    June 18, 2021 /

    The process of getting a mortgage can be a complex and confusing one, and all the myths around mortgages certainly don’t make the process any easier. So, the question is, what are some of the most common mortgage myths? A recent article from realtor.com busted some of the most persistent myths around mortgages and the homebuying process, including: The lowest rate is always the best choice. Many buyers think that the mortgage with the lowest rate is automatically the best option.  But that’s not always true; for example, if a loan has high origination fees or early payoff penalties, it might not be as solid of an option as a mortgage with a slightly higher…

    Negotiating Repairs on AS-IS Contract

    August 4, 2020 /

    You found your perfect home, you performed inspections and now you want the seller to make some repairs even though you are under an As-Is contract. The key thing to remember is that the seller is not obligated to do any repairs or even respond to your request for repairs. In Florida, the As-Is contract is one of the most popular real estate contracts, however, its important that a buyers agent fully understand how to work with this type of contract to facilitate a smooth transaction.
