Having a Buyer's Agent Helped These Clients Save $100,000 on Their Sanford, FL Purchase!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Heritage Realty

For those living in Astor Farms, a community just west of I-4 in Sanford, Florida..it's time to bake a batch of cookies and head over to visit the new owners of 5060 Hawks Hammock Drive.

The new owners of this fine property, Jim & Laura Tischler, hired me as their Buyer's Agent after a recommendation from their son (who I had represented several years ago on a purchase in another Sanford community). Jim and Laura had sold their home in Tampa and were looking for their next home in the Lake Mary/Sanford area.

After a few weeks of serious looking at homes in Heathrow, Sylvan Lake Reserve, Lake Forest and other area communities, Astor Farms and this gem quickly became a favorite of the Tischler family.

Built by Engle Homes, this Hawks Hammock abode is nestled on a nearly 1/2 acre lot and features just shy of 2900 sq feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an office, formal areas and a three car garage. In addition to being in pristine condition, this home was also nicely appointed with stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry and solid wood floors.

After a series of price modifications and strong negotiations on behalf of my customers, I was able to secure this home for the Tischler family at $350,000...which was more than $100,000 less than the original list price! (and it wasn't even a short-sale or foreclosure!) 

Astor Farms is a gated community in Sanford, Florida. Developed and built by Engle Homes and Landstar Homes in the early to mid-2000's, this 275 home community is a natural choice for those who desire newer construction in a growing rural area.

While the Landstar Homes are built on traditional lot sizes less than 1/4 of an acre, most of the Engle Homes are on 1/4 to 1/2 acre sites. In addition, many of the homesites boast conservation views and are second homes to local wildlife who wander over from the Wekiva River reserve areas.

Located within minutes to I-4, the Seminole Town Center Mall, a variety of dining spots and a mere 30 minute drive to the beaches, Astor Farms is a great place to call home!

Sanford and Lake Mary are both located in Seminole County, Florida, which is approximately 30 miles north of Orlando and 30 miles south of New Smyrna and Daytona Beach.

As a Seminole County resident for more than 35+ years, I'd welcome the opportunity to give you an area tour!

That's fantastic to hear LaShawn!  A Buyers Agent is a definite necessity especially in today's market!  Hey, I have actually been through this subdivision - very nice!  (mom and dad live in Titusville)

Way to go! I wouldn't even think of buying (or selling) a home without a realtor. Some things are better left to the experts -- too many things for a layman to keep track of! And that whole negotiation thing is not my strong point. I'm glad for the buyers that they had you on their team!
