What AS-IS means
This home is sold exactly as it stands today. The seller will not make repairs or give credits for repairs. You can still do your own inspection, so you know what you are buying before you decide. Cash buyers and investors often like this kind of sale because it can close fast, with fewer steps. Bring your builder, your inspector, and your vision.
What FIRPTA means
FIRPTA is a federal tax rule for when a foreign owner sells U.S. property. The buyer, through the closing agent, holds back part of the sale price and sends it to the IRS. This is a tax prepayment. The seller gets back any amount over their actual tax when they file a U.S. tax return. If the seller is a U.S. person, none of this applies. Ask your tax advisor and your title company how it works for your sale.

Success Stories
“Awesome service with relentless follow through. Great agent for our commercial condo we purchased. Worked with all parties involved to expedite all aspects of the deal and made sure all things were professionally taken care. You won’t find a harder working agent for your real estate needs.”
“My search for a real estate agent was very challenging as I was not local to Florida. I lived in the Northeast with absolutely no connections to agents through family or friends in the area where my property was located. The web became my only resource. I searched and searched until I found the profile of a Sarasota real estate agent whose credentials were impeccable.”
“Got us a great deal on our last purchase and helped us with our lending needs!”
