Make your wish list of the criteria you and your family would like for your Florida property: Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, screened pool, square footage, price range, time scale, short-term rental?

• Discuss your criteria with us as your Realtors® and we will search the M.L.S. (Multi Listing Service website where all properties for sale are listed) and provide you with the matching properties that are available for sale at the present time.
• We will make arrangements for you to visit all of the properties at a convenient time to you and the owners accompanied by ourselves.
• You will make a short list and decide which of the properties you visited (if any) you would like to purchase. We will discuss the price and several conditions we can include in your offer to the seller.
• We present your offer to the seller giving them a date and time deadline to reply. The seller can refuse, counter-offer or accept your offer. Based on the seller’s response we will discuss your next step until we achieve an agreeable sales price and closing date to both parties.
• You we need to open an American bank account, we can help you with this. You will require only $100 and 2 forms of identification (passport and driving license).
• To finance the property you have several options, an equity realise from your property in UK, apply for an American mortgage or a combination of both. We give you contacts for several mortgage companies.
• You will need to pay a “Good Faith Deposit” that will be held at the Title Company for you. This takes the property off the market to give you time to arrange financing.
• As the buyer it is recommended that you have the property inspected by a certified inspector this will cost you around $350-$385 depending on the size of the property. The home inspector will deliver his inspection report to you and the seller will pay up to a previously agreed amount to do repairs.
• If you decide to finance your purchase with an American mortgage the finance company will send out an appraiser to appraise the property for the loan.
• When all inspection and appraisals have been completed and the finance is in place the Title company will then proceed to do a title search on the property address to determine if any liens are attached to the property.
• The title company will then put together all the paperwork for both buyer and seller to sign, notorise and return to them. If the buyer or seller is overseas this is generally done by FedEx.
• When this is completed the closing then go ahead on or before the scheduled date that was previously agreed by both parties on the contract.
• The closing can be done at the title company, it is not necessary for either party to be present for the closing.
