There is more to finding the perfect property than just searching the Internet

Whether you are looking for a home or condo, we must first identify your needs.How many bedrooms and baths do you need?What areas of Sarasota are you interested in? Do you want to be by the beach, bay, gated community or golf course?Are you looking to be near a certain school?Do you know about the differences in buying from a traditional homeowner, foreclosure (REO) or short sale property?

TRADITIONAL HOME SALE

The homeowner is selling their

home.

Usually in this case the

homeowner has been maintaining

their home and also preparing it

for sale.

They have to sign a disclosure

allowing the prospective buyer to

know the condition of the home

(to the best of the seller's

knowledge).

REO – Foreclosure Property

These are properties that the Bank Now Owns!

The bank is the Seller and Decision Maker.

These homes are usually sold “as is” since the bank has no prior knowledge of the maintenance or condition of the property.

SHORT SALE PROPERTY

These properties are in the beginning stages of the process.

The Bank may or may not have already started foreclosure procedures but the properties will require BOTH Owner Approval & Bank Approval of the Sale Price.

These properties will require the most negotiation and patience Short Sales REQUIRE 3rd PARTY

APPROVAL!

How do I submit an offer on a home or condo?

After viewing several properties in your price range and deciding on a property to purchase, you then start the buying process.

What I do is give you (the buyer) a list of comparable homes that have recently sold or are pending sales. Many times actual selling prices are not available for pending sales but you should know which homes are in the process of selling. This gives you an idea of market value and activity.

After getting all the necessary information on the property, it is the buyer's decision on the price of the offer.

I will get the offer presented and the seller has the opportunity to either agree to the sale price or to counter the offer.

This may go back and forth several times and if both parties come to an agreement a contract is signed.

How do I finance the property that I want to purchase?

Before purchasing a home, you need to meet with your

mortgage representative and discuss the financing for a

possible purchase.

Bank Owned - Foreclosure (REO) properties require proof of

funds or a mortgage commitment to submit with a contract.

Traditional financing for a single family home is 20% down

but there are many other programs available,

especially for owner occupied homes.

For more information on this,

contact your mortgage lender.

HOME INSPECTION

In all cases, homes have the right to be inspected and the buyer can then

make a determination if they want to continue with the sale. If this is not in

the contract - it is in the buyers best interest to have it inserted as a

condition of sale.

Do I need a home inspection before

buying a home or condo?

It is in the buyers interest to get both a home and pest

inspection before buying a property.

Even if the home is sold “as is” you the buyer, should be

aware of the condition of the property.

This will help you make a better decision.
