Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I schedule a viewing for a listed property?
Scheduling a viewing is simple and tailored to your convenience. You can click the “Schedule Visit” button directly on any property listing, reach out to us via our floating WhatsApp icon, or book a specific time through our interactive calendar. Our team will promptly coordinate the appointment, whether you prefer an in-person walkthrough or a live virtual tour.
2. What is an Open House in the U.S. and how does it work?
An Open House is a scheduled window of time where a property is open for prospective buyers to walk through and explore without needing a prior appointment. It is a standard and highly effective practice in the U.S. real estate market. For our international clients, our agents can attend these events on your behalf, broadcasting live to show you every detail of the property and the neighborhood in real-time.
3. Do the prices shown include closing costs?
No, the prices listed reflect the asking price of the property itself. Closing costs—which typically include title insurance, government recording fees, transfer taxes, and loan origination fees if you are financing—are separate. In Florida, buyers can generally expect closing costs to range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. Before you make an offer, our team will provide you with a fully transparent, detailed estimate of all expected closing costs.
4. What are the monthly maintenance fees (HOA) in condominiums?
HOA (Homeowners Association) fees are monthly contributions paid by residents of a condominium or gated community. These fees typically cover exterior building maintenance, master insurance, landscaping, security, water, trash removal, and the upkeep of premium amenities like pools and fitness centers. The amount varies depending on the building’s age and luxury level. We ensure that exact HOA costs are clearly disclosed upfront for every property in our inventory.
5. Can I take a guided virtual tour if I live in another country?
Absolutely. We specialize in assisting international investors who cannot travel to Florida for every viewing. We offer highly detailed, live virtual walkthroughs via Zoom, FaceTime, or WhatsApp. During these sessions, our agents act as your eyes on the ground—opening cabinets, showcasing the views, checking the surrounding noise levels, and answering your questions in real-time so you can make a confident decision from anywhere in the world.
