First Time Homebuyers | Tips for a Better Transaction
Buying a home for the first time can be exciting, intimidating, and mystifying. It’s uncharted territory, but you don’t have to venture into it blind. From building credit to shopping for the right mortgage for you, finding the right agent could be a huge benefit to the sometimes convoluted process of buying your first home.
For Sale By Owner | Why Summer is Not the Season
Selling your home without the help of a REALTOR® is usually a gamble at best—while a handful of people may net a nice profit selling on their own, FSBO more commonly results in endless days on the market, no appreciable extra profit, and a REALTOR® eventually being brought in to sell the property anyway. But trying FSBO during the summer can be an even worse experience than usual.
Find out why summer could spell out more problems.
Featured Property | Under the Oaks Farm
?11455 N Magnolia Avenue Ocala, Florida 34475
$799,000 • • • MLS #520894
?You’ll love this idyllic 18+ acre property with a newly remodeled 3/2.5 farmhouse. Includes 2 barns totaling 10 stalls, and a luxury barn apartment nestled in an equestrian neighborhood with miles of hacking and proximity to world-class trainers and equine venues. Huge oaks sweep over the private drive as you enter, but those are nothing compared to the 150 yr old giants that throw their dappled shade over the barn courtyard and farmhouse. A wraparound screened porch, hidden rooftop deck and arbor-covered patio all beckon you to enjoy Ocala’s jaw-dropping sunrises and sunsets. Recent renovations incorporate a newly-opened floor plan, granite counters, SS appliances, oil-rubbed hardwoods, travertine master bath and other upgrades. Everything is ready and waiting for you and your horses to move in!
