Wiest also serves as principal broker for Jubilee Realty, and the two operations share a focus on video marketing, producing full-motion HD tours of listings with an in-house videography team. Before this he worked with Keller Williams, Robison & Company and ZMR Realty. The office handles residential sales in St. George and the surrounding county.

The independent middle of the market

Most brokerages in Washington County are independent offices of this size — large enough to hold a roster and cover for each other, small enough that the owner still knows every file. They compete on relationships and local knowledge rather than on brand recognition, and between them they hold a substantial share of the county's listings even though no single one of them is large.

The setting

Its address puts it on Main Street, the spine of the original pioneer grid, within a couple of blocks of the tabernacle and the temple. Reading outward from the door, the nearest communities in our directory are Foremaster Ridge, Sunbrook and Southgate.

Buying a first home in this county

First-time buyers in Washington County run into two things at once: a market with a lot of out-of-state cash competing for the same entry-level stock, and a set of Utah-specific loan programs most people have never heard of. Utah Housing runs down-payment assistance with its own eligibility rules, and rural USDA financing covers more of this county than buyers expect — Hurricane, La Verkin and Leeds among other places. Ask an agent at Ecore Premier LLC which of those a property qualifies for before you rule it out. Our first-time homebuyer guide has the detail.
