Buy & Rent

Everything a buyer needs, in the order the questions actually arrive. Not a wall of tools: what can I afford, where do I want to be, is this one priced right, what is wrong with it, this one or that one, what do I offer. Renting sits alongside because for a lot of people it is the real answer.

1

What can I afford

The first question, and the one almost everybody does backwards - they fall in love with a house and then find out what owning it costs.

What you can actually afford

The whole monthly number - payment, taxes, insurance, HOA - and the price your income really supports, with the arithmetic shown.

In South Florida insurance is not a rounding error - it can move what someone can afford by six figures. The page tells them to get a real number from their own agent and type it in.

Where do I want to be

Most people buy a neighbourhood and then a house. Searching by bedroom count gets you a list; searching by the thing your week revolves around gets you somewhere to live.

Where you want to be

Pick the school, hospital, temple, gym or park that has to be close. Only homes near it are shown.

This one overlaps the Listings area pages. Worth deciding whether the five written-up areas belong here too, or stay only under Listings.

3

Is this one priced right

Three reads on an asking price: how it ranks per square foot, what recorded sales say it is worth, and how much room is actually left.

Is this one priced right

Ranked on price per foot, valued off an appraiser-style grid of recorded sales, then how hard you can push.

/buy/is-it-priced-right
On that page you can
  • Best Value
  • Negotiation Report
  • How Hard To Push
Clients only

Comps do not cross US-1 on this page either. Two of these three are Clients-only, so a signed-out visitor sees the argument but not the numbers - check that reads as generous rather than as a tease.

4

What is wrong with it

Every home has something. The question is whether you find it before closing or after.

What is wrong with it

Owner and how motivated they look, flood picture, condition and age risk, and every dollar figure buried in the listing text.

/buy/whats-wrong
On that page you can
  • Deal Dossier
  • What The Listing Says
  • Solar / EV Features
Clients only

Carries the condo warning: get the association financials first, because a special assessment changes the price of the home after you own it. There is an upload box for those documents - it is not built yet.

5

This one or that one

The cheaper building nearly always wins on paper on day one. Upkeep is what decides it, and upkeep is never in the listing.

This one or that one

Two buildings, the same money in. What you actually pocket after maintenance, insurance and the reserve an older building needs.

/buy/compare
On that page you can
  • Old vs New
No signup

Thin page on purpose - one tool, one idea. If it stays this thin it might be a section of the priced-right page rather than its own.

6

What do I offer

An offer is an argument, not a number. What moves a seller is the case underneath it.

Making the offer

Open at, land near, walk away above - with the comps named, the adjustments shown and every source cited, on paper you can send.

/buy/make-the-offer
On that page you can
  • How Hard To Push
  • Negotiation Report
  • Deal Dossier
Clients only

Says plainly that we will not tell you what to pay - distance to work, the school, how long you have been looking all carry value we cannot calculate. The number is the floor for the argument, not the decision.

7

Rent instead

For a lot of people renting is the real answer, and it runs on the same evidence: signed leases, never asking prices.

Rent or buy

What a place really rents for from signed leases nearby, and how long an active rental takes to go.

/buy/rent-or-buy
On that page you can
  • Rent Check
  • Days-to-Lease

Signed rent is also the honest test of a purchase price: a home that cannot cover itself at market rent is a bet on the market.

Read this before you sign it off

What is wrong with this section right now.

Written down rather than discovered later.

Every tool on this door is connected now — and it sat wrong for a day

This plan was drawn while the tools were still being copied off REmined, so all of them were orange ‘not connected yet’ boxes. They landed on 2026-08-02 and nobody came back to this door — eleven working tools kept showing as unavailable to anyone reading it. It was caught by a guard that now refuses to build a page which hides a tool that exists, or shows a button for one that does not. Fourteen live buttons across the seven pages, each fetched signed out and checked by the title it really serves.

Two of the six questions are thin

‘This one or that one’ carries a single tool and a single idea, and ‘Where do I want to be’ overlaps the Listings area pages. Either may be better as a section of another page than as a page of its own. Worth your call before the pattern gets copied into Sell and Invest.

Half of these tools are Clients-only, and now you can actually feel it

Priced-right, what-is-wrong and the offer page all lean on tools that need a signed agreement. Until yesterday every button was orange so it read the same either way; now the open ones open and the gated ones stop you, which is the real experience. Worth walking those three pages as a stranger before it ships — that may be exactly right, it is the case for signing, but it is your call and it is now a thing you can judge rather than imagine.

The condo upload box does not exist yet

The what-is-wrong page tells a buyer to get the association financials in, and says there is somewhere to put them. There is not, yet.
