Frequently Asked Questions

I've been a licensed real estate agent in Orlando and helping clients navigate the Central Florida real estate market since 2017.

I specialize in residential sales of both new construction and resale homes across Orlando and neighborhoods throughout Orange, Seminole, Osceola and parts of Lake, Polk and Volusia County.

The best first step is to connect with me so I can understand your goal, answer questions and get clear on what matters most. This allows us to build a plan tailored to your unique situation and timeline.

It depends on the property, loan program and your specific financial situation. Some loan options allow as little as 3% for a down payment, with others allowing 0% down payment. Buyer closing costs can also range between 2-5%, and can sometimes be covered by the seller. I help you explore your options, connect you with a trusted lender partner that's right for you and your specific situation, and negotiate for your benefit.

It's important to understand your purchasing power before starting your home search to avoid setbacks and frustration. I will connect with a trusted lender who can help you understand what you can afford, because affordability is more than just the mortgage payment. It includes property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, maintenance, and your lifestyle goals so you feel confident about the full picture.

Not always. I help you strategize the timing based on your situation. Options include specific contingencies, creative financing options, or temporary housing. Every scenario is different, and I help you figure out what works best for you.

Buyer closing costs in Florida can range between 2-5% of the purchase price. This includes lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, home inspection, and prepaid items like taxes, insurance and possibly HOA fees. I help you minimize these costs through strategic negotiations.

The home selection process itself varies based on your criteria and the market. On average, my buyers find the right home within 2-3 weeks of starting their search. Then, from contract to closing, it typically takes 30-45 days.

My menu of services is competitive and always discussed upfront. My compensation is based on your needs and typically a percentage of the sale price that normally gets paid from proceeds of the sale. We review and discuss everything together before you agree or sign anything.

The days on market (D.O.M.) greatly depends on a balance of your property's pricing, condition, location, and local market conditions. I provide you with a local market analysis, realistic timeline and my marketing plan based on your specific property details and the current Central Florida market so you can feel confident listing your property with me.

Not necessarily. We focus on the improvements that have the highest return on investment. Some repairs are worth making, others aren't. I provide honest, specific recommendations based on what buyers in your area expect.

Seller closing costs in Florida typically range between 6-9% of the purchase price. This can include transfer fees, agent compensations, taxes, title fees, insurance, and other prorated items. I provide you with detailed estimates early on so you can understand what you will likely walk away with after the sale of your house.

Absolutely. First-time buyers are some of my favorite clients to work with. I enjoy walking through every step of the process, answering your questions, and making sure you feel confident from start to finish.

Yes. I work with buyers throughout the new construction process, from selecting a builder and lot to reviewing contracts, overseeing construction, and navigating the closing. Having an advisor who understands the process can save you significant money and headaches.

I understand that buying or selling a home doesn't always fit into everyone's busy schedule, so I do my best to work around my clients' availability whenever possible. My business hours are Monday through Friday, 9AM - 6PM, and Saturdays by appointment. I reserve Sundays for family, unless there's something truly urgent that can't wait until Monday. My goal is simple: be available, while still showing up as the best husband, father, and Realtor possible.
