Buying and Selling Real Estate in Florida
By David Chandler
Florida is known as the "Sun Shine" state, and the reason is clear.
People move to Florida for many reasons, but most that move
there stay there. Florida is known for the warm weather year
around and beautiful landscaping that surrounds its cities. Florida
weather and lifestyles vary significantly depending on which side of
the state you move to.
Buying a home
Relocating to Florida has many things that need to be taken into
consideration. Touring the state by car is recommended for anyone
considering a move to the state of Florida, as it is important to
understand that not all parts of Florida are the same.
Where you choose to live will honestly influence how happy you
are living in Florida. We recommend that you find a buyer's agent,
as they will serve you best. Whether you are buying a house for
the first time, or if you are experienced in how to buy a house,
finding the right Florida real estate agent is an important decision.
o Look at each house you are considering purchasing the same
way you would if you were purchasing stocks and bonds.
o Check out the reputation of the builder if you are planning to buy
a newly constructed home.
o Only make an offer after you have inspected the property or with
a contingency, that the offer is made after the inspection is
complete.
o Make sure the owner's title insurance policy that covers you, not
the lender, if your ownership is successfully challenged.
o Try your commute to work during rush hour, before you commit
to buying a house, this will give you an opportunity to see if this
will work out to an advantage for you, and if the location will be
suitable.
o Check out the property to make sure it has proper drainage if it
rains.
o Buy a house that is fundamentally sound even if its design is not
the best. Do make sure that you will want to live there.
Have your own inspection first; this will give you an idea of the
actual condition of the house. You will probably not see what the
inspector will. First time buyers typically will not have an inspection
completed because they figure that the government has already
done it.
Selling a home
Relocating to Florida? Do you find your house is just not big
enough for your family? Then it is definitely time to move. There are
many properties that are available throughout Florida and some
more suitable for families than others.
How much is your home worth? You will need to make sure that
you get the most out of your home, and you can do this by having
it appraised. Making some minor changes to the look and feel of
the house. Have an open house so that prospective buyers can
look around and see what they can do with the house. The value
of your house with minor improvements can really raise the
amount of money you make.
Note:
Living along coastal lines in Florida can leave you devastated if
there is a hurricane. So keep this in mind. Like any other coastal
property, it has the good and the bad advantages of living there.
