Tips on successful purchasing in Florida

Get pre qualified for a mortgage. In this way, you'll be able to make a firm commitment to buy and make your offer more desirable to the seller

Stay in close touch with your real estate agent to find out first about new listings available, be prepared to visit quickly. Be ready to make a decision by spending time in advance deciding what you must have so you won't be unsure when you have the chance to make an offer

Restrictions such as needing to sell your home before you move or delaying closing until a certain date can make your offer unappealing. If there is a delay - talk to your lender about getting a bridging loan to cover both mortgages for a short period

Don't get caught in a buying frenzy. Just because there's competition doesn't mean you should just buy anything - do not neglect inspections that help ensure that your house is sound

Five Reasons You Need a Real Estate Agent

A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page government-mandated settlement statements. A knowledgeable guide through this complexity can help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.

Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Even in a strong market, homes in our area stay on the market for an average of 60 days. And it usually takes another 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.

Real estate has its own language. If you don't know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it's important to work with someone who speaks that language.

REALTORS have done it before. Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. And even if you've done it before, laws and regulations change. That's why having an expert on your side is critical.

REALTORS provide objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and roof, home selling or buying is often a very emotional undertaking. And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase they'll ever make.

Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the business and emotional issues most important to you.
