This hot summer, you could use a Yeti cooler from Tropical Financial

What better way to beat the heat than with a Yeti cooler stuffed with swag from the pro-hockey champion Florida Panthers and Tropical Financial Credit Union? From now through mid-August, you can enter to win that prize during the HOMEAdvantage Sweepstakes. You are automatically entered when you sign up for a HOMEAdvantage account.

Tropical Financial makes homebuying easy and rewarding. As a credit union member, you can earn Cash Rewards by using the exclusive program to buy or sell your home, saving an average of $1,700 in the process. You’ll be helped by highly rated, experienced real estate agents.

Here’s how HOMEAdvantage works:

1. When you sign up on the HOMEAdvantage webpage, share a little information about the kind of home you want to buy or the residence you are interested in selling. Tropical Financial will match you with the right residential real estate agent.
2. Connect with an agent who knows the areas where you want to buy or has experience selling homes in your neighborhood.
3. Collect the savings from using HomeAdvantage. It will be a closing cost credit or reduced real estate commission, except in states where, by law, a check will be issued after closing.

HOMEAdvantage offers much more than a listing service. Click “Home Search” on the webpage and enter a ZIP code. You’ll see the latest listings and how much their prices have changed in recent days and months. You can refine your search by the number of beds and baths, square footage and other criteria.

Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or take measure of the market, you’ll have high-quality, custom information on which homes are actively being marketed. Couple that with Tropical Financial’s market stats and price-trend data in the ZIP codes that most interest you.

If you’re a buyer, you can use the credit union’s calculator to find out how much home you can afford and estimate your monthly payment, including property taxes, mortgage insurance and home insurance.

If you’re selling, visit the “What’s Your Home Worth?” webpage for estimates on what your home might sell for if listed today. You might be surprised by the latest numbers on listing and selling prices, the number of days homes are on the market, and other crucial data to help you list with your HOMEAdvantage agent.
