Your Florida home-buying plan
Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, a good plan starts with your questions. Think about where you want to live, what feels comfortable financially and what you need to understand before moving forward. I'll help you connect those pieces to a practical next step.
Start with your priorities
List your preferred areas, daily travel needs, home features and timeline. Separate must-haves from preferences so you can compare homes with a clear purpose.
Understand your budget
Think in three numbers: the down payment, your estimated cash to close and your monthly ownership budget. Include taxes, insurance, any mortgage insurance or HOA dues, and an allowance for maintenance. The planning tools give you a starting point; then we'll review property-specific costs and the financing options that may fit.
Prepare for the property review
Ask about inspections, association documents, insurance availability and property condition. Review transaction documents with the appropriate professionals before making decisions.
