Our practice spans Central Florida from the Gulf coast to the Atlantic coast. While our work is geographically diverse, our projects are linked by a focused dedication on work ethic and pride throughout the home buying/selling process.
The builder’s in-house lender wasn’t able to approve this buyer, so we had to talk to another lender that would be able to qualify him and for the amount he needed to purchase his dream home. He got a pre-approved, but it was right under the price of the home he wanted to buy. Luckily, the price dropped in his favor the next day and we were able to secure a $26,300 credit from the builder! 👩🏽💼📈
Congratulations to the Venezuela family and I hope you enjoy making this new house a home! 🍾🥂

Sending out a huge CONGRATULATIONS to this cute family! 🍾
Just a few days after they went under contract with this home, Roxanne’s job announced they weren’t allowed to do overtime anymore so she was worried they wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly payment. We had to renegotiate with the builder to make it work comfortably with their budget and we did! They were able to proceed with their purchase with a $15,000 credit! Congrats to Roxanne, Jake and baby Avery and welcome to your beautiful Florida home! Patience and hard work pays off! 🥂 🏠 🌴

Please help me congratulate this mother & daughter who are relocating from California! Since they were still living in California while shopping, we coordinated and drove them to showings while they were in town. Once we knew the area they wanted to be in, it was a matter of finding the right new construction model. They were more than happy when we negotiated for a $28k price reduction, $19k builders credit and got it under contract with a 5.75% mortgage rate. It was all downhill from there as they attended the new home orientation virtually while we went over every aspect of the home. Finally, they flew in for the closing and to receive the keys! 🔑 🏠 🍾
Congratulations Susan & Georgia, welcome to central FL! ☀️

Help me in congratulating these first time homebuyers and the newest residents of Haines City! With a desire to relocate to central Florida from south Florida, it was love at first sight when they saw this newly constructed, NO HOA, spec home! The cherry on top was the $6k credit we were able to negotiate from the seller. Congratulations again, Lou & Czarina! We’re so excited for you! 🍾🥂🏠

These brothers were not able to secure a loan for the home that they were originally under contract with. I found them this more affordable, brand-new home in a newer community just south of Orlando but the in-house lender was not able to approve them as well. So I found them another lender that was able to make it happen and we were still able to negotiate 25K closing credits from the builder! On top of that, they were able to lock in an interest rate of over 1% lower than the market rate! Woohoo! 🎉🍾🥂
Congratulations Crispin and Jay-R! Thank you for trusting me. Enjoy your brand-new home! 🏠🌴🔑

When closing day is on Halloween… 👻 😂
Who said people who rely on tips can’t get approved for a mortgage? Well, not when you work consistently like this couple who both worked diligently for the past 3 years in order to achieve their dream! Yes, it’s true that “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullsh*t story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it!” Because anyone can! 💯👊🏽
I’m super proud of you, Jhondale and Thalia. You deserve all the blessings in this world! I’m glad it all worked and the 24K seller’s credit helped with your budget! Congratulations again on your brand new home and most especially to the new baby boy coming soon! 🏠🤰🏽🍾🥂

Here are the top benefits of house hacking:
#1: Reduced living costs. Rent from tenants can cover your mortgage, property taxes, and maintenance.
“Over 40% of Florida’s population are renters, making it easy to find tenants!”
#2: Passive income. The rent you collect provides a steady income stream.
“Florida’s rental prices have increased by an average of 5% annually over the past decade!”
#3: Building equity. As your tenants help pay down your mortgage, your property’s value increases.
“Florida’s real estate market has appreciated by 30% in the last five years!”
#4: Tax benefits. In Florida, you can deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation.
“Florida has no state income tax, saving you even more money!”
#5: Flexibility and security. If you need more space or decide to move, you can keep the property as an investment.
“Over 900 people move to Florida daily, keeping demand high!”
