Smart Buying: What every Tampa Bay buyer should know before making a move
The 2025 Reality
The market is shifting. Prices are softening, inventory is up, but deals are falling through due to insurance, inspections, and financing surprises.
Florida Is Different
โ 15+ year-old roofs = insurance risk
โ 4-point inspections are often required
โ Wind mitigation affects your insurance quote
โ Flood zones change your payment (checkย your zone here)
โ HOA (community upkeep) and CDD (new infrastructure) costs vary widely
What I Do Differently
ย I work with a limited number of clients at a time, I'm able to offer truly boutique real estate experience - personalized, strategic, and never rushed. Most agents talk about homes. I prep you for the deal โ the strategy, the timing, the things that kill closings. No sugarcoating, just real talk and smart planning.ย
