How our industry has changed!  But in true character our local builders have weathered the storm and once again proven they are resilient and dedicated to homebuilding!

Needless to say just as the industry has changed so has the market. Long gone are the days of putting a pretty ad in a magazine for “image”. With precious few marketing dollars available it just does not work that way anymore.

No one knows that better than Florida Home Media. We have been here through thick and thin. When the main stream media was touting doom and gloom we focused on builders who stepped up to revive unfinished subdivisions and making them neighborhoods once again. And as the local newspaper headlines screamed dismal national numbers we focused on the thriving and rebounding local market.

We have committed our publications throughout the state to continually lead the industry in terms of content and effectiveness! And while others are cutting back in their distribution, Florida Homebuyer Media has done just the opposite, expanding  the distribution of our Florida Homebuyer magazines into most area Publix supermarkets, hundreds of area Realtor® offices, major employers, lenders, chambers of commerce, and economic development commissions. The Map Guide to New Homes is available in hundreds of area retail locations including ALL area 7-11 stores, hundreds of area Realtor® offices, major employers, lenders, chambers of commerce, and economic development commissions.

Our searchable data base (TheFloridaHombuyer.com) is the only reliable, comprehensive and inclusive listings of available models, plans, and specs. This database also feeds the search portion of the websites for  The Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando, Orlando Regional Realtor® Association as well as hundreds of individual Realtors. This unparalleled distribution partnership is designed with one goal – to help sell new homes.

To help you reach the Realtor® community we will continue to offer eblasts, flyer drops and event management.

As you can see, Florida Home Media, and our team throughout the state has faith in the new home industry; it is the heart and soul of our business.
