Buying – An overview


The actual process of buying a home in Florida can be fairly straightforward if you start off on the right foot and do your homework.

The ‘rules’ governing the purchase of a piece of Florida property are clearly laid out in the Florida State regulated contract for sale and purchase, otherwise known as the ‘FAR/BAR’. The FAR/BAR contains clear concise expectations relating to performance for both parties, thus providing a ‘roadmap’ of what needs to happen by when for the sale to complete successfully and to all parties’ satisfaction.

The more difficult aspect of the buying process is the groundwork leading up to the actual purchase. Once you’ve made the decision to actually buy property in Florida, this then opens up the floodgates to a slew of further questions and decisions you need to make. From working out your budget and what you want from a Florida home to investigating what the current local market trends are; these are all crucial parts of the process that need to be tackled and analyzed by the buyer to ensure the buying experience is a happy and rewarding one.

The aim of this website is to answer buyer questions and make the buying process transparent.
