Helen Townsend Spohrer

REALTOR/Broker

Prudential Shimmering Sands Realty

My real estate career started on St. George Island in 1981, and I have helped people from around the world become part of the Forgotten Coast and its environmentally-protected communities. I primarily work on St. George Island, in Apalachicola and around Franklin County, but have experience in other coastal areas of the Florida panhandle and in the Bahamas.

I have expertise and experience with bank owned properties (REOs) and short sales as well as waterfront and resort properties for investment, second homes or residences. Commercial properties are limited in my area but most buyers purchase for investment.

I have lived here since 1980 and love the natural environment, wildlife and diverse ecosystems. I was born and raised in Louisiana, and my undergraduate degree is from Louisiana State University. My husband John and I are loyal Tiger fans, and love SEC sports. John is a wildlife photographer and writer. We live on five acres on Mitchell Creek (Apalachicola River) with our four rescued dogs. John and I also own a TV channel that produces environmental, eco-adventure, history, culture and local programming. Go to www.forgottencoasttv.com to learn more about this area.
