As a veteran or active service member, you've dedicated yourself to serving our country. Now, it's time to focus on your own American Dream of homeownership. I, Kelli Eggen, am a local REALTOR® committed to helping veterans like you navigate the Sarasota real estate market and find the perfect home for your needs.
Understanding Your VA Home Loan Benefits
Your VA home loan benefit is a powerful tool for achieving homeownership. Here's what you need to know:
-
Eligibility: If you're a veteran, active-duty service member, or surviving spouse, you may qualify for a VA loan.
-
No Down Payment: One of the biggest advantages of a VA loan is the possibility of purchasing a home with no down payment. This can make homeownership more accessible and affordable.
-
Lower Interest Rates: VA loans often come with lower interest rates than conventional mortgages, saving you money over the life of your loan.
-
No PMI: VA loans typically don't require private mortgage insurance (PMI), which can result in significant savings.

Local Expertise: As a Sarasota real estate expert, I have in-depth knowledge of the local market, including neighborhoods, schools, and amenities that may be important to you.

Important Considerations:
-
Written Buyer Agreements: Florida law requires a written buyer agreement that outlines the services I will provide and how I will be compensated. This agreement is fully negotiable, and I'm happy to discuss any questions you may have.
-
Agent Compensation: Typically, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission. However, this is negotiable and can be structured differently depending on your specific circumstances.
