Florida Real Estate stretches from a panhandle in the northwest, and extends south and east along the Gulf of Mexico into the Caribbean as a large peninsula with the Atlantic Ocean as its eastern border and the Gulf of Mexico as its western border. It is bordered on the north by Georgia and both on the north and west by Alabama. Florida cities are popular cruise ship points of departure due to their proximity to the countries of the Caribbean, particularly the Bahamas.

Florida Real Estate economy is heavily based on tourism. Warm weather most of the year and hundreds of miles of beach provide a thriving vacation industry for travelers from around the world. Toward the center of the state, the Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort drive the economy. The amount of sales tax revenue from tourism allows the state to be one of the few to not impose a personal income tax.

Florida Real Estate: Finding a great real estate agent or broker is essential to your real estate transaction. The best agent for you doesn't necessarily work at the largest brokerage. And often, the top agents in an area will do 90% of the business, while a the remaining ten percent is scattered amont hundreds of agents competing for the same listings.

Finding a Real Estate Agent Through Referrals

Most successful agents are successful because their satisfied clients refer them to friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and associates. Ask friends and family who they used for their last real estate purchase and if they describe a positive buying experience, and an agent who put the needs of their client ahead of their own, you may have a good fit. Try to find an agent who goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Attend Local Open Houses

When you visit open houses , you can meet real estate agents in a non-threatening working environment and interact with them. Collect business cards and make notes on them. If you're thinking about selling your home, pay attention to how the agent is showing the home.
