You are writing an offer in one of the hottest small towns in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, Oviedo, Florida. We know there are multiple, multiple offers and it’s competitive. As a Realtor working with buyers, I would give them my back-of-the napkin, gut feel about how strong their offer is and their odds of it getting accepted. That was based on my years of experience, my read of the situation, and how I see offers coming in for the listing on our own team.
In a market like this, homes that are priced well and in good condition get multiple offers.
Finding a realtor is probably going to be one of the most important things you do.
How does someone purchase a home that’s in foreclosure? There are three ways.
The mortgage process is detailed and complex. Many of the forms from application through closing overlap and create confusion. Consumers often worry that their mortgage contains risky features or that their costs will increase suddenly at closing. The new Truth in Lending/RESPA Integrated Disclosures or “TRID” was designed to reduce paperwork and to make the complex mortgage process less confusing for the consumer.
Often we work with home buyers who are hesitant to get a mortgage loan pre-approval letter from a lender.
We occasionally receive calls from buyers who want to work directly with our listing agent. Our listing specialist and the listing side of our team work only for the sellers. It’s part of our value proposition to homeowners who hire us to sell their home for them. We do not represent buyers and negotiate against homeowners who hired us.
We have helped several families on both sides of the transaction – home buyers and sellers – with the Home Partners of America Lease with Right to Purchase Program. All the details are on their website, https://www.homepartners.com/how-it-works/program-summary. Here’s a brief overview for home buyers:
Am I paying too much rent for my apartment or house rental? Is it better to buy?
What should my credit score look like? Will my student loan or car loan debt affect my ability to purchase?
Do you want to ensure that all the homes around you are well maintained on the outside? Do you want amenities within the community?
There isn’t much vacant land left in Central Florida zoned for single family residences or agriculture that doesn’t have some wetlands on it.
When it comes to transferring real estate from a seller to a buyer, one crucial aspect that often comes into play is title insurance. This policy is essential to ensure that the buyer receives a clear and marketable title to the property. In Florida, the process of obtaining title insurance has some unique customs and practices that buyers and sellers should be aware of.
The Jean Scott Team doesn’t stop working once we’ve gotten your home under contract – my name is Laci, and I handle Contract to Close for all of our clients. It’s my job to ensure that your home moves smoothly through all of the many steps of the closing process.
We often get asked by home buyers here in the Orlando, FL area if they need to pay for a survey and why would they need one. The short answer is, “Yes”. It’s our opinion you should pay to have a survey done before purchasing your home. There are several good reasons for getting one.
Often buyers and sellers are surprised by some of the issues that can pop up within the last few days before closing. Sudden difficulties when you feel like you’re right at the finish line can make what was otherwise a smooth transaction feel like a nightmare. On the Jean Scott Team, we pride ourselves in doing everything we can to prepare our clients for any possible scenario – one of the hurdles most often unexpected is funding.
