Popular Jacksonville Southside Communities

If you are looking for something in jacksonville FL then you will find it in Southside! The Southside area which is our zip code 32256 and 32246 is our more densely populated area!

Sink Holes in Jacksonville?

Posted by Carey Frankel on October 28th, 2014

I recently had a client contact their insurance company regarding a house they were interested in the Intracoastal West area of Jacksonville. The out of town insurance company said they couldn't insure the property because it didn't pass their sinkhole test! Well after 20 years helping people buy and sell their homes, I have to say this was a new one for me.

I have had home buyers concerned about mosquitoes, alligators, snakes and even one time our small lizards. But sinkhole?

I am by no means an expert and I gave the client information to contact the local geologist familiar with our area. But this is the information I was able to find online:

What is title insurance - and didn’t I buy that at closing?

Posted by Carey Frankel on April 15th, 2008

Title insurance is an insurance policy to cover any losses if it turns out the seller of a property you purchased did not have clear title to do the selling.  Yes, indeed you did buy title insurance - but typically only for your lender.  You have to request and purchase a separate policy for yourself as the new homeowner.

Why Didn’t My Lender Tell Me?

It may have been stated in the loan forms that you were to read, but like much of the ‘boiler plate’ terms of a loan contract some of it just washes over the reader.  It is a lot of information to deal with, and often the buyer skims rather than reads in detail.

Shouldn’t My Realtor Have Told Me?

Yes, and no.  Homeowner title insurance is a voluntary item, even if it is a good idea.  It is…

Condominiums - Apartment convenience with some benefits of ownership.

Posted by Carey Frankel on March 31st, 2008

Let us take a closer look at the common questions one may ponder when they entertain the idea of purchasing a condominium.

Good Things

Convenience, no lawn maintenance, shared amenities.

Bad Things

Surrounded by neighbors, no lawn, sharing all the amenities.

But Wait…..

That’s right, some of the good things are also the bad.  The pool, if any, is shared.  You have to schedule private parties that need the big party room.

Some of the bad things are good.  You do not have the luxury of a private rose garden, but then you do not have to weed and mow and edge yourself.

Condo living is for people who do not mind hearing their neighbors through the next wall, above and below.  It is a comfortable space for people who travel a lot, have…
