A:
Well, it depends on what part of Florida. If you want to be in the ?action? such as South Beach (sobe) or anywhere in South Florida, check out Florida Capital Realty. they list bargain basement bank repos (REOs) and can help you find a great deal.
Aram Shah is a Realtor? with Florida Capital Realty in Doral, FL.
A: I would suggest you try to find an exclusive buyers agent. They act in your interest and try to find the right home for YOU. Since they never take listings, they focus only on buyer?s issues. Figuring out where to live is one of the biggest buyer issues. Most folks decide based on location of employment, proximity to family, love of natural elements such as the shore or a lake and rural vs. urban preferences.

A: If you decide you would like to live in Orlando, I would love to help you personally. Until you decide, here are some things to consider. Florida is a pretty big state, and quite diverse in may ways. There are four major cities: Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. Miami and Jacksonville are both on the Atlantic, Tampa is on the Gulf of Mexico, and Orlando sits in the middle of the state. I think you will find South Florida to run at a slightly faster pace with the exception of the Keys. Also to the South you will find more marshes, swamps and prairie type landscapes. To the North there are a lot more forests, and a somewhat hilly terrain. Orlando is pretty much in the middle of everything, and offers easy access to either coast. I think you will also find that Orlando has quite a vibrant economy with plenty of growth in high tech, and medical fields. The Burnham Institute for Biomedical Research in San Diego chose Orlando as the location for their East coast facility. We have one of the top international airports in the world, the second largest university in the country, UCF, and of course all the attractions and resorts for which we are so famous.
David Welch is a Realtor? with RE/MAX 200 Realty in Winter Park, FL.
A: It sounds like you are starting the process broadly until you define where you want to live. You can do a lot of research on line to check out communities that offer what you are looking for. Google is the perfect search engine for this. Regarding homes, use realtor.com to look into values and areas.Once you have an idea of where you would like to buy a house its always a good idea to get a referral for a Realtor. If you know of someone in that area ask their advice. If you don?t have any connections searching for a Realtor through Council or Residential Specialist is a good idea as these agents tend to have more experience and education http://crs.com/. Only 4% of Realtors hold this designation. Good luck!
Joan Rogliano is a Realtor? with Rogliano Real Estate Group in Littleton,CO.
A: Do as much research on Florida agents as you can. You?ll soon connect with a couple that you can contact and decide whether or not they have the knowledge to guide you through this long distance purchase.
Maria Jeantet is a Realtor? with Coldwell Banker C & C Properties in Redding, CA
A: No Realtor can tell you what city to call home because of federal law restrictions to do so. Do an Internet search and review demographic information about cities you are contemplating to help you make a decision. Google Maps street view also helps in viewing what a neighborhood looks like too.
