An old adage states that the three most important factors in real estate are location, location, and location. At Florida Realty Marketplace, we believe that there’s a fourth factor that is far more important: providing high-quality customer service to our clients.

When someone mentions an HOA, most people immediately think of busybody neighbors handing out fines and making ridiculous demands. However, this reputation is very undeserved. While there are a few bad HOAs out there, far more of these Homeowner's Associations are very helpful, keep neighborhoods looking great, and provide outstanding amenities. If you purchase one of the homes for sale in Winter Haven, FL that is in an HOA, you may have questions about the fees you're asked to pay. Here's a breakdown of what the HOA fees do and why buying in a neighborhood with an HOA is beneficial.
After the negotiations, the inspection, and the appraisal, the final walkthrough may seem anticlimactic. After all, by this time, you’re almost to the finish line. You’ve likely been through the house several times, so you have a really good idea of what you’re buying. But the final walkthrough is more than just a formality. It’s also not something you should skip or go through quickly. Even if you’re buying new construction homes for sale in Windsor Island Resort, it’s still important to treat the final walkthrough seriously. Here are a few things you should keep in mind about this process.
Typically when a home buyer is looking, they are looking buying new construction or perhaps buying a resale home. There are benefits to both, but before making a decision, you should learn about the costs involved. Would it be cheaper to build a new home, or should you consider buying one of the resale homes for sale in Kissimmee FL or other parts of Florida? Let’s take a look at the costs of each so you can make an informed decision.
While buying a home is likely the biggest purchase you’ll ever make, you still want to feel like you’re getting a good deal. Most buyers, especially first-time buyers, want to submit an offer that’s under the asking price. There can be many reasons for doing so, and those reasons are often very valid. However, you want to make certain you’re not submitting a low ball offer that the seller will simply dismiss right away. You want to be strategic in crafting your offer. For example, it's unlikely that you'll get any price discount on homes for sale in Charles Cove because they are new vs a resale home in Davenport. Here are some tips for getting the best deal.
Everyone loves getting a good deal, especially when making a large purchase. Some people seem to have a knack for finding great deals, and that knack even extends to homes. If you’re looking to find a great deal on new homes for sale in Charles Cove, your only option might be to call us, but if you're looking for a resale there are 4 classic ways we find deals for clients (outside our trade secrets). We’ve put together a few tips that will help you get the most for your money. We’ve also outlined some things you need to keep in mind when you see a home that seems to be too good of a deal.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every industry, and that includes real estate. With social distancing and other concerns at the forefront, you may be thinking of postponing your house hunt.

The housing market continues to remain strong, and real estate agents have quickly adapted to showing homes during the pandemic. If you're looking at new construction like the homes for sale in Windsor Island Resort, or resale homes in elsewhere don’t let the pandemic stop you.
