Tips on moving to Orlando - first time home buyers

[Ariel Broyles]

Hi everyone! My spouse and I and our 2 toddlers are wanting to move to Orlando (or Tampa) next year. Born and raised in Portland, OR and the houses are expensive. 

What specific areas are the best for houses in Orlando? Like no sink holes or away from floods. We aren’t used to any of that weather…only rain and overcast skies in Oregon lol

Thanks! Ariel (also, I have been to Florida 7 times, but he has never been. So I’m worried about that muggy weather for him.)

Hi Ariel! I recommend checking out the Wesley Chapel area It's close to Orlando, Tampa, Clearwater Beaches. There's great schools and tons of shopping and restaurants. But, it all depends on your budget, what you are looking for in the area and the house, or if you are looking for a house hack situation or not etc. Feel free to reach out and we can go over what it is you are looking for specifically and I can hook you up with a great REALTOR I personally trust if it's not in my immediate area. I like to visit Orlando, but I love living in Tampa. Let's set up a call for 30-60 mins and figure out what area is best for you and what your goals are. Happy Mother's Day!
