We hope you find our website and variety of links very helpful in your search for information. Your relocation to Orlando or Tampa Bay, Florida and the purchase of your future home is very important and we want you to be able to make an informed decision by providing you with the tools you need.

The thought of moving, especially long distance, can be more than overwhelming. By having a plan in place hopefully it will help prevent unexpected issues that may arise and reducing the overall stress of moving. Just as important, you need the right information, not only to buy your home, but take care of all the incidentals after your arrival. So, we have compiled a list of resources that we hope will be useful to you and help make your transition to Florida a smoother, less stressful experience. If you are relocating from another city or state then you will want to visit our Orlando Relocation Guide or Tampa's Relocation Guide, both packed full of valuable information.

Once you find a home then you will need to speak with a mortgage broker or lender who will assist and guide you with a loan that will best suit your needs. There are many different types of loans on the market today. Visit our mortgage page to learn more about FAQ's, 1031 Exchange, Capital Gains Taxes and more.

There are several things that you will need to take care of once you are in the process of finalizing your home purchase; inspections of your future home, termite and pool, etc. In our list of resources we have listed several companies that perform these inspections or if you already have someone you want to work with that's even better. And, before you can even close on your new home you will have to have a homeowner's insurance policy in place. We feel three quotes are always best; however, if you already have an insurance company that you have done business with your best resource will be them, if you are happy with their service and rates. They can possibly recommend someone here in Florida unless they hold licensing in Florida. In addition to what has already been mentioned, you'll find information about the area utility companies, Chambers of Commerce for both the Orlando and Tampa Bay areas.

You can learn more about the Central Florida real estate taxes by visiting the county websites. Our real estate taxes have recently changed, so be sure to visit the county's property tax appraiser's site of the county in which you will be living. Orange County, Seminole County, Lake County, Osceola County, Polk County, Volusia County, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Pasco County, Hernando County, and Manatee County.

For home owners who are thinking about listing their homes we have a Seller Net Sheet that will give you an ESTIMATE of what you will net when you sell your home. So that you are aware, if your home is being foreclosed by the lender or you put your home on the market as a short sale, there will zero proceeds to you. If you are in either one of these situations with your home you should learn more about foreclosures and short sales. It's important for you to understand as much as possible. There can be some serious ramifications from either one of these.
