Real Estate Focus During Hurricane Season ?????

For those considering buying or selling property in Central Florida, it's important to understand how hurricane season impacts real estate:

1. Preparedness Matters: Homes that are well-prepared for storms—such as those with hurricane shutters, reinforced windows, and elevated features—are more appealing to buyers. If you're listing a property, ensure these features are highlighted in the description.
2. Insurance Considerations: Now is the time to review your homeowner's insurance policy. Ensure you’re adequately covered for wind damage, flooding, and other potential impacts of severe weather. Learn more at: www.myfloridacfo.com/division/consumers/storm
3. Timing Your Transactions: Expect some delays during hurricane warnings. Lenders and insurers often hold off on closing deals when a storm is imminent, as policies can be hard to bind during these times. However, properties on high ground that are less vulnerable to flooding remain in high demand.

Real Estate Tip of the Month ??

Invest in Storm-Ready Features: Whether you're looking to sell or just maintain your home, adding storm shutters, upgrading to impact-resistant windows, or ensuring proper drainage can significantly add value to your property and keep your family safe.
