[00:00] I like to come in as soon as possible, right? Because we want them not to make mistakes and and so it's a lot easier to bring us in and take a look at the property, talk to them. Like, don't force, hey, I got a fourbedroom, I want to make a five bedroom. Don't force an existing house. And that that's a big

[00:16] mistake we see people make. So, don't convert your existing house. I'm going to say, hey, look, you're going to be making what you made before or less, right? So, um >> bring us in early. if you're looking to purchase ESA house, you know, um contact you and uh bring us in as soon as

[00:30] possible, you know, um and and that way we can work with the GC's and we can >> we can be there from A to Z, you know, right? You can, like I said, you can already have your house purchased and renovate. We'll come in at any step along the way, but again, bringing us in sooner definitely is the way

Questions this video helps answer

How do I buy and sell at the same time?

It is a juggling act, but it is doable with the right plan. The key is timing your sale and purchase so you are not stuck paying two mortgages or left without a place to live.

Sometimes that means listing your current home first with a flexible closing date. Other times it means making the purchase contingent on selling your current home. There are also options like rent-backs, short-term rentals, or using equity to bridge the gap. I walk clients through each scenario and the numbers behind it.

How far in advance should I plan if I am relocating to Tampa Bay?

Ideally, start planning three to six months in advance. That gives you time to research neighborhoods, get pre-approved for financing, schedule home tours, and arrange moving logistics.

If you are selling a home in another state, I can coordinate with your local agent so the timing is more controlled and you are not stuck in limbo between closings.

How long does it usually take to close in Tampa Bay?

Most closings in the Tampa Bay area take 30 to 45 days from contract to keys in hand. Cash deals can close in under two weeks, while VA, FHA, and conventional loans often take closer to 45 days.

The biggest factors affecting the timeline are financing, inspections, repairs when necessary, and appraisal. I help keep the process moving by coordinating directly with lenders, inspectors, and title companies.
