We have concerns about some of the information given when you are considering selling property in Florida. We have found all too often many British buyers were not given all the necessary facts when they originally bought their property in Florida and have subsequently discovered they bought in the wrong location, face to much rental competition or falling prices or been hit by falling rental demand, rising costs from property taxes, insurances, etc.

We have found that most clients like to be taken through an independent briefing to cover all the options available to them when they are planning to buy or sell property in Florida. We are regularly consulted by a number of British magazines, newspapers, TV programmes and guides on all aspects of the Florida property market. We warned our clients that we had concerns about certain areas of Florida and they should consider selling in certain circumstances last year.

There are a number of critical points it is essential to understand to obtain the best option for selling your property , many of these points are not properly explained, such as:-

Options for selling, the cost implications including the hidden ones agents often gloss over and you discover when it is too late.

How to find the true value of your house, sounds simple enough but many agents have other agendas when they give you a figure

What nearly all Brits fail to realise about Agents and Agencies that costs them thousands. This is an important area as things are not as they appear

What you need to understand about the implications of the commission system, this is an area that can save or cost you thousands. Do not expect agents to cover this crucial point.

The costly mistakes that can be made when you use the same agent you bought from to sell through. Particularly in the present market this can cost you thousands.

Selecting an agent.  You are probably 4400 miles away - you need an agent who can and will keep you regularly updated on developments, and provide you with a selling strategy geared to maximising activity by a very diverse range of Buyers Agents, this area is often subject either to misunderstanding or glossed over with hype! We can recommend appropriate agents to match your requirements.

Legal implications regarding Agents. You need to be really clear on the legal and financial implications of what exactly an agent does, how they list the property and who buys the properties. Under certain contract terms you are legally responsible for the illegal actions of your agent!!

The implications and possibilities of doing the selling yourself. Where it can work and save you thousands and where you should call in a good agent.

What are the dangers to you of the appraisal process that can be hidden until the point of no return?  Why you are rarely told about this. The implications of air conditioning you are rarely told about until it is to late, another factor than can cost thousands. Ways to remedy this.

The Most likely and costly mistakes made when buying,

Case studies.

Other options such as improving your rental performance or looking at your mortgage options.

Several recent newspaper articles have identified why it is important to be thoroughly briefed when considering a property overseas, if you lose 1% more than you need when selling a property costing $300,000 then you have lost $3,000– if you can gain an additional average week’s rental you gain $1000!

We have found that most clients like to be taken through an independent briefing to cover all the options available to them. We are regularly consulted by a number of British magazines, newspapers, TV programmes and guides on all aspects of the Florida property market.

We can provide different services depending upon your requirements,

Many buyers and sellers have found a briefing consultation has saved them considerable time and money, avoided the pitfalls and provided them with clear guidance on their options and the alternatives. I have attached as a link details of these briefing sessions. In the present market we feel it is critical to receive in-depth, impartial advice before committing to a course of action that can lead to significant losses - particularly in relation to the commission payments, determining the property price and hidden legal aspects.

Please let me know if you would like to arrange a meeting to cover the consultancy briefing detailed below.
