HOMEBUYER FAQs
You can call us at (407) 267-2319, email contact@century21hancock.com, or submit a contact form on this page. We respond quickly and will connect you with the right member of our team based on your needs.
During business hours, most inquiries receive a response within the same day — often within an hour. Messages sent after-hours or on weekends are typically returned the next business day.
Absolutely. Whether you’re early in the process, researching the market, or just curious — we’re here to answer questions and help you understand options. There is no obligation.
In most residential real estate transactions, the seller pays the broker commissions out of the final sale price. That means you get professional representation and negotiation usually at no direct out-of-pocket cost to you. We will explain exactly how this works in our first meeting.
Yes. Sellers in Clermont, Florida usually don't accept an offer without a pre-approval letter from a lender or proof of funds for a cash offer. If you don't have a lender yet, we can introduce you to local mortgage brokers who get deals done.
Once your offer is accepted by the seller, a standard closing takes 30 to 45 days. The time it takes to find the house depends on the market and your specific needs.
That is why we include inspection contingencies in your offer. If the inspector finds a bad roof or faulty plumbing, you have options. We can ask the seller to fix it, ask for a credit to fix it yourself later, or walk away from the deal and keep your initial deposit.
