Cash buyers are abundant in Florida real estate. Retirees are coming to Florida to enjoy retirement. Are you tired working day after day and never having time to do any of the things you like to enjoy? People in Florida are enjoying living. If your employer has a 401k its important you take advantage of it. You need a retirement account. When I first came to Florida I took a short term job that was horrible. The people were all great there which made it nice but the job was just horrible and I love to work and work hard. One day one of the workers just a few lines away from me at about 8:15 in the morning dropped dead. My cousin who had recently lost her husband at the age of 50 had recently told me that life is too short to be doing something you hate day in and day out. When this man died I thought how horrible to die at work. To not even get to enjoy retirement. Some people retire and become ill or die shortly after. Tomorrow is never promised. Be sure you are enjoying ...

For some people finding the right home can be a difficult task. I am writing this blog to help alleviate some of the stress and frustration that can result. I have worked with several buyers in multiple price ranges from homes under 200,000 to homes over 700,000 and the task has been just as difficult. It can take days, weeks, and many hours driving around searching. At first looking at different homes is fun. After several days of it my buyers start getting tired and frustrated. The biggest tip I can give you to alleviate being stressed and frustrated is to determine what your wants and needs are. Begin by writing a list of what your home must have the right price=______________ ex. under 450,000 or between 250 and 350. the right size = _______ # bedrooms _____# bathrooms ______________ size in sq ft range (+/-)ex between 1500-2000 sq ft Location ______________ this can be city/town/county/ subdivision/waterfront or miles from work. Does the size of the lot matter? Do yo...

Before you go out shopping for a home it is recommended you speak with a lender. You don't have to apply but you should speak to one. They can give you great tips and advice. If the lender you speak to is not personable and knowledgeable offering advice I would seek another lender. Lenders are very needy people and the process of purchasing a home can be very tedious and annoying. It is good to work with someone you like and don't mind talking to for a couple months. Yes it can take a few months. The paperwork is time consuming but home shopping is time consuming as well. Finding the right home that suits your needs in the right location is not always easy. You will need a good realtor for that but to start you need to pick a lender. The contract in Florida gives you up to 5 days to apply so not much time to shop around for a lender once you find a home. Comparing lenders can save you a lot of money in fees. Another reason its good to be ready in advance. There are a few di...
