Florida Residents: Flood Zones and Insurance Costs Can Easily Now Be Found Online!

FEMA recently updated its FloodSmart website with new flood zones, as well as estimated costs of coverage for each area. Living in Florida, this is crucial for many of us as most of us are affected by at least some flooding during torrential rainstorms.

Upon visiting FloodSmart, you can find information on Residential coverage, Commercial coverage, preparing for a flood, recovering from a flood, and check on flood map coverage for Broward County and all surrounding counties. Currently, they are in the process of updating the maps for several counties.

If you have any questions about purchasing or selling a home in Broward County, we invite you to give us a call at 954-237-0600, or visit our website. The Tello Team is here to help, every step of the way!

What Are The Benefits To Becoming A Homeowner?

There are so many benefits to becoming a homeowner. Throughout Broward County, families and individuals just like you are making the decision each and every day to purchase a home, joining the ranks of homeownership. Are there really benefits to doing so? The Tello Team wants you to know that there really are benefits to owning a home!

Purchasing a home definitely does mean tax breaks. In most cases, mortgage and property taxes can be deducted from both federal and state tax forms.

Owning a home also means you can accrue equity. If you have owned the home for a while, the appreciation value and equity of the home can rise. This rise in equity can be very useful if and when you go to sell the home, or purchase another property.

Freedom is another benefit. In rental units, you normally cannot paint your walls, change your carpeting, or even in some cases landscape your yard. Owning a home means you have full reign over how your home looks, from the inside and out.

The process of purchasing a home can be stressful, although it doesn’t have to be! The Tello Team gladly will help you every step of the way throughout the entire home buying process and experience. We will walk with you every step of the way, until we place those keys in your hand.
