Reservation Of A Home
Reservation deposit
You can reserve the Florida property of your choice to avoid disappointment. Normally a 'reservation deposit', ranging from $1, 000 (One thousand dollars) to $5,000 (Five thousand dollars) is required to hold a particular property and/or Lot (plot) and then a contract to purchase can be agreed. This payment will normally provide a buyer with sufficient time (normally 30 days) to either release funds for the total down payment (deposit) required on their property or to obtain a suitable mortgage offer.
- In the case of a new home, the deposit paid is normally only refundable if the purchaser is unable to qualify for the required loan. Upon loan approval a 10% deposit (less any reservation fee already paid) is normally paid and no further payments will then be required until closing (final completion)
- Once the reservation sum is paid, in the case of a new property purchase, an opportunity to discuss and choose specific upgrades, subject to individual circumstances would normally occur. This often applies to items such as carpets, kitchen furniture swimming pools etc.
- The furniture and household items for the property can also be selected and when not included within the sales price, one of our representatives will be happy to introduce you to appropriate wholesale /interior design stores who are providing the builders and property management firms within the area; This means that we can provide SUBSTANTIAL savings for all of our client buyers, when compared to the normal retail prices.
In the case of a resale home the contract would normally be drawn with additional contingency clauses, such as professional inspection reports and sometimes, although rarely these days, a property sale; All of the contingency clauses will need to be negotiated between the parties by the relevant realtors at the time of any sale agreement on the property.

The 'Florida Countryside' Service
'Florida Countryside' do not make any charges to clients wishing to purchase property in Florida using our services.
The seller of the property pays a fee to Florida Countryside via the independent title agency, should a purchase be conducted through our Florida licensed brokerage, and the sale fee is then distributed accordingly to the realtors involved in the specific transaction.

Homeowners Referral Program
We have found this referral program to be extremely popular with all Florida homeowners; for it financially rewards the participator for the minimum amount of effort.
Once you have contracted to purchase a Florida home, you are automatically eligible to participate in this program, although regretfully due to Florida State legislation this only applies to "Out of State" non-resident Florida property owners.
- A qualifying homeowner can introduce interested parties to Florida Countryside and obtain a substantial financial reward.
- The introduction MUST be registered in writing and CONFIRMED as accepted by Florida Countryside PRIOR to any contact being made by the referred party to avoid any misunderstanding.
- Simply make the introduction by registering the referred party with Florida Countryside and we will then make contact with them
In the event of the referred party subsequently purchasing a property through our Florida brokerage, subject to our terms and conditions, a substantial financial reward will be paid to the referring homeowner. With no limit being stated as to the amount of possible introductions, a qualifying homeowner can gain a substantial additional income from their successful participation!
We do of course realise that in order for any owner to make an introduction to us they first MUST be satisfied that they are recommending a firm of integrity, that's why this referral program was initially implemented for Florida Countryside homeowners, who had experienced our services firsthand.
We have, however, already been experiencing many introductions from NON Florida Countryside homeowners who have contacted us, often seeking advice about their property management firm. As such we now offer this program to ALL non-resident Florida homeowners.
