Are Gay Couples Waiting for Marriage Equality to Purchase a Home?

We had a discussion last evening with our best friend who is
a married straight man about not only marriage equality, but how the delay in Florida's Equal Right to Marry may be holding back some gay couples from buying a home.  Our friend had read my blog post titled "Gay Homeowners Want Larger Homes to Grow Their Family" and he said he was not surprised by that.  He said that it makes sense to buy a larger home before having a child or your second child no matter if you are a gay couple or a straight couple.

We also discussed the idea that there may be a good number of gay couples who are waiting for marriage equality before buying a home together because they may not know how to protect themselves and their partners.  He also expressed his anger that my partner and I cannot be legally married since we have the best relationship out of anyone he knows aside from his parents. Knowing the same people he does as we are all friends in the same circle, we agreed. (smile) Buying a home is a big step in any relationship married or not. I can't help but think that there are a good number of gay couples who are waiting to buy a home because we don't have the legal rights and protection as any married straight couple.

You have options as a gay couple and you do not necessarily
have to wait for marriage equality to purchase a home.  Buying a home together, you can take title in a way that allows either one of you to automatically gain sole ownership of the home in the event of death.  Having title as "Joint Tenants with Full Survivorship Rights" which means even if you do not have a will in place your partner will become the owner of the home without question.  Please be sure to protect your partner and your family when buying a home.  Should you and your partner wish to purchase a home together please contact me for your personal real estate consultation.  I have the knowledge and experience to assist you and your family. Please don't let the States Policy of Inequality and Violation of Equal Rights hold you and your family back from moving forward and buying a home together.

Winter Is Coming and Now Is A Great Time To Move To Florida

The approach of winter is no surprise since it happens every
year and each year more people move from the north to the south and enjoy the warm winters of Florida.  I myself moved to the New Port Richey Florida area from the north.  You may be thinking that Florida may not be a good fit for you and trust me I thought the same thing.  You just might discover that you enjoy not shoveling snow, you may like not having to wear a winter coat for more than a few days a year, you may like having a pool party for Thanksgiving. 


Living in Florida allows you to enjoy a more relaxing lifestyle.  With all of the attractions nearby like Disney World, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios Orlando, Wet n' Wild, the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, you will have no shortage of fun activities to enjoy.  Living in the New Port Richey and Trinity area of Florida you are less than an hour away from Tampa by car where you can enjoy the Historic Ybor City and the Gaybor district which is not only rich in heritage but has a great nightlife of restaurants and nightclubs.  Many headlining musicians include the Amalie Arena (formerly the St. Pete Time Forum) so you are never too far away from your favorite musicians concerts.  Looking for gay culture? The Ybor district has a number of gay clubs and restaurants and New Port Richey has local gay owned nightclubs as well as gay owned and operated businesses. 

Living in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico in New Port Richey,
you have a variety of local beaches to visit.  There is no secret that living on the west coast of Florida, we enjoy the most beautiful sunsets in the state.  We live about 2 miles from the Gulf of Mexico in Port Richey and every evening the sky is filled with the amazing colors of the evening sunsets.  



If this year is the year you decide to move to Florida, no matter what area of Florida you want to live in you can contact me and I will find you the best gay real estate agent in the area that you wish to relocate to.
