Buying a house in Parkland FL

Looking for a new house in Broward County?

Everyone dreams of owning their own home. When buying your first home, it can be a very exciting, yet anxiety filled experience. However, if you know what to expect during the home buying process you will be more relaxed and comfortable during this lengthy process knowing that we will be by you every step of the way guiding you through it and looking out for your best interests. Below are some of the things we will be helping you with along the way!

Setting a Budget

Before the house hunting process begins, it is important to know how much you can afford. Expenses to consider include the down payment, monthly expenses, property taxes and any home insurance costs. These will all have to be considered before the home buying process begins as they are typically included in your new monthly payment. Since a person’s credit score determines their interest rate, knowing your score ahead of time can help you decide if now is a good time to buy or not. An individual’s debt-to-income ratio must also fall within acceptable limits of the home’s cost. Once you have determined these things, and if you feel that your budget has enough room to afford a new home, then its time to begin the home buying process!

Getting Pre-Approved

When looking for a loan, be sure to get more than one loan quote to get the best interest rate and loan terms for your mortgage. Different banks and companies will offer different loan origination fees and by shopping around you can often times save yourself a lot of money. Be sure to also check your loan officers website for testimonials and information. A good loan officer will offer you many online resources and tools. Before you lock in your rate, be sure to check the daily rate with the rate your loan officer gives you to ensure you are getting the lowest rate possible. Interest rates will determine how much a mortgage will cost each month and come in fixed or adjustable terms. Mortgage lengths can range from 15 years to 30 years with some loan providers now offering 40 year mortgages as well. The longer the repayment term, the lower the payments will be. However, the interest accrued will also be higher on a longer loan.

Finding a Home

Once you have been pre-approved for a mortgage and you know what amount your bank has approved you for, it’s time to find your dream home! First, start by trying one of our easy home searches above. You can use the Easy search to search with the simplest options and get a wide range of homes. Or try the Advanced search to choose more specific options to drill down a more specific set of results. The Map search offers a unique perspective by allowing you to use the polygon tool on the side boundaries on a map around the areas you want to live in. Already know the address of the property you want? Try the Address Search. OR if you have a listing ID you can use the Listing Search to search by MLS#. Find home you like? Simply click not he Schedule a showing button and send me an alert. I will schedule the time and confirm with you once it is set up! Once you have started searching be sure to create a free Property Saver account so you can save your Search criteria and get Listing Alerts sent directly to you so you do not miss out on the hottest buys. You can also save your favorite homes to come back and view later. The Property Saver account has a ton of great tools designed to cater directly to you and provide you with a home buying experience.

Making an Offer

There is an art to making an offer on a home. Typically, sellers place their home’s value a little higher than their desired price. A buyer will send in a lower bid, in a reasonable range, and the seller will counter with an offer somewhere in the middle. Appliances might also be negotiable if you are willing to up your offer a bit. Your Realtor will be watching for signs of problems in the home and will make suggestions to you regarding the offer. Listen to them closely as this is their business and they do it every day. The average buyer only buys a home once every 7 years or so. An experienced Realtor will be able to help you negotiate a lower price that sometimes includes concessions or closing costs. Their job is to protect you in the contract.

Home Inspections

Getting a home inspection is a vital part of the home buying process. These inspections ensure that the home’s foundation, ceiling, heating, electrical system, walls, plumbing and entryways are up to certain standards. Sometimes the bank will require a home inspection however; many times they leave it to the buyer to purchase their own. It is extremely important to protect yourself by getting a home inspection right away. You typically have 10 days from an accepted offer to get the home inspected. Many buyers have been saved from disaster by taking the time to spend the extra $200 – $400 to get a home inspection only to find out the house has major problems allowing them to back out of the contract before it is too late.

Home Insurance

Lenders normally require that you insure your home. Home Insurance Policies cover the costs to fix any damages that might occur to the home. The price of this insurance is dependent on a home’s age, location and value and the insurance company you choose. Be sure to call around and get several quotes. Agents will oftentimes be able to take your information over the phone and get back to you the same day with a quote. Once you choose a company to insure your new home, the cost of that policy is normally added into your closing costs and sent into an escrow account to be paid to the insurance company directly the first year.

