Johnson Family HomeseXp Realty
Seminole County · Central Florida

Sanford real estate, from agents who live nearby.

Sanford has become one of Central Florida's favorite comeback stories: a walkable historic downtown on Lake Monroe with breweries, restaurants, and the Central Florida Zoo nearby. We helped buyers into Bakers Crossing here.

With SunRail, the RiverWalk, and relative affordability, it's a Seminole County area we keep a close eye on.

Before you write an offer

What we'd check in Sanford

Every area has its own things to look at. These are ours for Sanford, and we go through them with you rather than leaving it to the inspector.

Flood map near Lake Monroe

Downtown sits along Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River. We always pull the flood map and the elevation before writing.

Historic district requirements

The downtown historic area can restrict exterior changes and window replacements. Check before you plan the remodel.

Older homes, older systems

Downtown stock can be genuinely old. Roof, wiring and plumbing deserve a hard look and a good inspector.
