Common Questions
Buyer FAQs
Do I need to be pre-approved before I start looking at homes?
It's strongly recommended. A pre-approval clarifies your budget and makes your offer more competitive when you find the right home.
How long does it typically take to buy a home in Florida?
The home search timeline varies. After an offer is accepted, closing often takes around 30 to 60 days, depending on financing, inspections, and the terms of the contract.
What's the difference between new construction and resale homes?
New construction often offers modern layouts and builder warranties, while resale homes may offer established neighborhoods and existing features you can evaluate in person. Pricing, incentives, and negotiability vary with the property and market.
Can you help me find homes in gated or waterfront communities?
Yes, gated and waterfront communities are a regular part of the search across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade.
Does it cost anything to work with a buyer's agent?
Buyer-agent compensation is negotiable and set out in your written buyer agreement. You can request that the seller contribute, but seller payment is not guaranteed. Key will explain the services, fees, and your potential costs before you commit.
