Why Owning Is Better Than Renting
Why Owning Is Better
Than Renting
Save money and build wealth
- It is less expensive to Own than to Rent, in most cases.
- Fixed-rate mortgages can offer predictable monthly housing costs, helping you avoid rent increases (the average annual rent increase in South Florida is around 18%, making it difficult for renters to stay comfortably in one place).
- Tax benefits (deduct mortgage interest & property taxes on your tax returns.
- Start building wealth by attaching yourself to an asset that typically appreciates in value, builds equity, and increases your net worth over time.
Freedom and opportunities
- More space for your family to grow, thrive, and feel a great sense of pride and accomplishment.
- Control over your living space, with the ability to customize, make upgrades, and renovate without worrying about landlord restrictions.
- Homes with a pool and/or front yard or garden (or simply making new friends) can be beneficial for your children's health and happiness.
- Option to rent out your property or a single room for additional income.
Family security and stability
- Live in a better school district and provide your children with access to higher-quality education.
- Gain a sense of community and belonging as your family becomes part of a neighborhood and local culture.
- Friendly neighbors can become close friends and a valuable support system when you need help.
- Financial stability for your family. A home can be passed down to your heirs, providing a valuable asset and sense of family history and continuity.

Winning In A Multiple Offer

We have extensive experience in navigating multiple offers and specialize in helping our buyers get their offers accepted. We have many times been up against 5-10 offers, and sometimes as high as 15-17 offers, and we are proud to say that so far we have won the contract for our clients in each and every one of those multiple offer situations, even against cash offers. We'll work with you to develop a strong offer that not only meets your needs and budget but also appeals to the seller's preferences and priorities. Call today to learn more about how we can help you secure your dream home and negotiate the best possible terms using our "7 Elements of a Winning Offer"!

Are You Pre-Approved?
Are You Pre-Approved?
What does this mean?
Pre-approval is a lender’s commitment to lend to you, which is the first step of your home buying journey, even before starting to shop for a home. The pre-approval process involves assembling your financial records such as paystubs, tax return, and records of any other loans or credit accounts. On average the pre-approval process can take up to a week or two. Luckily for you, our lending partner has the fastest, most thorough and most reputable pre-approval process in the industry and can provide pre-approvals in as little as 4-8 hours on the same day of application (assuming you cooperate with quickly gathering and sending in your documents)!
The first step...
Pre-approval provides you with a clear picture of what you can afford and conveys to sellers that you're a serious buyer who they can close a transaction with if they accept your offer. Pre-approval also expedites the process for closing on a loan and makes you a more attractive buyer for sellers who want a quick and efficient escrow, or who are dealing with an urgent matter requiring them to sell and move out ASAP.
Do Not make the mistake of pre-diagnosing yourself because you think you have bad credit or too much debt. Going through the pre-approval process allows our team to give you a roadmap to help you increase your score and put you on the right path to overcome such obstacles so you can ultimately improve your financial situation and buy your desired home sooner than later! Simply give me a call and my team and I will guide you through this entire process seamlessly.
What's the next step?
Call me so I can get a basic understanding of your situation. I will help you prepare for what to expect from the pre-approval process to the home buying process and answer any questions you may have.

"If you are looking for a top notch real estate agent, look no further! Jeannie helped my husband and I purchase our forever home located two counties north, which is a little scary when leaving your comfort zone. From the get-go, she made us feel as though we were family. We felt so comfortable and she was always so organized and thorough providing not only details about each home we toured, but also details about the surrounding area and restaurants. She was always on call for us.....very communicative. She went above and beyond and when we needed to get things done on the seller side, she was there for us as well. She did the job of 2 realtors and always made us feel as though we were her only clients and put our needs first. I could not have asked for a better experience in purchasing our new home. She truly is the best and it is evident why she is ranked among the top 1% of realtors."

She made the process painless and sold our home in literally 5 hours! Words cannot describe how grateful we are for her.
