Time To Go House Hunting!
Once you've secured the right agent and prepared your financials — it's time to start shopping!
Explore
If you can, take a drive around the neighborhoods and communities that interest you to get a true feel for the area. Browse listings online as well. When you find a property that speaks to you, reach out to your HARBOURDAVIS agent — we'll schedule a time to visit and walk the property together. At every step, ask us about long-term resale value. We believe informed clients make confident decisions.
Narrow Your Search
Strong outcomes start with strong partnerships. Talk with your HARBOURDAVIS agent about what matters most to you, and let's build your criteria together. How many bedrooms and baths? Do you want a yard? Is there a specific school district you have in mind? The more you share, the more precisely we can focus our search — because we listen, we adapt, and we deliver.
It's Time to Buy
This is where experience matters. Once you've found the property you want, your HARBOURDAVIS agent brings sharp negotiating skills to the offer process. We'll conduct the necessary analysis to help you build an offer that works in your favor — examining potential costs and expenses so nothing catches you off guard.
During negotiations, we'll draft your purchase agreement with precision, covering home warranty, escrow arrangements, and title. We'll walk you through every protective contingency, local regulation, and customary practice along the way. We're here to advise and inform — but the final call on terms and price is always yours. That's what being true partners means.
When you're ready to get started, call us at 813.694.8311 or complete this short form and one of our agents will be in touch.

Tips For Buying

Don’t Max Out Your Budget
Just because you're approved for a certain amount doesn't mean you should spend it all. Leave room for closing costs, taxes, and the repairs or updates every home eventually needs.
Get To Know The Area
The right home is about more than four walls — make sure the neighborhood fits your life, from schools to shopping to everything in between.
Don’t Skip The Inspection
A thorough inspection is worth every penny. It uncovers what the eye can't see, giving you clarity and confidence in your decision.

Get Pre-Approved
Pre-approval tells sellers you mean business. It shows you're a serious, ready buyer — not just browsing.
Make a List of Deal Breakers
Know what you can live with and what you cannot live without and also those things that can be taken care of with a simple remodel. If you need a 4 bedroom home, don't buy one with 2 that requires a massive addition which can break your budget.
Look At The Age Of Appliances & Other Systems
Some of the most expensive features of a home are Appliances, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Septic/Well, and Roof. You should pay attention to their age and whether they have required service. You may even be able to get the seller to add a home warranty.
Check For HOA/CDD Requirements
Many neighborhoods have HOAs or CDDs - be sure you know what the rules are for your neighborhood, and the fees associated with having an HOA or CDD. They are usually listed as annual fees.
