Testimonials
"As a first time home buyer and relocating from Atlanta it was important to find a Realtor that would go the extra mile. Heather Joubran proved to be this agent. I greatly enjoyed working with Heather she had endless energy and personality and was always available to answer all my questions. Heathers greatest strengths are her knowledge of the Central Flordia area and the resale and new construction home market. Heather was there to do all the legwork for me and educated me every step of the way. I look forward to working with her again."

"My wife and I relocated to Florida from Wisconsin in mid-February of this year for employment opportunities and this was a major decision for us. We were first contacted by Heather in early January to offer her assistance in finding a home in our relocation. Heather was very friendly and went out of her way through emails and phone calls to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I were both working fulltime and it was difficult to get in touch during work hours. Heather made it a point to be available outside of normal business hours to assist us. She worked diligently with us to get a thorough understanding of what type of home we wanted, what location would work best for us, and what we could afford. She found many properties for us to look at and sent us information through email. She worked with us to narrow down the properties we were interested in and made arrangements to visit prior to our house hunting trip. Heather picked us up at the hotel we were staying at in Orlando and was prepared with a packet of information of all the properties we were going to visit that day. That day she took us around to all the properties and gave us a great feeling for the different towns and what they had to offer, knowledgeable on what there is to din in the area and was willing to share that with us. After a few days we found the property we loved, she took us to lunch and we wrote the contract. Upon returning to Wisconsin, Heather was in constant contact with us to answer any questions we had. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Heather for all the work she did to help us find our home, which is a very important part of moving to a new place. She helped take away some of the stresses making such a big move. She was excellent to work with and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will definitely recommend her to family and/or friends that may be looking to buy/sell properties in the future."

"Put forth courteous & professional assistance as well as long hours to accommodate our relocation. I would recommend Heather because of her devotion and helpfulness."

""All things considered I feel it was one of the more positive buying experiences I have ever had. I am very busy and travel a great deal with work - that coupled with selling a home in Ohio and buying a home in Florida, one can imagine my life was pretty stressful. Heather understood my situation and did everything she could on the buying end to make my life a little easier.She treated me as a friend, and I really felt she was looking out for my interests as a friend and not as a business relationship.""

""Heather was amazing. She was so kind and helpful as well as knowledgeable about the areas in Orlando that I was looking at. I enjoyed how friendly she was as well as honest with me about the areas and homes i was looking into.""

""Heather was the best agent my husband and I could have hoped for. We didn't know anything about the house buying process, and she guided us along the way. Very professional, she was always quick to answer any questions. If she didn't know the answer, she would find out. She made what could have been a very stressful process into a quick painless and above all brief transition. Thanks you so much from the both of us.""
Eric & Lynne H. Oviedo, FL Sun Jul 20
""She taught me everything I know about home buying. When I came in to this process I had no idea what I was doing, now I feel confident I could do it all again with minimal guidance. She fielded an inordinate number of calls from me and never got annoyed. Your depth of knowledge is amazing. I can't remember one time when I asked a question and you did not have the answer for me. I could not have asked for a better agent.""

I believe what they are talking about for change in martial status is a divorce or separation. Is the first time home buyer program down payment assistance funds? You can sell the property and simply repay the funds that were borrowed, otherwise if you cannot afford to sell the home you really need to speak with the lender to try to work something out. If the intent is to come back after school they might be able to do something. - Fri Oct 31 2008, 06:36

Heather Joubran answered:
The one thing people are forgetting to mention is the length of time someone has owned the home. If you have had someone in the home for 10 or 20 years their taxes will be much lower then someone who bought a home at the height of the market. A)When they bought their home it was much less so the assessed value is lower, plus their is a 3% cap on how much your taxes can go up every year which is probably the biggest reason for the difference. Then factor in different exemptions. - Thu Sep 4 2008, 06:33

5% down payment on a 400k mortgage in FL. Is it possible?

Heather Joubran answered:
I also have another way around this Nehemiah is not just for first time home buyers so you can get the additional 5% down from the seller combined with your 5% will give you the 10% needed. However you only have about a week or 2 left to use this program if you are interested in learning more, please feel free to give me a call. It's just another way to handle the situation. I used this method with builders on new home construction in the past.

Hello Robert,

Not sure of where you are in your current plans since this is from a few months ago. But I live downtown in Thornton Park and are currently helping a family purchase a lot and build their dream home in Delaney Park of downtown Orlando. If Downtown Orlando is where you want to live and on a lake I can make it happen. Dont let people steer you where they want to sell you. You will never be happy even if the house is perfect.

If you are not currently working with an agent, I'd be happy to schedule some time so that we can talk over the phone or meet in person to discuss your timeline, expectations and financing abilities. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 19:37
