A past client raved, ‘Josh Garfield made the whole process simple and completely put me at ease. His honesty and the breakdown of the steps involved in home buying were appreciated from the start.’

If you are thinking about Buying a Home:

  • Schedule a Buyer Consultation Appointment with Josh Garfield to discuss your needs, wants and timing.
  • Josh Garfield will help familiarize you with the mortgage process and help you obtain a Mortgage Pre-Approval.
  • Loan pre-approval is based on documented and verified information regarding your employment, income, liabilities, assets and the cash available to close on the purchase of a home. Pre-approval also offers you these benefits:
  • Sellers will view you as a stronger, more viable buyer because the financing of your purchase has been verified.
  • You will have a good understanding of your monthly payment and expenses which will help in guiding you toward informed financial decisions.
  • There are many lending institutions that can arrange financing to suit your individual needs. Please ask us about our recommended local lenders so that you can compare rates and loan programs best suited for you.

After your Buyer Consultation Appointment and Mortgage Pre-Approval :

  • We will work closely with you in regard to scheduling showings, gathering information and providing insight into specific properties of interest.
  • We will guide you through the offer process and will negotiate to get you the best deal and best possible terms.
  • We will arrange a home and termite inspection for you, where the top area inspectors will provide you with written reports with detailed information in regard to the home and outline needed repairs.
  • We coordinate any needed repairs and ensure that work is being completed by appropriately licensed professionals.
  • We will work closely with your lender to make sure that your financing is finalized and that your appraisal and survey are complete. We also will guide you through the process of obtaining homeowner’s insurance.
  • A final walk thru inspection is arranged, ensuring any needed repairs have been completed, home has been swept clean and closing date is confirmed.
  • We schedule closing of the home where home ownership of the property officially changes hands.
  • From the start of your home search to closing and beyond, Josh Garfield Group will handle every detail of your transaction. Our highest priority is your complete satisfaction…we truly look forward to exceeding your expectations

Anne made our home buying experience here in Florida smooth and seamless! We were very specific with our wants and needs and she graciously showed us multiple houses that fir our criteria. I recommend having her as your agent HANDS DOWN!

Kari Clagett

We just closed on our home and wanted to share how happy we were with our Realtor, Josh Garfield. This was our 4th time using him and he never ceases to amaze me with his excellent customer service, follow through skills and genuine care and understanding. He exceeds expectations every time!

Shannon and Ben Drawbaugh

Josh is by far the best agent we’ve ever worked with. His level of communication and intelligence is impeccable. He is never pushy and always asks questions which force you to think, without offering his own opinion unless you ask for it. In addition, he’s always one step ahead of you from a process and logistics standpoint. As long as we live in Tampa, we will never use another agent.

Stop your search, Anne Bloomquist is the realtor for you! She is knowledgeable, professional, prepared, and dependable. On our first meeting she presented a competitive listing price based on the recent sales and current listings in the immediate area and laid out a realistic plan that encompassed photo shoot, active listing, as well as open house. My home was under contract 6 days after listing. She again provided her expertise, diligence, and patience with my search for a new home purchase. She paid great attention to my needs/wants as well as my budget during my search.

Vicki Benton

Josh Garfied was a consummate pro from day 1 until our double closing (buy and sell). He helped along the way, and actually had a cash offer at listing price on our house via networking prior to our house going on the open market. He made the process so easy and smooth that there was very little intervention needed on our side. I would highly recommend Josh Garfield to anyone looking for a South Tampa realtor.
