Testimonials

Bob and I would like to thank you for all your help in finding our beautiful condo in the Meadows at Martin Downs in Palm City,  FL.  We can’t express enough how much we appreciated your time and guidance in finding our condo.  We had been to Florida at least three times in the past looking to buy a condo with absolutely no luck, but it definitely was our lucky day when we found you on your web site.

Getting A Mortgage Loan

image Once you have determined the right property for you, the process of obtaining financing begins.  Getting a mortgage pre approval is an important first step in this process.  A pre approval tells you how much cash the bank is willing to loan you.  A pre approval will alert you to any credit issues that may effect your getting a loan and help to avoid looking at properties that you may not be able to afford.  As important, a pre approval tell the seller you are a strong buyer- in fact many sellers now require a pre approval with your offer.
