FAQ

  • How do I buy a home or land in N Florida?

    Start by connecting with a local agent who knows the ins and outs of both rural and coastal property. We will help you get pre-approved so you know your price range, then we’ll help you find exactly what you’re after — whether that’s a home on acreage, a lot near the water, or a house in town. The process usually takes 30–45 days once you're under contract, and we’ll walk you through every step.

  • How much is my property worth in today’s market?

    From homesteads to hunting land to beach homes, value depends on local sales, land use, condition, and current demand. We offer free property evaluations — no pressure, just honest guidance. Online estimates often miss the mark, especially for rural land or coastal homes, so a local market expert makes a big difference.
    Process:
    -Choose an agent under the property value tool on our website main page
    -We will contact you to schedule a in-person or phone meeting
    -Your agent will collect information and run all the latest data
    -You will receive a call back and an email with a full market report

  • Do I need a real estate agent to buy land, a home, or a beach property?

    You don’t have to, but it can save you time, money, and stress. We help buyers every day with well/septic inspections, zoning, flood zones, easements, and more. Whether you’re buying your dream home, fifty acres for hunting, a doublewide near the river, or a place at the coast, we’ll help you ask the right questions and avoid costly surprises. Plus, our fee is usually paid by the seller.

  • Can I buy land or coastal property with a loan, or do I need cash?

    You can finance land or coastal property, but the details vary. Raw land usually requires 15%–30% down, and not all banks finance it — we have great lenders that specialize in vacant, recreational property and new construction. Coastal properties may have additional insurance or flood zone requirements. We can also help you explore owner financing if available.

  • Do I have to pay a commission as a buyer?

    Typically, no. Buyers usually don’t pay commission — it’s covered by the seller or listing brokerage. That said, new rules now require buyers to sign a written agreement with their agent before touring property. It doesn’t cost you anything upfront — it just ensures transparency and outlines how we’ll work together.
