Step 1 — Pre-approval
Before you tour a single home, talk to 2 lenders. You'll thank yourself later.
Step 2 — Pick your area
Florida is huge. Narrow it down: lifestyle, commute, schools, insurance cost.
Step 3 — Tour smart
Visit at different times of day. Notice traffic, noise, sun direction, and neighbors.
Step 4 — Offer & inspection
A strong agent saves you thousands here. Inspections in Florida should always include roof and HVAC age.
Step 5 — Close
Title, insurance, walk-through, keys. Plan 30–45 days from accepted offer.
