Relocating buyers – especially retirees moving to a new market – often arrive with a clear picture of what they want. That picture can become even stronger with the right guidance, according to Bobby Mathews, Team Leader at BluSkye Group with RE/MAX Foxfire in Ocala, Florida, and the agent’s job is to surface what the ...
The biggest risk in a fix-and-flip project is not picking the wrong house. It is running out of money halfway through the renovation. The issue is not the down payment. It is everything that comes after it. Scott Ward, owner of Lakewood Ranch Lending and the parent Ward Company in Bradenton, Florida, has closed more ...
Buyers considering waterfront property anywhere in Florida tend to treat insurance as a dealbreaker before they have priced it. Along the Gulf Coast’s barrier islands, agents say the difference between an alarming quote and a manageable one often comes down to something surprisingly simple: whether the buyer contacts a national carrier or a local insurer ...

Inventory is up, prices are softening, and seller concessions – credits toward closing costs or interest-rate buydowns – have become a common negotiating tool. But in the luxury corridors west of Dallas, that playbook stops working above a certain ...
In parts of the Midwest where the housing market still favors sellers, a split is emerging that has less to do with location than with condition. Two houses can sit side by side in the same neighborhood, built around the same time, and sell at noticeably different prices. The difference, according to Jean Lewis, who ...

They would rather offer the buyer a credit at closing and skip the hassle. It feels logical: give the buyer money to do the work themselves and avoid spending cash on a home you are ...
