Herbart Ruiz - HomeSmart

Herbart Ruiz - HomeSmart I bring a diverse background in sales, mortgage, and investment. Hello, I'm Herbart Ruiz. Early on, I gained valuable experience helping clients directly.

Owning mortgage and investment firms gave me expertise in financing, market analysis, and strategy to help buyers, sellers, and investors. I've been fortunate to work in real estate for many years, covering areas like property sales, mortgage services, and investment. As a Central Florida resident since 1992, I truly care about this community and the people here. My path in real estate started whe

n I became a licensed Realtor back in 2001. Later, I had the opportunity to run a mortgage company and a real estate investment firm, which taught me a great deal about the financial and strategic sides of real estate. After spending some time exploring the construction technology sector, I realized my passion truly lies in helping people navigate their real estate journeys, so I've returned my focus to working directly with clients as a Realtor. I aim to bring what I've learned over the years and a dedicated, client-first approach to every interaction. Whether you're a first-time buyer excited about finding your first home, an investor looking for guidance, or a seller needing support through the transaction process, my goal is simply to offer helpful, personalized guidance every step of the way. I hope my understanding of the local market and my varied background can be a useful resource for you. Outside of work, I enjoy biking, fishing, BBQing, and spending time on the beach with my wife Christine and our two children. My commitment to family and community is something I value deeply and carry into my professional life as well.

šŸ” The answer? It depends!

Generally, items that are built-in—like the oven, stove, and dishwasher—are included in the sale. But freestanding appliances such as the refrigerator, washer, and dryer aren’t always part of the deal unless they’re specifically listed.

To avoid any last-minute surprises, always double-check the listing details and make sure any must-have items are written into the purchase agreement.

āœ… A trusted agent helps ensure clear answers, fewer surprises, and a smooth, stress-free closing day!

Just because it’s brand new doesn’t mean it’s perfect! Here’s why a home inspection is still essential—even on new construction:

1ļøāƒ£ Catch Construction Defects: Even brand-new homes can have overlooked issues or mistakes.
2ļøāƒ£ Ensure Code Compliance: Verify that everything meets local building codes and safety standards.
3ļøāƒ£ Protect Your Investment: Identify potential problems early, before they become costly fixes.
4ļøāƒ£ Peace of Mind: Move in confidently, knowing your new home was professionally inspected from top to bottom.

šŸ› ļø Don’t skip the inspection. Be informed and protected!
