Buying a Home in Northeast Florida?

Your Agent matters - in today's economy you need the experience of a seasoned agent who will listen to what your needs are - most agents sell properties the traditional way however with our unique *"BUYER PROFILE SYSTEM"* it is you the consumer who selects the properties you want to view. Each day I will send you Valuable information directly from our *REALTOR* website of properties based on the criteria you selected.

When you are ready to view properties and make offers please understand standard protocol is for buyers to provide "proof of funds" - for cash offers, (A Bank Statement will do) or a pre-qualification letter from your Lender upon submitting an offer for the property you like.

For those of You who will be qualifying for a loan please be aware lending constraints are the number one issue holding up sales for buyers right now, if you aren't considering a move for a while, getting pre-qualified now makes sense.It can give you a chance to discover any hidden credit issues and fully understand what amount you can qualify for and how much you need for closing costs,down payment, and prorations, which will help you be better prepared when the time is right to start aggressively searching for homes.
