GETTING STARTED

“Buying a home is one of the biggest accomplishments in life.”

Whether you are a Florida local or from out of state, I strive to make your experience buying a Southwest Florida home an exciting and enjoyable one. I start the buyer’s process with an interview to get to know you, your likes, dislikes, lifestyle, and needs. Next, I put together a custom buyer’s packet based on the areas and communities you express interest in. The buyer’s packet includes details like attractions and things to do in the area, assessments (city, sewer, water), and property taxes. I don’t want you to experience any surprises as you embark on your journey to buy a southwest Florida home.

Finally, I set you up on our special portal. The portal gives you immediate, real-time access to listings. It also serves as an excellent educational tool and lets you know the instant a favorite is back on the market or when the price dropped on a house you had your eye on.

While I know the buying process is exciting, it can also be intimidating and stressful. This is why I work alongside you to educate and guide you every step of the way, from start to finish. Knowledge is power, and this rings true in the real estate industry. I know the Southwest Florida market inside and out, and living in the area provides invaluable connections and awareness of market value.

I also strive to make you feel comfortable, knowing you can trust me and my 20 years of market experience to give you an honest assessment of the pros and cons of each home and area. When you buy, you are buying a lifestyle — I want you to love the lifestyle you purchase.

Distance can be a challenge when purchasing a home from out of state. YouTube, Zoom, and FaceTime tours of the house, neighborhood and community makes a long-distance purchase convenient. My numerous connections and networking through popular social media platforms, along with my team at national RE/MAX, provide information on countless listings to help you buy a southwest Florida home. Whether you are looking for a vacation condo, your first home, a begin-again home, or simply a change, I can find you the perfect fit.

INSIDER ADVICE FOR BUYERS

If I could offer any buyer advice, I would tell them to really look at the home’s resale value. What is the long-term longevity of the house? While the home may be an ideal fit now, chances are it won’t always be. Often the home you purchase won’t be your forever home. When it is time to sell, you want to ensure you can get your money back and (hopefully) make some money while you’re at it. See your house as not only a place to call home but as an investment. Keep in mind that if part of the property, home, or community is a hard selling point, that part will be a hard selling point for a future buyer.
