How It Works...
After understanding your wants and needs, I’ll use your custom profile to begin our search for the perfect home.
When you know, you know. I work quickly to weigh all your options and present a competitive offer that wins.
This part can be scary. I educate my buyers to help them understand the inspection reports thoroughly. Not everything is as bad as it seems.
I aim to have your closing move quickly and efficiently. Not only do I negotiate the best price but I manage the entire closing process from start to finish.
Once you move in, your real estate experience isn’t over. I provide you with a list of trusted vendors to make your life easier: landscapers, electricians, pool cleaners, etc.
I take the time to understand your needs so we don't waste any time looking at houses you won't care about.
On top of that, I effectively communicate so that my buyers understand they have someone in their court looking out for their best interest.
If you're an out-of-state buyer, I even do virtual showings and let you know what new developments are coming to the area so you can be in-the-know.
It’s easy. When you work with me you can start searching for homes whether you’re looking to buy tomorrow, next month, or next year. It never hurts to get a feel for what’s on the market. Start your search now!
Have Questions?
Nope! Generally, when working with a real estate agent as a buyer, there are no costs involved. The seller of the home you purchase is responsible for paying your real estate agent. It’s completely free for you to have an agent on your side!
Like most of these questions, the answer depends. However, the most common answer is 3% to 5% of the purchase price. FHA loans dropped their requirement from 3.5% to 3.0%. Some conventional loans require 3% down. Veterans are eligible for a VA loan, which requires no money down.
Ultimately, it depends. But if you’re obtaining a loan to buy a home, closing costs for buyers can include:
1. The inspection ($300-$600)
2. The appraisal ($400-$600)
3. The survey ($250-350)
4. Title and settlement charges
5. Escrow money
6. Down payment
7. Transaction Fees
Of course it varies, depending on the property and the loan, but it is a good idea to ask your lender for a Loan Estimate as you’re applying for a loan. Once it gets closer to closing time, your loan officer will provide what’s called a settlement statement. This will have a breakdown of all the closing costs involved with your transaction.
This varies case-by-case. It depends on the type of loan and the type of property you are buying. But usually you can expect the loan process to take around 30 days.
Tons of people move to SWFL with the intent of using their home as a vacation rental. There are different rules when it comes to how long you are able to rent your home out. Some locations allow weekly rentals, some locations allow 90 day minimum. There is no quick answer to this question. However, if you are looking for a rental property, let’s talk and figure out which home is best for your goals!
