Tips: Association fees may impact monthly costs — factor them into your budget.

Rent vs. Buy

Average rents: $1,300–$1,800/month for 1–2 bedrooms

Buying may cost $500+ more per month, depending on HOA fees and mortgage rates.

Buying builds equity and gives you long-term stability, while renting can be flexible but doesn’t grow your wealth.

Convenient shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities

Quick access to I-75 for Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and the surrounding areas

First-Time Buyer Tips

Get pre-approved for a mortgage before looking at homes.

Work with a local Realtor — someone who knows the neighborhoods and market trends.

Next Steps

Have questions? I’m happy to chat and share insights about homes, neighborhoods, and what to expect in the market — no strings attached.

Curious about homes in person? Visiting open houses is a great way to explore and see what’s available.

Want to do some research first? Online tools and market reports can help you get a sense of prices, trends, and neighborhoods.

As your Realtor, I focus on giving each client my full attention, guiding you through every step — whether buying your first home or upgrading to your next one.

Step 1: Choose the Right Real Estate Agent

Find an agent who understands your goals, communicates clearly, and makes you feel confident throughout the process.

Ask questions about how they handle marketing, showings, and negotiations to ensure their approach aligns with what you want.

A good agent will guide you through pricing, preparation, and every step of selling your home, tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Determine the Right Price

Pricing your home accurately is critical to attracting buyers.

Overpricing can lead to extended market time; underpricing may leave money on the table.

Your agent will analyze recent sales and current listings to recommend the best price.

Step 3: Prepare Your Home for Sale

Declutter and depersonalize to make your home appealing to a wide audience.

Make minor repairs and consider staging rooms to highlight your home’s potential.

Boost curb appeal with landscaping, fresh paint, and clean exterior surfaces.

Step 4: Professional Photography & Marketing

High-quality photos, videos, and virtual tours attract more buyers.

Your agent will list your home on MLS, real estate websites, social media, and email campaigns.

Open houses and private showings help generate interest and competitive offers.

Step 5: Showings & Open Houses

Keep your home clean, bright, and welcoming during showings.

Flexible scheduling can increase the number of potential buyers who view your property.

Your agent will coordinate appointments and provide feedback from visitors.

Step 6: Review Offers & Negotiate

Once offers come in, your agent will help you review terms, contingencies, and pricing.

Multiple offers may create competition; your agent will guide you on counteroffers and strategy.

Accept the offer that best meets your financial and timing goals.

Step 7: Home Inspections & Appraisal

Buyers often request inspections; repairs may be negotiated based on the findings.

The buyer’s lender usually requires an appraisal to confirm the home’s value.

Your agent will help navigate negotiations and ensure everything stays on track.

Step 8: Finalizing the Sale

Complete all required paperwork, disclosures, and legal documents.

Schedule the closing date, review the settlement statement, and sign the necessary documents.

Once complete, you hand over the keys, and the home officially sells!
