem like a great place to live though.
Thanks for watching. Navarre has less opportunity so it should be less expensive. Not as many restaurants, shopping, the airport, etc.....I love Navarre though
Great are you in the Real state norma from New Jersey
Hi, yes
Thank you for this channel I'm from new Orleans and been thinking about moving to Pensacola in a year or so do you know if pensacola has good public schools?
I love me some NOLA...I will be doing a video on this. My wife and most of our friends graduated from Booker T. Washington HS and they turned out OK, lol.....My nephew goes there now and we like it :)
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida I been to Pensacola a whole bunch of times it seems like a safe city is the crime bad in some areas?
I think this is a great place to live and raise a family....Just like any city some areas have more crime than others.
I'm still looking for a spot to rent, hotel fees are expensive
where do people go during hurricane season?
is there a lot of thunder and lightning or just during hurricane season?
Thanks for watching and for the comment. We stayed here and my wife said we will stay unless it is a cat 4 or 5. It depends which way it is going if people want to leave. We have some of the coolest most epic lighting and thunder but not during a hurricane as much at least not that I remember :)
We don’t “go” anywhere. Pensacola is a pirate town, through and through. Yeah, they try to dress it up with shopping and beach life, but the Pensacola is rooted in hard work and destruction from natural disasters. We don’t run away when stones come. Gotta be here to rebuild when they leave. Pensacola isn’t for pussies.
ER RN looking to relocate to Pensacola, Navarre area. Spent a year on Navarre (stationed at Hurlburt). Looking to go back. Where can I see your listings?
Hey hey, that is awesome. www.1stclassgulfcoast.com. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help :)
DON'T DO IT! I left there for a reason. Bad outweigh the good. Wages are terrible!
Do you help families find rental properties? We are moving there in April/May
Hey Heather, I am sorry I don't. I would get on pensacolamls.com and look there. Hope this helps
Hi Tim,
My name is Randy and I am interested in relocating to Pensacola FL. with my spouse on 2022. Could you please tell me more about East Hill properties. I am retired and also a Vet. Looking forward to hear from you soon.
I would love to tell you more east hill. Feel free to reach out on my email (tim.ekelund@1stclassagents.com) :)
Wow a cheap place in Florida. Figured it would be in north Florida because down here in south Florida it’s super expensive. Even Port Saint Lucie is expensive now.
Not too many cheap places here now....
nothing is cheap here anymore. 1BR apartments are running $900 a month and they are very well kept up. Pay doesn't match rent or home prices.
Hi Tim , is Pensacola better place to buy a home then Panama City beach?
Two different places
How are ticks in the area?
Not sure, never heard of a tick problem.
Hi I am moving to ur area w/my family.oct nov flexible a rental 2/2 my budget up to 850
Not too sure, get on pensacolamls.com
I'm applying for Federal jobs in that area.....and wow....the pay is so low.
Hope you find something.....
You’re correct. Pensacola may be affordable, but the pay for jobs-to the extent there are any-is abysmal. The only people there with money are some ambulance chasers and physicians.
Not bat tbh but I HATE having to drive through pace bridge just to get to the Pensacola beach tho
I am with ya
Go to Navarre or Perdido
Do you know of any rentals available now? Looking to move from North Carolina.
Hi, it's hard but check out Pensacolamls.com
Looking for 2 bd 1 ba for me and my daughter if you could send me a list of availabe properties...i cant finf anything under 950 to 1000 and thats way outta my price range unless it included all utilities paid for that price
Go to Pensacolamls.com and you will be able to find many places under $1,000. Let me know if you need help.
Those rentals he's talking about are in rundown, bad areas of town. Or you are gonna be 40 minutes from the beaches or town. To get something decent you will be in 1300 dollar range or more. Housing like everywhere else is exploding right now.
Couldn't have said it better myself. He did make this video 6 month ago to be fair though. Absolutely insane looking at price leaps rn. About 20-40% higher than they should be
Yes the rental market is crazy now...
I WANT SOME FARM ACRES......
We got that....haha
omfg vista17 who in the hell thought that was a good location for "luxury" apartments? that is literally 2 blocks from the projects. i worked for the pizza hut that handles that area and we would not deliver to attucks court day or night it's legit that bad of an area! People talk to a native of Pensacola before you just trust this guy who clearly does not understand the areas and supports a place in a very rough area.
Your comments are well appreciated my guy
#Truth
Please let me put you in touch with my wife. She recently moved to pensecola and is staying with our daughter in an apartment at the moment. As soon as the house sells here we are looking to find our own place there. Please help.
Thanks for watching and commenting.....I am here to help in any way.
Do you still sell real estate in Pensacola? Maybe you can help us find something after we sell our property here in AZ.
Would love an opportunity to help you and if you need a referral for a rockstar agent in AZ let me know :)
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida Will do, thank you very much. 😊
I need help with a rental.
Pensacolamls.com
Are those fixer uppers you are talking about?
No not necessarily
I cant understand why it looks so empty if there are half a million people there. Im from and live in the bay area of ca and it is getting unbearable with traffic and people everywhere, all hours of day and night people, out and about. has changed in last 5 years drastically. must be nice to live in a place like pensacola. not sure if it would be for me though.... houses look a little dreary like the ones you see in crime stories.
