How I Represent Buyers

Since 2012 I have represented buyers across South Tampa, Downtown Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the beaches. The homes change, but the process does not. Each stage below has its own page with the steps, the documents, and the decisions that are yours to make.

The six stages

1. Financing and the buyer agreement: pre-approval or proof of funds, the written buyer agreement, and how I am paid.
2. Search and tours: a search built on your drive times and water type, private showings, and remote tours for out-of-state buyers.
3. Offer strategy: price from closed sales, terms that win without overpaying, and how I read your leverage.
4. Inspections and due diligence: the inspection period, the reports that matter in Florida, and how we handle findings.
5. Insurance: wind, flood, and the quotes you get before the inspection period ends.
6. Closing and after: title, survey, the walk-through, wire safety, and the homestead filing after you move in.

How this differs from a typical buyer experience

• Numbers before opinions. Every offer comes with the closed sales behind it, so you see why the price is the price.
• Florida-specific due diligence. Flood zone, elevation, roof age, wind mitigation, and condo reserves are checked on every home, not only waterfront.
• Insurance inside the inspection period. You know what the home costs to insure before you are committed.
• One point of contact. I run a solo practice. The person who shows you the home is the person who negotiates it and sits at closing.
