Insurance

A CLEAR PATH FORWARD
Your buying process
Know what comes next and leave room to ask questions along the way.
Define your priorities and budget
Talk through your timing, preferred areas, and must-haves. If financing, connect with a lender for preapproval and understand your estimated payment, closing costs, and cash needs.
Explore homes and communities
Compare homes against your priorities and total ownership costs. Look beyond the listing to location, condition, and everyday practicality.
Make an offer and investigate
Review comparable sales and offer terms with Niko. Once under contract, track deadlines, arrange inspections, review disclosures and association documents, and work with your lender and insurance professionals.
Prepare for closing
Coordinate final financing, title work, insurance, and your walkthrough. Review closing documents and confirm wiring instructions directly with your closing professional using a trusted phone number.
LOOK BEYOND THE ASKING PRICE
Buying in Florida
These property-specific questions can affect your costs and decisions. Review them early with the right professionals.
Flood risk
Review flood zones, elevation information, and property history. Flood insurance is generally separate from homeowners coverage; ask your lender and insurance professional what is required and appropriate for the property.
Property taxes
The current owner’s tax bill may not reflect your future bill. Review potential reassessment after purchase and homestead eligibility with the county property appraiser before setting your budget.
HOA communities
Review association fees, rules, approval requirements, and any planned assessments. Check restrictions that matter to you, including pets, parking, rentals, and exterior changes.
Condominiums
Review the budget, reserves, insurance, meeting records, and assessments. Ask about applicable milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies, and discuss financing and document review with qualified professionals.
