Let us assist you with your search. Your criteria is important. Searching for furnished investments to rent for income when you are not using it during vacations? Do you prefer Townhomes, Villas or a Condominium. Is waterfront, gulf front or lakefront in your desired criteria? If you are retired do you desire an age restricted senior 55 plus complex. Prefer the ground floor or above the 1st floor. If you have pets - how many and what do they weigh - there are restrictions on pets in most complexes. What about the location - mid Pinellas County near Clearwater Beach or south to St Petersburg and St Pete Beach or north Pinellas - Dunedin, Palm Harbor or Tarpon Springs. What about docking a boat? Do you have a boat or might buy one - we would need to know if sailboat or motor boat...and the draft and length to determine proper dock sizes, water depths and gulf access etc. Do you desire a furnished unit. Do you have children and are interested in schools in the area. What is the maximum price you would pay. All cash or pre approved for financing. Many properties are short sales and foreclosures and financial information is critical before making any offer. MLS Listing prices are only asking prices and should have room to negotiate. We run comparable sales on any property that interests in advance of making any offer. You can see that our process in searching and finding you the perfect property requires experience and patience.

We are knowledgeable about real estate flood and property insurance
- Insurance companies
began to issue refunds for applicable policyholders beginning Oct. 1,
2014, and all checks should be sent before Dec. 31, 2014. The refunds will
go to homeowners that paid higher flood insurance rates before Congress
passed the Act.
The Grimm-Cassidy Substitute Amendment to the Homeowner Flood Insurance
Affordability Act (H.R. 3370) effectively lowers many flood insurance
premium rates. It reinstates grandfathered rates, repeals the home sale/new
policy rate increase trigger, provides refunds for people who bought
pre-FIRM subsidized homes without being informed of rate increases and caps
flood insurance rate increases, among other things.
Most flood insurance rates will still increase but at a slower rate than
before. Homebuyers already benefit from the Act. Effective May 1, people who
purchased new homes after Biggert-Waters became law, or who didn't have
insurance before that date or whose insurance lapsed, were required to pay
flood insurance premiums at the rate that was charged on Oct. 1, 2013.
We can also assist you with finding the right insurance agencies to discuss your needs for a particular property for sale. Condominium Complexes are generally covered by a master insurance policy.
