Erica Sturtze REALTOR

Thinking about using a condo as a second home now and a rental later?

Start with five rule checks: the shortest lease allowed, how many times per year you can rent, whether there is a waiting period after closing, any furnished or seasonal limits, and how long association approval usually takes. In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, those rules can change from building to building, so we verify them before a property starts to feel like the one.

If you want, we can help you narrow the search to buildings that fit how you plan to use the home.

Thinking about a winter sale in Boca or Delray? These 4 September steps help you get ahead.

• Fix what buyers notice first: paint, lighting, hardware, grout, and obvious exterior wear.
• Schedule photos after cleaning, landscaping, and staging are finished.
• Gather HOA or club paperwork early, plus rules, fees, and approval timing.
• Ask whether Compass Concierge may help with painting, cleaning, landscaping, staging, flooring, or repairs, with payment due at closing and subject to program terms.

If you'd like, I can help you map the order.

✨ THE RIGHT LIGHTING CHANGES EVERYTHING ✨

One of the easiest ways to take a beautiful home to the next level? Premium lighting. 💡

New statement lighting can instantly elevate a space, adding warmth, sophistication and that custom designer feel that makes a home stand out the moment you walk through the door. 🤍

At 9124 Red Robin Lane in Boynton Beach, this brand-new construction home is move-in ready, and thoughtful upgrades like premium lighting can make it feel completely your own. 🏡✨

Sometimes it’s not about changing the home. It’s about adding the finishing touches that make it WOW.

If a Boca or Delray place is on your mind for this winter, September is when the timeline starts to matter.

• Get insurance quotes early. The property you love still has to make sense on the monthly cost.
• For condos, review fees, rules, and approval timing before you get attached.
• Treat closing and move-in as two separate dates. Building logistics and deliveries can add time.
• If you'll be buying from afar, line up your in-town search window now.

If you'd like, I can help you map out the timing before the season gets busier.
