I’ve worked with unmarried couples that decided to purchase and settle before marrying; and I’ve worked with couples that will not be marrying – not in the State of Florida, anyway.  The Miami Herald published a great article last week on this topic. If you are thinking about buying a home with […]

‘It Takes a Village’ to Successfully Buy or Sell a Home
