Everyone knows that purchasing a home can be one of the most enjoyable and exciting times of your life, but before the keys to your new Daytona Beach area home or condo are in hand, there is a process that can include some hurdles and stress. Pre-approvals, showings, more showings, and negotiations lead you to a signed contract to purchase, but now it’s time to take a closer look at that new dream home.

Home inspections are a vital part of the home buying process. It is always recommended to have a professional, licensed inspector perform a full review of your potential new property. Inspectors verify basic items like the age and condition of the roof, HVAC, hot water heater, appliances and more. They also look at visible plumbing, electrical, and

It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year: Tax Season! Said no one, ever. But as the year comes to an end and we look forward to the holidays, many of us are also considering our tax implications for the coming year. It is no secret that Florida does not have a state income tax, which is fantastic, but unfortunately that’s not the only taxes to consider, especially for retirees. The good news is that a recent study by Kiplinger’s found that Florida was the 8th most tax-friendly state in the country for retirees. Florida has an about average sales tax rate, an average property tax rate (if you’re not on the oceanfront!) and there are additional homestead exemption benefits for homeowners aged 65+. Plus, there is no estate tax or inheritance tax

Today is the day! New rules go into effect today that may help more buyers find the condo of their dreams in Daytona Beach, Ponce Inlet, Ormond Beach and surrounding areas. Previously it was very difficult to finance a condominium purchase with an FHA loan, as many Daytona Beach area condo buildings were denied qualification outright due to occupancy rates and finances. In fact, before today, only 6.5% of condos in the state of Florida were approved to participate in FHA mortgage insurance programs. However, the new rules taking effect now will, among other things, allow the FHA qualification to be based on a single-unit approval process, rather than based on the entire complex. These changes could allow up to 60,000 more condos statewide to win FHA

Florida has one of the largest populations of United States veterans in the country, and we help many veterans with the purchase of Daytona Beach area properties. While veterans often use their VA guaranteed home loan for single-family residences, there are opportunities to use a VA loan for the purchase of condominiums as well. Gaining VA approval for condo buildings can sometimes be difficult, but we know the current VA-approved condo buildings and are very familiar with closing sales in these buildings. We have helped

Move over four-wheel drive trucks and four-door sedans because driving the compact sands of Daytona Beach doesn’t get any better than on a cruiser bicycle. Beach cruisers, as they are commonly called, are a favorite among locals and tourists as they provide a comfortable and relaxing ride along the World’s Most Famous Beach. Basic beach cruisers often feature balloon tires, an upright seating posture and are made with a heavier steel construction than is found in other bike types. The addition of a wide, comfortable seat, a rear rack, and even a horn will make the miles of beautiful blue Atlantic coastline drift by on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Beach cruisers were developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s in response to slowed bicycle sales following the Great

They say, “Timing is everything”, and that could not be more true than when it comes to the sale of your Daytona Beach, Port Orange or Ormond Beach area property. We field many calls and inquiries from customers looking to maximize their sale price on a home or condo, and according to a recent study by Realtor.com, the answer is the first week of April. This is no April Fool’s joke, as the study finds that homes listed in the first week of April received 14% more online views and are projected to sell six days faster on average than the rest of the year. The availability of homes and condos for sale is often still low after the holidays, and with many buyers entering the market in early April, it is the perfect time to capitalize on the low inventory.
