From start to finish on our search and process of purchasing our new home, Dave was the ultimate professional. Not only is he very knowledgeable of the area we purchased in, he has a great relationship with builders in the area. He went above and beyond our expectations in making this an easy transition since we were out of state purchasers. He took weekly videos and …

We had a wonderful experience working with Dave to buy our first home. Being from out of state and not being able to tour any homes in person was worrisome but Dave went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the homes through very detailed virtual tours. His knowledge of the area and fellow contacts in the world of real estate were beyond valuable during our home …

It was our good fortune when we found Dave Leutwyler, from Keller Williams, to list our property a thousand miles away from home. It was intimidating for us to try and do business long distance, but Dave made it seamless. He made the process as simple as possible from listing to close. He advised us on our options with patience and without pressure. He always …

From the initial interview, Dave came prepared and eager! He was able to calmly provide information to not only answer all of our questions, but give us the information we needed to make the important decisions that go with selling a home. Whether you are buying your next home or trying to sell the one you have (or both!) Dave is the guy that you want in your …
-Joe, Client
We are a military family that has been away from Navarre for 11 years and when notified of moving back decided to buy from a distance. When the time came to come back and buy again Dave and team were our one and only call.

HB 1049 — Flood Disclosure in the Sale of Real Property
House Bill 1049 requires residential property sellers to provide flood disclosures to buyers at or before the sales contract is executed. It must include the following:
The title of the form must be labeled “FLOOD DISCLOSURE.”
A flood insurance disclaimer must be provided which states as follows: “Flood Insurance: Homeowners' insurance policies do not include coverage for damage resulting from floods. Buyer is encouraged to discuss the need to purchase separate flood insurance coverage with Buyer's insurance agent.”
The seller must state whether he or she has filed a claim with an insurance provider relating to flood damage on the property, including, but not limited to, a claim with the National Flood Insurance Program.
The seller must state whether he or she has received federal assistance for flood damage to the property, including, but not limited to, assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Florida Realtors® supported this bill to help buyers make more informed decisions about properties and reduce post-closing disputes. The flood disclosure law goes into effect on Oct. 1.
HB 59 — Provision of Homeowners’ Association Rules and Covenants
House Bill 59 requires HOAs to provide physical or digital copies of association rules and covenants to members of the association. It also requires associations to establish a distribution method and timeframe for providing updated copies of rules.
If association rules are amended, the association must provide members with an updated copy. The requirements of this bill can be met by providing physical copies, digital copies or posting a link on HOA websites that are accessible to all members.
“With the signing of HB 59, we further establish transparency to residents of HOAs. Too often we hear stories of residents being unaware of changes made in their community and their accidental violation of rules. This simple measure will now work to pre-emptively alleviate these misunderstandings and engage residents in their communities,” Sen. Linda Stewart of Orlando said.
The provision becomes law on July 1.
