7 STEPS TO BUYING YOUR DREAM FLORIDA HOME IN 2018

-


It’s the time of year to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions. For 2018, why not resolve to buy your  Florida vacation or investment dream home? While buying a home can be an intimidating process, the Globecore team is here to help. From representing you in the purchase of a home to providing loan services through Globecore Home Loans partners, we are truly a one-stop shop. If you are thinking about buying a house, but aren’t sure exactly where to start, here are some helpful tips to get prepared.
1) Determine a down payment amount based on your available funds.
Take a step back and analyze your finances. While 20% down is generally the rule of thumb, there are plenty of options for those people who need to put down less. Our partner lenders Home Loans offers multiple mortgage options including 1% and 3% down payment plans? Find out more here.
2) Define a monthly payment amount that fits your budget.
No matter what you put down, you need to be comfortable with your expected monthly mortgage payment. Allow for some flexibility and don’t overextend yourself.
3) Start gathering important income and asset documents.
The more information you have up front, the better. Take some time during the holiday break to gather up tax returns, pay stubs, personal bank statements, and asset statements so you are ready to hit the ground running when speaking or meeting with your loan advisor.
4) Get a pre-approval letter from a mortgage professional.
This might be the easiest step! With Globecore partner loan advisors, you can literally get a mortgage pre-approval in minutes. It’s so simple. Call 407-392-0379
5) Shop for your home.
Check out all the amazing homes Globecore has to offer! GC lets buyers express interest in a home without making a formal offer. Buyers simply fill out our “Indication of Interest Form.” It’s an easy way to see if both sides are in the same ballpark. If you are, we can draft a formal offer that makes sense to both parties.
Don’t see a home you like on Globecore? Ask about saving money with our Buyer Rebate Program.
6) Work with a Globecore Florida agent to make an offer.
GC Florida Buyers Agents are here to work for you. Our agents don’t work on commission, so their top priority is getting you the best deal possible on your dream house.
7) Move in
Resolution complete! Enjoy 2018 in your new Florida home!
