Your Retirement Community Specialist
1. SELECT YOUR LENDER
"Pre-Approval Letter" OR "Proof of Funds Letter".
If you want a mortgage to purchase your home you need to select a bank or credit union and apply for a mortgage. The lender will ask for 2 years tax returns, current bank statements, proof of income, credit report, etc. The lender will then issue a "Pre-Approval Letter". This is the first step in determining how much house that you qualify for. Whether or not you want to spend that much on a home is up to you.
If you are paying cash for your home your bank will issue a "Proof of Funds Letter" stating that you have the cash in your account.
This must be completed before moving on to step 2.
2. SELECT YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT
Brenda Wallenstein, the Broker of Ocala Town and Country Real Estate LLC is a Retirement Community Specialist. You can benefit from her 25 years of Florida Real Estate experience and education including a Bachelors Degree in Business, Short Sale & Foreclosure Certification, FL Real Estate Brokers license and a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Florida Association of Realtors.
3.SELECT YOUR NEW HOME.
As your agent we will sort through the over 3700 homes currently for sale. We will research to find you just the right location, subdivision, type and size of home, year built, home condition, amenities (pool, golf, restaurants), HOA home owner fees, taxes and the best overall neighborhood for you. We will schedule a tour and show you all homes that fit your needs, no matter which real estate company has the home listed for sale.
4. MAKE A PURCHASE OFFER
Ocala Town and Country Real Estate LLC will write up the contract, present it and negotiate to get you the best price and terms on your home.
We will research the information that you will need to decide how much to offer on a home. We will tell you how much the seller paid for the home and when, what the seller owes on a mortgage, how long the home has been for sale, the current property appraiser assessment on the home and the current market value of the home. Knowledge is Power.
With all of that information you can make a confident, informed purchase offer.
We offer all of our education, experience and hard work with no up front cost to you. We do not get paid even one cent until the day you successfully close on your new home.
5. DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS.
We work with and can recommend to you trusted professionals for your home inspection, title company, real estate attorney, appraiser, surveyor, homeowners insurance and home warranty company. We oversee all of the many details to keep things running smoothly
6. CLOSING
Prior to closing, you will want to open accounts for your electric, telephone, cable TV, etc., so they will be on for your move in day. Also fill out an address change form out at your local post office to have your mail forwarded. A walk thru inspection to make sure that everything is fine, prior to closing, is advised. Then bring your cashiers check to the closing table, sign your closing documents and get the keys to your new home. It is then, and only then, after your successful closing, when Ocala Town and Country Real Estate LLC gets paid for all of the hard work that helped to get you to this happy place.
