Harbor Isles in Port Richey Florida - Real Estate

Port Richey Florida has a number of waterfront

communities and one of my top picks is Harbor Isles.  This lovely waterfront community is located on the west side of Miller's Bayou where the mouth of the Pithlachascotee River meets the Gulf of Mexico. The community of Harbor Isles is quietly tucked away at the end of Bay Blvd in Port Richey.  This quiet and friendly neighborhood is a wonderful place to call home.  One thing I love about Harbor Isles is how you can feel so detached from the rest of the city because of the beautiful views and the neighborhood serenity yet you are only minutes from shopping and dining along US 19 in Port Richey and New Port Richey.

Waterfront homes along the Gulf of Mexico are highly desired by home buyers and as a waterfront home specialist, I know what a valuable asset your Harbor Isles home is.  This of you reading this who may not know the neighborhood of Harbor Isles and if you are looking to buy a waterfront home should really take a look at this community. Homes vary in size, location and value so there may just be a home for everyone in Harbor Isles. I consider myself lucky that I get to help people sell their homes or buy their next home in the waterfront community of Harbor Isles in Port Richey.

Contact me online to request your no obligation real estate consultation so we can discuss your real estate needs and goals and how I can help you sell your home in Harbor Isles and move forward.

"Moving You Forward"

The Florida Home Buying Process for All Home Buyers

The Florida Home Buying Process can be a very easy

and enjoyable experience when you use the services of the right real estate professional.  You may be unsure about the home buying process in Florida, and I understand how confusing it may seem.  This is why I wanted to share some key points about the home buying process.

Your First Step: Getting Pre-Qualified by a Lender. It is imperative to your home buying process that you are Pre-Qualified by a lender before you start looking at homes. Your qualification will tell you how much of a mortgage you can get and home much home you can buy. Your pre-qual is important to make an offer in a timely fashion. Your pre-qualification or Pre-Approval letter MUST accompany your offer on the home.

Your Second Step: Your offer was accepted and now you must deliver your escrow, if you haven't done so already. 

Your Third Step: Mortgage application. I will send your

mortgage professional a copy of the contract. Your job is to call them and get your mortgage application going. Your contract will state that you have a certain number of days to apply for the mortgage. I will generally write 3 or 5 days depending if there is a weekend. **contracts use calendar days**

Your Fourth Step: Inspections. Your offer is accepted and the contract has been signed by all parties. Now the clock is ticking and we have a limited number of days to perform all inspections and decide based on the inspections whether or not you continue with the purchase. If you decide to not buy the home you must notify the seller in writing within your inspection period as stated in the contract.

Your Fifth Step: Insurance. In Florida you will need to purchase your first years insurance policy in full prior to closing. You can have your insurance held in escrow by your lender and pay it in your monthly payment. If you do this, you still need to pay for your first year of insurance up front and prior to closing. **cash buyers need not do this**

Your Sixth Step: Wire Transfer to the Attorney or Title

Company conducting the closing. One to two days before closing you can wire your funds to close to the Title company. Your closing funds must be received by the closing agent in order to close on your home purchase.

Your Seventh Step: Walk Through. You have the ability to conduct a final walk through the day before or the day of your closing. The purpose of the walk through is to verify that any repairs were completed and that the home is empty. If you requested repairs, do your walk through the day before closing to give you time to have them repaired in case they weren't. 

Your Eighth Step: Closing. Your closing funds are already

sent. Your walk through is completed and you are ready to get the keys to your new home. If you are present at the closing, you get your keys that day. When we meet at closing you will need to have your drivers license with you. The title agent will sit us down, take your license and go make copies. Then we sign a lot of paper work for your mortgage lender and the title agent will take those pages and send them off to the lender for approval. When they return we continue signing a lot of other paperwork for the deed and disclosures. Generally, when we are done with the second round of paperwork the mortgage company approved the package that was sent and we are good to go and congratulations are in order and you receive the keys to the home you just purchased.
