I cannot be more pleased with the efficiency and professionalism of Hoffman Realty's property management. I placed my property with MaryAnn, and within days, she located the perfect tenant for me. She has been kind and lovely to deal with throughout the time we've worked together, and I give her most sincere thanks and highest recommendations for others who need an excellent property manager.

Brad, the plumber did an outstanding job flushing the tankless water heater, causing the water pressure to be much stronger. The shower experience is simply amazing. We do not experience the hot water shortage anymore. Once again, Hoffman Realty Representative, Jarred, thank you for your quick response and hiring this plumber to take care of your tenants. Phenomenal job all around taking care of 3 melds in less than a week, Jarred. 5 out of 5 stars.

I am ever grateful to MaryAnn and Hoffman Property Management team. They have been taking great care of my rental property for years. During Hurricane Milton, the team showed excellent professionalism by keeping me updated before the hurricane and inspecting any damages right after the storm. I am ever grateful that I have MaryAnn and the team especially Andrew Dougill to rely on while I am away in Canada. Highly recommend Hoffman Property Management!

Hoffman Realty was an excellent choice to manage my property in Tampa Florida. The Hoffman team is very organized. I am sure they have a huge workload, but that workload is obviously managed in a way to ensure priorities are in the right order. Special thanks go to Jeanette Hardy, as she does a wonderful job of maintaining communication with me, while looking out for the best interest of both me and our tenant.

I have lived in my condo since 2019, and I absolutely love it here! Recently, I experienced an unexpected emergency when my unit's alarm system went off, and the situation was incredibly stressful. To make matters worse, it happened on a weekend, and even calling 911 didn’t provide a solution. Thankfully, MaryAnn and Jeanette, my property management team, came to the rescue. MaryAnn responded immediately to my "SOS EMERGENCY" email, called me, and guided me through how to manage the situation step by step. Her calm demeanor and quick thinking turned what could have been a nightmare into a manageable moment. Jeanette has always been equally responsive and helpful, making me feel truly cared for as a resident. The team’s commitment to addressing emergencies—even on weekends—is unmatched. Their dedication and professionalism are a big part of why I’ve loved living here for over five years. If you’re looking for a property management team that genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend them enough.

FAQ

Can a home depreciate in value?

Generally, real property never depreciates in value, or more so, it is not very common for property to depreciate. This is why it’s a great investment. Make sure you carefully consider location and community when choosing a home, it can effect the homes future value greatly.

If you are in a newly developed area, do some research on the construction of the surrounding areas being developed to determine if they may effect your homes value.

Is an older home as good a value as a new home?

This is really just a matter of preference, but both newer and older homes offer distinct advantages, depending upon your unique taste and lifestyle.

Older homes can generally cost less than new homes, however, there are many cases where new homes can also cost less then older homes. Most new homes will not have any backyard landscaping and some don”t include any front landscaping either. With an older home, the landscaping is normally already completed and could have 10”s of thousands of dollars in landscaping done, which is included in the purchase price.

Taxes on some older homes may also be lower. Some people are charmed by the elegance of an older home but shy away because they”re concerned about potential maintenance costs. Consider a home warranty to get the peace of mind you deserve. A good Home Warranty plan protects you against unexpected repairs on many home systems and appliances for a full year or more after you move in.

In a new house, you can pick your own color schemes, flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, custom wiring for TV”s, electrical, computers, phones and speakers, etc., as well as have more upgrade options. Modern features like media rooms, extra-large closets and extra-large bathrooms and tubs are also more attainable in ground-up construction. In a used home, you rely largely on the previous resident”s tastes and technological whims, unless you plan to farm thousands into a remodeling and rewiring.

New-home designers can use new building materials such as glazed Energy Star windows, thicker insulation and other technology that will lower future energy costs for the owner. Most states now have minimum energy-efficiency requirements for new construction. Kitchens and laundry areas in new homes are designed to house more efficient energy-saving appliances. Older homes, unless they have undergone an energy retrofit, usually cost much more per square foot to air-condition and heat.

Builders have to follow very strict guidelines in new-homes and additions, especially in the West and Northwest, where earthquake safety standards must be observed. In general, new homes are usually more fire-safe and better accommodating of new security and garage-door systems.

Older homes can be better judged for their quality and timeless beauty. New homes that now possess a smooth veneer might reveal the use of substandard building materials or shoddy workmanship over time.

As you can see there are advantages and dis-advantages to each, but it really comes down to what fits you and what you are looking for in a home.

What is a broker?

An agent who is authorized to open and run his/her own agency. All real estate offices have one principal broker.

How can I avoid private mortgage insurance?

The easiest way to avoid PMI is by putting 20% down payment; however, PMI can also be avoided if you only have 5% or 10% for the down payment. The way to accomplish this is via a first and second mortgage combination commonly referred to as 80/10/10^s or 80/15/5^s.

These two methods combine a first mortgage lien for 80% of the home price with a second mortgage lien for either 10% or 15% of the home price leaving the remaining 5% or 10% as the down payment. Because the first lien is at the magical 80% loan=to-value, there is no PMI required, even though a second mortgage is being |piggybacked| onto the financing thus allowing for the lessor down payment.

While the second lien terms are not as attractive as first lien rates, the second mortgage is still home mortgage interest and thus deductible as such on your federal tax return where PMI is insurance and offers no deduction.

What is the difference between being prequalified and preapproved for a loan?

If you’re prequalified it means that you POTENTIALLY could get a loan for the amount stated to you, assuming that all of the information you provide to the bank is accurate and true. This is not as strong as a preapproval.

If you’re preapproved, it means that you have undergone the extensive financial background check, which includes looking at your credit history, previous tax returns and verifying your employment – and the lender is willing to give you a loan, basically meaning you’re approved!

You will usually be provided an accurate figure which shows the maximum amount that you are approved for. Most sellers prefer buyers that have been preapproved because they know that there will not be any problems with the purchase of their home.

How is interest calculated on a mortgage loan?

Most mortgages originated today calculate interest in arrears, unlike consumer loans which calculate interest to the date of payment receipt. As an example, when borrowers pay their February mortgage payments, they are paying the January interest. This method of calculating interest is based on a 360 day year in which each month has 30 days.
