I am a retired/disabled woman and have a 12 year old home in Northern FL. I thought I would live the rest of my life here. Life has surprised me. My daughter and I have an accepted offer on a home (with a smaller home behind in one property). I will make the downpayment, closing and design changes. She will pay the mortgage/utilities. It works out well for both of us. It is in a neighborhood that we both love. The area is more urban in a gentrified area. My suburban home is in a desirable area. It is well-cared for with many built-in upgrades (lighting - indoor/outdoor; security system hard-wired; surround sound; gas fireplace; custom walk-in closet; gourmet kitchen; brand new HVAC, disposal, faucets & shower heads…). I keep a well-maintained home. But, there are a lot of homes on the market. And, I want to do whatever I can to get the best offer. Three random questions for the experts.
Thanks! Sorry it was so long. Any tips or guidance is really appreciated! I want to make as easy as possible for my realtor (already picked out).
Getting ready to make an offer on a home in Murray Hill on Ramona Blvd. It’s east of Cassat and close to many places we like to frequent. The home/surrounding homes are well-maintained. Obviously, it’s an old house. We are considering Southern Brothers or DMurray for a proper inspection of the home. Any advice or experience with these inspection companies? We are excited and love the vibe (as opposed to the burbs we are in). We are also nervous! Comments? Guidance??? Thanks, y’all!
