Delray Beach Residential Rental Tour

If you are looking for your perfect place downtown Delray Beach to live – with a crazy real estate market and a lot of people moving into the area – then consider a few options. People are choosing to rent for a year or two.  While overwhelmed with email and calls from folks, Blue Coast Real Estate has developed the best process for you with the new home/pad searcher.  We have more options for you than anybody else around.

We have created the Residential Rental tour downtown Delray Beach,Florida.  It starts by getting some basic information from you because we actually customize the tour to your needs. This saves us both countless hours.  So the basic information we need are from the following questions:

  1. By when will you need your new home?  I get a lock-knee-jerk reaction to this question, such as “I am flexible” or “as soon as possible.”  The more concrete the date the better we can perform. For example, “I need to be out of my place by the 1st; my current lease is up; or my mother-in-law is killing me; and yesterday was too late!”
  2. What is your budget?  I know money is the root of most evil and not fun to talk about, but this is key for me to know where I can and cannot find something for you.  Downtown Delray is turning into a hot spot if you haven’t noticed, so rent is high.  But if I know your budget, my team has some locations just off the beaten path that can still accomplish your goals.  And for those of you who are transplanting from a bigger city and want all that our village has to offer, I can get you the main locations everyone is seeking but only a few have access to.
  3.  How many bedrooms and how many bathrooms?  Can you live in a little loft?  Does a big one bedroom with high ceilings tickle your fancy?  Do you need a 2/ 2 for those friends and family that will certainly be popping in and down now that you are close to the Avenue?
  4.  Hairy little creatures that make one smile or sneeze… some property owners love the little guys and some don’t.  So this is important to know if you have them.  So, do you have pets?
  5.  Credit…these days everyone knows a family that has lost their home, short sold or foreclosed.  Private owners are usually pretty cool about this, especially with money in their hands like first, last, and security payment due upon signing.  So, a place for $2,200 a month equates to $6,600 due at signing.
  6.  Criminal record… if you have this, I cannot help you.  Due to our relationship with owners and community partners, our responsibility is to maintain Delray as a safe place for all to live and work.  While we don’t judge, whatever happened obviously happened.  Our company can’t help you.
  7.  Employment… that little thing called a job.  We like that you are employed or able to give us POF (proof of funds) for a year or two.  For entrepreneurs or business owners like me, a letter from your CPA typically needs to state that you make three times the amount of your rental amount requirement.  This way, you are not strapped to live comfortably in your new home.  We want you to have some money left to enjoy the 47 incredible restaurants just in walking distance from our office and downtown.

So these are some facts that will help us for determining a great fit for your needs.  Once we learn a little bit more over the phone, we can then schedule your personalized tour and become educated on the market place with its pros and cons.  We will also educate you on the current market and the shadow market.  We truly believe that the key to choosing your new rental dwelling is location, location, location and education, education, and education.

Contact Blue Coast when you are ready to find your home in Delray, the sweet spot of Palm Beach County.

Morning at Delray Beach.  The photos of the building under construction is Boston’s on the Beach.  The ocean was calm and flat with thunderstorms to the North and South.  I’ve heard long term residents call it the “Delray Dome” because the rain seems to go around the city of Delray Beach quite often.
