Question 1

How quickly will someone respond to my inquiry?

Accepted Answer

Within 15 minutes during business hours, and almost always within the hour outside of them. Every inquiry routes to a licensed agent, not a call center.

Question 2

How much do I need for a down payment?

Accepted Answer

Conventional loans commonly start at 5% down, FHA at 3.5%, and VA loans at 0% for eligible buyers. Putting 20% down avoids mortgage insurance. We introduce you to lenders who will quote you in writing.

Question 3

What closing costs should a buyer expect in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Budget roughly 2%-5% of the purchase price. That typically covers lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, inspection, recording fees, and prepaid taxes and insurance.

Question 4

What does a seller pay at closing?

Accepted Answer

Sellers generally cover brokerage compensation as negotiated, documentary stamp taxes on the deed, title and settlement charges by local custom, and prorated taxes. We provide a written net-proceeds estimate before you list.

Question 5

How long does it take to sell a home?

Accepted Answer

Our listings averaged 14 days to contract last year, versus 38 for the wider market. Correct pricing, professional photography, and pre-inspection are what compress that timeline.

Question 6

Should I get pre-approved before touring homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pre-approval sharpens your budget and makes your offer credible. In competitive segments, sellers rarely consider offers without it.

Question 7

Do you help with investment and rental property?

Accepted Answer

We do. We model gross yield, expenses, and realistic vacancy for long-term and seasonal rentals, and can refer vetted property managers.

Question 8

Can I break my listing agreement?

Accepted Answer

Our agreements include a straightforward exit clause. If we are not performing, you are not trapped.
