BUYING WITH RAY
Find your place.
Keep your life in focus.
Moving here from another town or state? From horse farms and quiet acreage to Tampa Bay and the beaches, I’ve lived these different sides of Florida. Let’s find the home and everyday life that fit you.
Let’s map out your move
THE PLAN BEHIND THE MOVE
More clarity. A more useful search.
You don’t need to know the area before we begin. We’ll compare the space, pace, surroundings, and practical details you want, then build a useful home search around them.
Understand the full commitment.
With the appropriate professionals, we consider financing, ongoing ownership costs, condition, and questions to investigate before choosing a home.
Look closely together.
We use current listings and purposeful showings to narrow the choices, test assumptions, and understand the surrounding daily routine.
Move forward with context.
I help you compare options, prepare an offer, understand the decisions during the contract period, and coordinate toward closing.

IF YOUR WORK DEPENDS ON A CONNECTION
Check the internet at the address.
- Start with a broadband availability map, then verify with each provider at the exact address.
- Confirm the actual plan—not only the advertised maximum—including upload speed for video calls and cloud work.
- Ask whether the address is already serviceable or requires construction, equipment, or a delayed installation.
- Check contract length, equipment fees, data limits, introductory pricing, and the expected installation date.
- Test mobile coverage and identify a hotspot or second-provider backup if your income depends on being online.
USEFUL OFFICIAL RESOURCES
FCC broadband map
Start with reported providers and technologies, then confirm the exact address and orderable plan directly.
FEMA flood mapsReview current and pending mapping with seller history, elevation information, local floodplain records, drainage observations, and an address-specific insurance quote. A map is not a risk or premium guarantee.
Florida evacuation zonesCheck the official Know Your Zone tool separately; flood zones and hurricane evacuation zones answer different questions.
Florida 511Study the routes, cameras, incidents, construction, and recurring trips that will shape an ordinary week.
Florida insurance resourcesUse official consumer information, then obtain quotes and eligibility answers for the property itself.
County property officialsFind county records and estimators. The seller’s bill is historical: exemptions may not transfer, and a sale or improvements may trigger reassessment.
Florida school dataReview neutral official data and confirm exact-address assignment and programs with the local district.
