House hunting can be an extremely fun and exciting process for first-time buyers, but it can also be difficult. Finding houses for sale that you like is easy, but the actual process of purchasing that home for sale -- at a fair price -- is the tough part. It is easy, however, to make a major mistake during this process that could lead to serious and long-lasting problems in your home. Here are a few things you should not do when hunting for your home.

What I love about Lake Mary is that it's, first and foremost, a wonderful place to raise a family. Over the last five years there also has been a lot of big companies that have relocated here right in the heart of Lake Mary, so the economy is thriving. There is a lot more people moving in so there's more restaurants and places to go and things to do. It's just, it's a really, really great place to live and a great place to call home. What makes Realty Executives Agents stand out amongst our competition is our experience. On average, our agents have between 5 to 7 years of experience. Honestly, that's quite on the low end, because most of our agents have been in the business for over 10 years. They're seasoned agents that have lived here and worked…

I just love being here in Orlando, especially downtown, Orlando. There's so much opportunity here. I believe you have the best of all worlds, and that the people that are moving here have great schools, great jobs, great entertainment. There's always something fun to do. We love meeting new people, teaching them about Orlando, and making it their home.

There's so much that I love about the Dr. Phillips area. Our close proximity to the beaches, the theme parks, all the roadway systems around the state, and the wonderful activities like golf, and other sports for our children. And our world class dining on Sand Lake Road, better known as Restaurant Row.

What makes Realty Executives different? Our team has a lot of heart. And whether you're a buyer or a seller, we are passionate about working with you and making sure that your needs are met.

The perfect day for one of our executives is when they've been on the hunt with a family for the perfect home, and finally the day arrives. They find it. And the family, with big smiles, says, "This is it!"

What I want potential clients to know, our…

Recently, we sat down with Jen Dollar, owner & broker of Realty Executives Florida. We asked her a handful of FAQs that we receive almost on a daily basis from people looking to buy homes in the Orlando area. 

What are some of the BEST neighborhoods to live in in the Orlando area?

This is a tough one. For me, in the downtown area would be College Park and Delaney Park. Then, if you go north of Orlando into Seminole County, Heathrow, Steeple Chase, Lake Markham Preserve or the gated neighborhoods down Markham Woods Road. Then in the southwest part of town, Dr. Phillips is a popular area and also, Windermere, and now Winter Garden is becoming very popular with the new home developments.

If I was a younger family moving to Orlando area for the…
