There's Got To Be Some Information On The Web...Right?

One of the most frustrating aspects of my Florida holiday home search was the lack of any information on the Web. At least, this is my experience - please do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

All I really wanted was some general advice about the buying process. Things like (a rough idea) of the amount of taxes and maintenance fees I'd eventually have to pay. What would happen if I made an offer - what's the next step after that? How do I hire a solicitor to represent me? How long does the whole process take?

If you Google "buying property in Florida" or similar, one of the websites that most frequently comes up is Andrew Bartlett Florida. Although he doesn't cover the southeast Florida region, I figured it wouldn't hurt to drop him an email to see if he could advise me on the general aspects of property buying in Florida.

I have no idea he could advise me or not - I never got a response! Oh well.

Strange comment as we respond to all queries and questions (within 24 hours) - indeed one of very few independent consultants covering all of Florida.However writer needs to be aware we are Consultants not sales People! Advice on buying in many parts of Florida presently would be think very carefully before doing it as suspect prices have further to fall. Andrew Bartlett
