          In the hustle and bustle world of today, buyers are finding it more and more difficult to educate themselves in regards to the various aspects of purchasing a home. BATdorf & Associates has streamlined the process to make it much easier for today's homebuyer. Each buyer that BATdorf & Associates represents starts with a Buyer Counseling Session. This is where the home buying process is explained, and the Realtor® obtains an understanding of the wants and needs of the buyer. A special "Buyer's Book" is given to BATdorf & Associates clients which contains pertinent information  about the process, a Pinellas County map and a specially designed "Home Buyer's Scorecard."
          Below you will find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.   You can also search properties in all of Pinellas County here.
