This may not be your first rodeo. More than 50% of Americans own homes, so naturally, there are many people who have gone through the home buying process before.

But just because you’ve purchased a home in the past, doesn’t mean you should not work with a qualified real estate agent for your second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) go around!

The real estate industry is always changing. That’s why we have created a NEW process for homebuyers, designed to SAVE you money while also ensuring you LOVE your new home.

Einstein Home BuyerSomething tells us you’re just … well … smarter than most people looking to buy a home.

Introducing Home Buying For Smart People

Here’s what we’ve got for you:

  • A systematic, simple process to use modern technology to help you find the right home, at the right price.
  • A clear tutorial approach to the “Manausa method” of making sure that you see ALL of the homes that fit your needs without exposing yourself to the serious mistakes that many homebuyers make.
  • A sure-fire way to win the negotiation ... don't let a weak agent allow you to miss out on the home of your dreams!

Home Buying For Smart People is a free multi-part course and ongoing email newsletter. Join the thousands of other "smart people" who saved thousands of dollars when buying a home in a careful and prepared manner.

Be Prepared When Purchasing A Home

Just this year there were major changes made to the Tallahassee Board of Realtors contract, including language that will cause unprepared buyers to spend more money (unless they know what small print to strike!).

Although you may have bought a home 5 years ago (or more likely, 15 years ago) the process, forms and technology have all changed, making it more important than ever to work with a well-trained agent who is going to have your back. Why spend more money on a home than is needed?

Buying A Home With Joe Manausa Real Estate

  1. Knowledge of the current market conditions. Generally, people know the economy in the United States is improving. But by exactly how much varies widely when it comes to industry, state, city and even neighborhood. Every week the team analyzes the latest real estate trends and shares the findings with interested buyers so they can create stronger offers on homes.
  2. Local insight. If you’re moving from out of town, this is particularly important. Joe Manausa Real Estate can provide you with big picture information homes for sale near a specific hospital to smaller details like knowing which roads get backed up during rush hour.
  3. Track record of helping hundreds of buyers. Not just once or twice or a few times a year. This means when it comes to negotiating the best offer, we can help you save money in the transaction. You can read our 5-star reviews on google, here.
  4. Knowledge of what’s on the market…and what’s coming. Because of our connections in the local tallahassee real estate industry, we are aware of properties that are coming soon. In fact, we have an entire website dedicated to seeing the properties that aren’t yet on the market, which means you can have a chance at viewing and putting an offer on a home before it even hits the market.

Purchasing a home may be your biggest investment. To make sure you get the best deal on the perfect home, give us a call at (850) 366-8917 or drop us a note today.

Prior to moving from Montana, we inquired on a house of interest in Tallahassee. JMRE responded the same evening with Catherine Beeche helping to uncover our needs and desires the following morning. With in 2 days, Catherine shot, delivered and reviewed with us 3 virtual tours on homes of interest as well as several others we might consider. Our home search and closing process was very smooth due in large part to The JMRE approach and Catherine's commitment to walk with us from start to closure. Thank you Catherine and JMRE Phil and Carol

As a first time home buyer, I was originally overwhelmed and nervous about the whole process. But Ondrea Maldonado and the team at Manausa really helped me feel comfortable with the entire process, the whole time: before, during, and after the purchase. Ondrea was extremely responsive and always answered any and all of the questions I had. And I felt reassured knowing that if for any reason she was unavailable, other highly skilled team members would be there to help. It was really an exceptional service from start to finish (and even afterward) that I feel is a rare find. I’m very glad I choose this realty company to guide me through the scary but exciting process of buying your first home. I would highly recommend them (especially Ondrea!) to anyone looking to buy a home.

Met with Tim Russell yesterday evening to talk about what I am looking for in buying a home. He talked me through the current market situation and advised me of all the home buying options currently available. It was a no pressure, very informative presentation. Will be working with Tim in the foreseeable future on finding the right home for me to purchase.

I worked with Stacie Boone for several years to finally find my dream house. Stacie had assisted me and my daughter in years past and I knew she'd be my agent when I needed to make another purchase. Stacie is smart, hardworking, and personable. If you're needing an agent, I highly recommend Stacie!!