Escrow and Closing Costs

Before the home is legally transferred to you, the closing process must occur. During this phase, you will sign all of the mortgage documents, pay closing costs, and sign various other legal documents. Once all of the papers are signed, the keys to your new home are yours! The only thing left to do is move into your humble abode. This may occur immediately after the closing or at the date set in the closing documents.

Jon was very knowledgeable about the area

Jon was very knowledgeable about the area. He was able to show us which areas we would want to be in, and which areas to steer clear of. Jon set up listing alerts for us, so that whenever a new listing showed up in the area we wanted, and in the price range we were looking for, it would email us the listing automatically, so that we were always among the first to see a new listing. When we finally saw the house we ended up buying, Jon’s knowledge about the process and negotiation skills helped us get the house we wanted and at a price that didn't break our bank. I would definitely recommend Jon to other buyers/sellers.

Sure glad we went with Jon Klein

Sure glad we went with 'Jon Klein'
Jon knows his stuff! What seems to put him above the rest is that not only does he know Parkland and other surrounding areas like the back of his hand, but he knows who else to recommend to help you out through personal recommendations from his network of experts (real estate attorney, movers, etc.). No, there's no kickbacks involved, he just knows where to find good people to assist you in the buying and moving process. He'™ll help you sell current home and find a great new home like he did for my family. We are SO happy with our new home in Parkland! THANKS JON!! See you around town I hope!!

I am truly touched that you donated the books which correspond to our writing program

I am truly touched that you donated the books which correspond to our writing program. Our first grade students, current and future, will benefit greatly from your generosity. These books will allow the students to view the world through the eyes of an author and utilize the various genres and styles into their own writing. These books will give them an opportunity to read about experiences that they may not otherwise be able to experience due to their socioeconomic status.
The materials you provided will expose our first grade students to different genres of literature, styles of writing, and an abundant amount of colorful and vibrant illustrations. The students will not only use the skills learned from the books in first grade, but throughout their school years and into college as young adults. We are so excited to dive into these wonderful books!

With gratitude, Mrs. P. Parkland April 23, 2018

I met Jon at the house within hours and purchased our dream house from Jon that day

Jon was able to have the home we purchased from him e-mailed to my computer THE DAY IT WENT ON THE MARKET! I met Jon at the house within hours and purchased our dream house from Jon that day. Had he not gotten the listing to me that fast we for sure would have lost our dream house. Jon is our local realtor guy in town and you literally can'™t go to any bagel joint in South Florida without seeing his picture somewhere on the screens!

Jon’s top skill is really figuring out what his clients want

Jon is a breath of fresh air in a crowded real estate industry full of agents that have little idea about what they are doing and generally a waste of time. Jon is a true professional all the way through and his experience comes out in every phase of the transaction from showing properties, handling offers, negotiation and the process to closing. Jon's top skill is really figuring out what his clients want and not pushing properties that don't meet the client criteria. He also has excellent people skills that he leverages not only in client interactions but also when dealing with agents/owners on the other side. Jon also has excellent knowledge of the areas/neighborhoods he works in which is tremendously valuable for a buyer that is not familiar with the area. If you want only the best representing you then Jon would be an excellent choice!

I don’t recommend many people, Jon is one I would be willing to stand behind

In an industry that is littered with below average realtors, Jon is a true professional in every sense!. I found Jon to be very patient and professional in his dealings, he never pushed to make the deal, just stated the facts. He is an expert in the North Broward area, knowledge that comes in very handy during the buying the process. Jon also has great people skills, which he leverages effectively for his clients. I don't recommend many people, Jon is one I would be willing to stand behind.

I would refer her always to family and friends

Shana is an AMAZING Realtor. I relocated to Florida for a job and I had experiences with 2 Realtors. A coworker referred Shana to me. She quickly understood what type of house I was looking for to accommodate my elderly mother and my family. She embrassed every moment with me by listening, knowledge and expertise. She is number one in my book. I would refer her always to family and friends.
