About Home904.com

Home904.com was built to make home searching in Northeast Florida clearer, calmer, and more accurate. Buying or selling a home here isn’t just about the data—it’s about understanding neighborhood rhythms, commute realities, and how day-to-day life actually works once the excitement wears off.

This platform exists to help people get oriented before making big decisions. Not to rush. Not to overwhelm. Just to provide a clear, local view of the market so choices feel grounded instead of reactive.

Why Home904 Exists

Most people begin their search on large national real estate websites. Those platforms are useful early on, but they often fall short when decisions become serious. Neighborhood differences get flattened, automated estimates miss local nuance, and listings don’t always reflect what’s actually happening on the ground.

Home904.com was created to bridge that gap—combining real-time MLS data with local context shaped by living and working in Northeast Florida every day.

A Platform Built Around the First Coast

Northeast Florida does not function as a single market. Searching in Orange Park feels very different from searching in Fleming Island. Middleburg often attracts buyers looking for space and flexibility, while Green Cove Springs appeals to those drawn to a smaller-town rhythm and walkable pockets near Spring Park.

These distinctions matter once real life sets in. Home904.com is designed to reflect them instead of smoothing them over.

Founded and Led by Local Expertise

Home904.com is founded and led by Susie Takara, REALTOR®, a Northeast Florida real estate professional who created the platform to bring a relationships-first approach to the digital home search.

The site mirrors how Susie works in real life—clear communication, steady guidance, and an emphasis on helping people understand the full picture before they commit, without pressure or sales tactics.
