Most agents sell you a kitchen. We work with an affiliated, separately licensed Academia construction company that can tell you what the roof, the wind rating, and the condo reserves are likely to cost you to address. Start with the market, then talk to a broker.

Four steps — and the Florida details nobody warns you about.
Insurance, wind mitigation, condo reserves, flood zones. The fundamentals are the same everywhere; the way they bite is uniquely South Florida. Here's the path, with the potholes marked.
Get pre-approved — and pick a strategy
FHA, conventional, or VA. In South Florida a 2–4 unit with FHA means you can house-hack: live in one unit, let tenants cover much of the note. We map the financing to the move before you tour a single home.
First-time buyer roadmapTour with an eye on insurability
Roof age, the 4-point inspection, wind mitigation, flood zone, and condo reserve health decide your premium — sometimes whether you can insure at all. We flag the cost-to-cure on every showing.
Home Performance: insurance & FL weatherOffer, inspect, negotiate the repairs
Because we also build, our inspection read comes with real numbers. A failing roof isn't a dealbreaker — it's a credit. We turn defects into leverage instead of cold feet.
What lifts value before you own itClose — then make it yours
Keys in hand, the same company that sold you the home can re-roof, re-pipe, or renovate it. One relationship from offer through improvement, with your equity in mind.

One relationship — from the offer to the keys to the renovation.

Why buy with a brokerage that works alongside a builder?
You see a home not just as it is, but as it could be — with a grounded read from our affiliated construction company on what it will cost to improve and on insurability considerations, before you commit. The carrier determines final eligibility, credits, and premium.
¿Puede decirme cuánto costará reparar o asegurar una vivienda antes de hacer una oferta?
We can give you a grounded cost-to-cure estimate from our affiliated construction company and a wind-mitigation condition read, so your offer reflects real numbers rather than a guess — insurability, credits, and final premium are always determined by the carrier.
