BUYING SARASOTA PROPERTY

Buying a home is certainly one of the most rewarding experiences most of us ever have; it's also one of the most challenging. If you're buying for the first time, the process may seem overwhelming. And even if you've been through it several times, every move is different and presents new challenges.

One clear advantage of enlisting the help of a sales professional is simply that you don't have to go through it alone. A good sales professional has the background and skills to help you through each step of the process, and make the experience of finding, buying and moving into your new home as smooth, quick and enjoyable as it can be. Another advantage is that a sales professional represents a valuable source of information about market trends; communities and neighborhoods; and especially homes for sale throughout the area.

Jan's Sarasota Suggestions

  • Where do I begin the process of looking for a home?

    The first thing you should do is to begin focusing on what you're looking for in a home. You can start by establishing priorities in the following three areas:

    Location: Are you relocating to a new town because of a new job or to be closer to your current job? How will the location of schools, shops, and transportation affect your choice of neighborhood?

    Personal Tastes: How large of a home do you need? What style of architecture do you prefer? What type of lot do you prefer? Depending on where you move to, you may have a choice of homes in dozens of styles, sizes, and settings.

    Budget: How much home can you comfortably afford?

    As you consider these issues, do a little research of your own. Look through magazines for ideas about home styles and features. Drive through neighborhoods that appeal to you to see what's available. Read the real estate listings in the newspaper to learn about current prices in the areas you're considering. Talk to friends about the features that you'd really like to have in your home. The more knowledgeable you become, the better your final decision is likely to be.

    Then sit down and consider carefully all the things you're looking for in a home. The Homebuyer's Wish List worksheet is a good starting point. Shoot me an e-mail and I will make sure that I get a copy to you. When you've filled it out, you'll begin to get a good idea of what you'd like your dream home to be.

  • In any event, take a moment and look over my listings. I will be happy to help you with any you find appealing.
