Purchase

Are you looking for a property in Southwest Florida? Would you like to buy a holiday villa? Maybe you are in the lucky position to emigrate to Florida for a few years or indefinitely and are looking for a new place to stay? In these and many other cases, you can count on our help!
The real estate market in Florida cannot be compared to the real estate market in Germany. All Florida real estate agents have access to all properties on the market through the Multiple Listing System (MLS). Every broker can show his customers the properties listed by other brokers. The broker’s commission – both to seller’s broker and to buyer’s broker – is usually paid in Florida by the seller! Our service for buying a house is therefore completely free of charge for you!

At the very beginning, we will request a list of your wishes and ideas for your new dream home..

  • In which area/city of Southwest Florida should the property be located?
  • What expectations do you have of the location of the house, by the water, by the canal with access to the Gulf of Mexico or a house by the freshwater canal?
  • Do you want a property in a residential complex or is the proximity to golf courses important to you?
  • o you want your new home to be close to your place of work, is proximity to schools or shopping facilities important to you?
  • Do you have a preference for the direction of your terrace, do you prefer to enjoy the sun in the morning or in the evening?
  • What size should the house be, how many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want?
  • In which price range are you searching? Is financing required? Please be aware of the additional purchase costs such as transfer costs, possible relocation, renovation costs, etc.

Once all points are clarified, we will look for suitable objects for you, which we will then visit together. Here you can get a feeling for the properties on the market and whether your wishes and ideas correspond to the property you find. We will also create a link in the MLS database based on your criteria. You will receive a daily e-mail with new property offers that match your search criteria. You can look through the property descriptions without obligation and, if you are interested, you can have a look at the corresponding houses.
Once you have found a property that you would like to purchase, we prepare an offer for the seller. This takes place within the framework of a purchase contract, including all relevant things such as purchase price, amount of deposit, the period during which you maintain the offer and more. The down payment is usually not very high, but it shows the seller that it is a serious offer and it is absolutely normal to send it along with the offer. The offer also indicates whether you intend to finance the purchase of the property or whether you wish to purchase the property in cash. Cash, in this case, does not mean cash, but that you want to purchase the property with your own available funds.
If your offer is accepted by the seller on your terms, the purchase contract is considered concluded. The seller sometimes submits a counteroffer, usually if he does not agree with the purchase price offered. Now it is up to you to accept or reject this counteroffer. Your original offer has expired with the counteroffer. In the event of an agreement, the further procedure is transferred to the title company, which is chosen by the seller in Lee County and by the buyer in Collier County. In principle: Whoever pays the title policy may choose the title company. The title company handles the land register investigation. This includes checking whether there are any encumbrances on the property, whether the seller is actually the rightful owner or whether the property is subject to easements or other usufruct rights. The buyer then takes care of an independent inspection of the property. If financing is required, an appraisal (value appraisal) is usually requested by the financing provider. This is an independent inspection of your house by a certified appraiser to determine the value of the house. As your real estate agent, we are here to help and support you at every step.
The so-called closing is the day on which the contract is signed, and the property handed over, comparable to the German notary appointment. The buyer and seller do not necessarily have to be present on this date. When selling, it is important that the seller’s signature is notarized. Nowadays it is also possible to receive and sign the contract documents by email or courier service. Unlike in Germany, however, all rights and obligations are already transferred from the seller to the buyer at the closing. The payment of the purchase price and all other payments, such as the redemption of a loan, also take place at this time.
If you rent the acquired real estate as a holiday home, we assist you also with our German property management Home 24/7. With our all-round service from a single source, we not only offer pure property management, but also an in-house handyman and pool service. On request, we also manage the rental of the holiday villa. Bookkeeping and tax services round off our service offer around the holiday real estate.
