FSBO rules in Florida

What Crestview FSBO sellers should know.

Required disclosures

Florida requires a written seller property disclosure for most residential sales. Federal lead-paint disclosure applies to any home built before 1978. You handle disclosures directly with your closing professional, Home Posted just provides the marketing space.

Who closes the deal

Either a title company or an attorney can close in Florida. Documentary stamp tax applies on every deed, budget for it in your net.

Who's buying in Crestview

Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami have the deepest cash-buyer pools in the country, so competition for your home is intense. Condo and insurance issues that kill MLS deals don't usually scare off our independent buyers.
