Three steps to buying a home
When buying a home, it’s highly recommended to work with a licensed real estate agent.
They can help you view a wider range of properties more efficiently and with greater confidence, while guiding you safely through every step of the process—from search to contract.
Please note:
In the past, buyers typically didn’t pay agent fees, but that has changed. You should now expect to pay approximately 0-3% in commission when purchasing a home.

OVIEDO,
Orlando, florida
I currently live in Oviedo, a town with a population of approximately 43,000. The surrounding area includes neighboring communities such as Orlando, Winter Park, Goldenrod, Union Park, and Chuluota.
This region is home to the University of Central Florida (UCF), one of the largest universities in the United States, with a student population of around 70,000.
As a result, the area is highly student-oriented, with a vibrant rental market and a dynamic mix of residential and commercial development.
Inquiries are welcome about any location, and we’ll tailor our response to your needs.
THE MOST
important step is finding a skilled and trustworthy agent.
I am the one.
When buying or selling a home, start by checking the prices of nearby listings and reviewing the final sale prices of recently sold properties.
One of the most important principles in home searching is this: a less impressive home in a great neighborhood is often more valuable than a beautiful home in a less desirable area.
As you probably know, location is everything when it comes to living in the U.S.!

RENTING OUT
When renting out a property, the landlord is not responsible for any upfront costs.
However, a security deposit of up to one and a half months’ rent may be collected from the tenant.
RENTAL
When searching for a rental, the tenant is responsible for the real estate agent’s fee, which is typically equivalent to one month’s rent.
Upon signing the lease, the tenant must pay:
- First month’s rent,
- A security deposit equal to one to one and a half months’ rent, paid to the landlord by check.
The security deposit is refundable at the end of the lease, provided there are no damages or outstanding payments.
