How to narrow your search

Start with how you want to spend a typical day: at the beach, walking downtown, on the golf course or at a clubhouse. Then set your budget for the purchase plus monthly costs, since HOA, club and condo fees vary widely. I help buyers compare two or three areas in person before choosing.
