Hello, I’m Terry Ward

A real estate professional living in Ocala, FL, the heart of Central Florida. I can’t think of any other place in the US where you can enjoy the benefits of a more affordable and relaxed pace of life, combined with easy access to metropolitan areas when you want.

My “super-power” is working with first time homebuyers as well as people from Brooklyn and Queens NY and Miami who want to find a better quality of life here in Central Florida.

Spend just a few minutes and let me show why so many call this area “paradise.”

I’m Your Long Distance Buyer Specialist

Here’s My Simple 4-step Process For Working With Buyers From Other Areas. Since you can’t be here all the time, my role is to be your eyes searching out the priorities you have for your new home. When you are able to visit in person we can efficiently review the available homes that meet your needs.

STEP 1

Initial Conversation: Our first meeting will typically be a Zoom conference, or telephone if you prefer. This helps me clearly understand your preferences, “must haves,” timeline, budget, neighborhood priorities, and any other facts important to you. 

Market Education. If you have not had an opportunity to visit Central Florida, or you have visited and now realize it’s the place for you, then the next step is to provide you with all of the information you’ll need to get a comprehensive understanding of our area.

STEP 3

Property Search and Virtual Tours. I’ll use all of the resources I have available to identify available properties that meet your criteria. When appropriate I’ll create video virtual tours for your review and comment. This gives me a better understanding of exactly what you like/don’t like, and let’s you have a better feel for the current marketplace.


STEP 4

Personal visit to choose your new home. Once you’ve made a decision then I manage all negotiations and contract, coordination of inspector, appraiser, title company, and any other 3rd party work that might be necessary. I’ll be with you at the closing, and might even carry a box or two on moving day!