Pensacola is not for everyone. :) I love it here and others who lived here love it here as well. It depends on the person I guess. :)
Hi Tim, we are intrested in moving that way; want to rent before we buy. Do you manage any property rentals? Or can you point me to good source? Thanks for these videos, super informational.
hit me up 850.637.8622 whenever u can :) thanks
We are planning inmoving to pensicula hopefully by July of 2022.
Do you assist in looking for rentals?
We are coming from California.
Y'all will love it here! :) If you need anything just let me know. :)
No we don't do rentals
Hey Tim do you have any month to month lease for rental currently?
Sorry unfortunately we don't.
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida Morning Tim! Is Pensacola beach area less than Destin?
In regards to living cost n rental my budget is 800-1,000 for a rental
Moving here the middle of May from Texas is it hard to find a place to live don't really want to live in an apartment
No it is not hard. If ever you need anything just let me know. I would love to help you find a home :)
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida sounds good I believe we are moving there April 19th
Welcome to our little city!
200. If i sold my house in Utah I could buy 5. HMMM got me thinking. Why everybody moving to Utah?
My cousin Angela nyree dixon lives in pensacola florida I am working at mcdonalds as a maintance man I am thanking about transferring my job from kentucky to pensacola florida
Nice! Pensacola is a awesome!
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida yes pensacola is awesome
Affordable just depends on you particular financial situation. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. 😉😁
Yessir, thanks for watching.
My name is Robert ,I'm currently living in California but it's to expensive here .I want to move there but will need a place to rent and need to find a job.is there away you can help me with those to things .would be willing to pay you for your time.
Hi Robert, I can not help you find a job or a place to rent but if you go to pensacolamls.com you can find a rental. Good luck with the job search.
Dude average the cost of a house in San Diego where I live which is comparable to Pensacola cause I’ve been to Pensacola is $550,000 small small one bedroom condo in a bad neighborhood is $350,000 dude what are you talking about that’s like a free home
First thing I’m thinking is, if it’s so great there why are you broadcasting it to the world? I wouldn’t want a bunch of outsiders moving in and ruining the local vibe. Then he starts pitching real estate, now I get it.
Why wouldn't I broadcast it to the world? It's not like its a hidden city? lol....thanks for watching
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida You’re right, being a military area it’s not a hidden city, but in many ways it is still one of the last slices of Old Florida left. When it gets over developed like most of the rest of Florida let me know how you like it then, lol.
One of my son's is USCG and just got stationed in Pensacola. He was so happy because he wanted to go some place warmer having grown up in the midwest (Omaha). I have to laugh when you say homes in Pensacola are expensive at $250k. That would get you a cookie cutter here that's cheaply built. We have a 3,000 sq ft home built in 2012 and bought it for $310,000. It's now valued at $410,000. Given the fact you don't have state income tax and you have an awesome Governor, FL is looking pretty good right now! Especially since we have a blizzard going on right now as I type this.
Suggestion: Instead of just talking about homes or apartment costs, why don't you actually take some video of examples. It's great to get your personal opinion but most people watching this are probably not from Pensacola or even perhaps FL and want to know what the homes and apartments look like. Thanks
Don't be fooled by not having a State Income Tax. You can be sure EVERYTHING ELSE is taxed to the hilt to make up for it.
I'm looking for a house or townhouse with a garage for rent.
pensacolamls.com is a great resource for rentals :)....thanks for watching.
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida do you have any listings?
@@LivinginPensacolaFlorida something around 1400 a month
Too expensive now
Thanks for watching
Shhhhh..stop telling people how amazing Pcola is! No new people 😆
lol
500-66 a month for a studio maybe or a 1 bedroom in a shitty part of town
What is a shitty part of town to you, may not be to someone else. Thanks for the comment though
Did he mention that living anywhere along the Northern Gulf Coast is pretty much akin to living in an armpit?
Thanks for the comment but completely disagree. This area is beautiful.
Every place you film seems like a ghost town.
Ya I try not to be in crowded loud areas :)
He's one of the rich. I wonder has he lived in or paid 550 since college years or first single apartment but still had better then most down here in Pensacola call me let me tell you about real Pensacola fl 😂
I'm scared about crime, though. These cheap homes you speak of... I can't help but feel like they're surrounded by trashy folk.
Yes
I’d say stay out of downtown area. Any street with a number or letter I’d avoid. There’s still greatly priced homes. I live off Pine Forest Road which is a highly sought after area, but I just got an appraisal for my 3bdrm 2bath 1352sq ft 1996 manufactured home on 4acres in that area for $130k. But probably gonna sell it for $118k once I find the right real estate agent
I'm LMAO!
You're scared of poor people??
@@pepperpie9481 It’s a statistical fact that violent crime is much higher in poor areas. I’m poor, myself, but I try to find areas that are relatively safe.
Pensacola is cheaper than Oxford Ms
Thanks for the info :)
If you love the water , you will love Pensacola !
Absolutely!
Because dead stdsers and new ones whole new batch same name
When I grow up I might move to pensacola but I’m only 9 so I have a long
Time to decide also I LIKE FROGS 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Awesome, thanks
Wow, those under $1000 rents really look like dumps… 🫣
Thank you for your comment :)
