The Home Buying Process
Before You Buy
Preparation is key when purchasing a property. From down payments and mortgage prequalification to understanding the type of home that will meet your needs and satisfy your wants, I can make sure your financial ducks are in a row and your expectations are grounded in reality when preparing to buy.

Selecting your perfect home will require research, expert guidance and knowledge of the local market, and you'll need to consider what it is you're looking for. I can help you find the place that fits your taste, your budget, and your lifestyle. I'm a home hunter's best friend.

" We have bought and sold many properties and Alex Nantes was the best realtor we have ever had. He went above and beyond what is expected of a realtor. We are buying from out of state and he did so many extra things for us like driving a long distance to check out a property that we were interested in but could not get there to see and when we finally decided on one he let the contractors into the property so we could get estimates and offered to let them in after the closing so they could do the work. He is honest, hard working and always responsive to all our calls. Thank you Alex for everything! " - Ed & Jean
" Alex Nantes is an all around 5 star Realator in every area of expertise when I was in search for new home. He went above and beyond my expectations, with an excellent work ethic, to help me find what I needed and wanted during my house hunting experience. He was honest, professional and extremely knowledgeable to help make the process most efficient and accurate. I would not only recommend him to others, I’d gladly work with him again for the selling and purchasing of any property or home. " - Noel L
" Alex was amazing, he took his time and showing us houses for over a four-month period, we had a little credit problems in the past he also advised us on how to take care of our problems. Most realtors would not have taken the time with us but Alex did! We would highly recommend Alex to everyone. Semper Fi!!! " - Mike & Renata
" I visited Bradenton and found Alex by chance. He was very helpful, he listened to me and was very mindful of my desires. He took my business very seriously. I left Florida for Germany, and Alex stayed in close contact. 5 months later. A property I saw but was above my price point, was reduced and Alex submitted my bid for me while I was in Germany. The entire process was easier because of his excellent performance and communication. I think you should consider him a valuable asset when looking in Sarasota and Bradenton Florida. David Starr.
