Extensive knowledge of strengths as well as weaknesses will help direct you to hurricane hardened homes while keeping you informed of updated piping, wiring, roofing, and HVAC requirements for lenders and insurers. Features and requirements for lenders and insurers will all be helpful in your quest for your home whether for investment or to live in. The expenses needed to upgrade, maintain, and insure the home are all important and becoming increasingly more important for home owners in South Florida in particular due to wind storm insurance affordability being essential. As a homeowner in Florida since 1999 and having lived from Pembroke Pines to the beach and up to Stuart I have the knowledge and experience to make your dream a reality.
