Buying a condo in Florida and need financing? Having trouble finding a lender?  Call Sharpe Mortgage today to learn about your options.  Unlike traditional home buying, purchasing a condo in Florida requires a few extra hoops and we are qualified to help you maneuver through them.  

Did you know that when you are buying a condo that the lender looks at both you the home buyer AND at the condominium association?  It’s true, and it can add time to when you’re able to close.  It can also mean different financial obligations.  Some of the factors determining the financial obligation include the current rules from the Federal Housing Administration and Fannie Mae, the condominium’s HOA, even your future neighbors!  

The agents at Sharpe Mortgage are up-to-date on the latest rules and can guide you through the condo financing process.  We can help you get pre-qualified and help determine if your condo mortgage will qualify for a traditional, conventional, FHA, VA or even a jumbo loan.  Even if you haven’t found a condo that you want to offer a bid on yet, call us and build a relationship today so that when you are ready, you have one less worry in your home buying process.
