You closed on your new home... Now what? 🔑🏡

Getting the keys is exciting, but there are a few things that happen AFTER closing that most buyers aren't prepared for.

And some of them could cost you money if you're not paying attention.

Here's what I always want new homeowners to know:

1️⃣ Watch out for official-looking mail: After closing, you may receive letters asking you to pay for a certified copy of your deed or other property records. Many of these documents are available directly through your county clerk's office for little or no cost. Don't assume every notice requires payment.

2️⃣ Apply for your Florida Homestead Exemption: If the property is your permanent residence and you qualify, this exemption can help reduce your property taxes. It's not automatic! Apply through your county property appraiser's office, generally by March 1, and make sure you understand the eligibility requirements.

3️⃣ Keep ALL your closing paperwork: Your Closing Disclosure, title documents, settlement statements, and other records may be important when filing taxes, refinancing, or eventually selling. Keep digital copies somewhere secure and easy to access.

4️⃣ Save receipts for major home improvements: Replacing your roof? Installing impact windows? Remodeling the kitchen? Keep those records. Qualifying capital improvements may increase your property's tax basis, potentially reducing taxable gains when you sell.

5️⃣ Don't assume your property taxes will stay the same: This is especially important in Florida! The previous owner's tax bill may reflect exemptions or assessment limitations that won't transfer to you. Your property's assessed value and escrow payment could change after the purchase.

6️⃣ Locate your home's emergency shutoffs: Know where your main water shutoff, electrical panel, and any gas shutoff are located. You'll be glad you checked before an emergency happens.

7️⃣ Change the locks and update access codes: You never know how many copies of the old keys are out there. Reprogram garage door openers, update smart locks, and change security codes for added peace of mind.

The first few weeks of homeownership aren't just about unpacking boxes. They're about getting organized, protecting your investment, and avoiding unnecessary surprises.

📌 SAVE THIS POST so you have this checklist ready when you get your keys, or share it with someone who's buying a home!

Thinking about buying or selling in Southwest Florida? I'd be happy to help you navigate the process, from your first showing to long after closing.

This October, we’re ghosting the bad advice, unrealistic expectations, and homebuying and selling habits that need to be left in the past.

Some of the biggest mistakes homebuyers make start with advice they’ve heard from friends, family, or people who haven’t bought a home in years. 👀🏡

And just because everyone says it doesn’t mean it’s the right strategy for today’s market.

Buying a home isn’t as black and white as people make it seem. Every property, seller, and situation is different- and what works for one buyer could cost another buyer a great opportunity.

Especially here in Southwest Florida, where market conditions can vary significantly from one neighborhood or community to the next.

The key? Knowing when to negotiate, when to move quickly, when to ask questions, and when to walk away.

That’s where having an experienced Realtor in your corner makes a difference.

📌 SAVE this before your next home search, and SHARE it with someone who’s thinking about buying in Southwest Florida!

The purchase price isn’t the only thing you can negotiate in an offer. 👀🏡

Some of the smaller details can make a surprisingly big difference...and they’re often the things buyers don’t think about until after the contract is signed.

Here are 5 things I’d want my buyers thinking about before submitting an offer:

1. A written list of items you actually expect to stay: Don’t assume the TV mounts, garage refrigerator, outdoor kitchen equipment, specific light fixtures, or other items automatically convey. If you want something included, make sure it’s clearly addressed in the offer.

2.Seller credits where they make sense: Instead of only negotiating purchase price, your Realtor may be able to structure an offer requesting seller concessions toward eligible closing costs, prepaid expenses, or an interest-rate buydown, subject to lender/program limits.

3. Ask for existing warranties to be transferred: Roof, HVAC, appliances, impact windows, pool equipment, generator, pest treatments- if transferable warranties exist, buyers can ask for the documentation and transfer requirements.

4. Negotiate furniture separately when it actually matters: In SWFL, furnished and turnkey properties are common. Instead of assuming “furnished” means everything you see at the showing, clearly identify what stays, what doesn’t, and how personal property is handled.

5. Ask about assessments that have been approved but aren’t due yet: Particularly with condos and HOAs. The question isn’t only “Is there an assessment today?” It’s whether one has already been approved or is under consideration and who will be responsible for it under the contract.

A good offer isn’t just about getting the price right. It’s about thinking through the details before they become surprises later.

📌Save this for when you’re ready to make an offer- and send it to someone currently house hunting in Southwest Florida. 🌴
