    Broker Tips for Gainesville

    For Buyers

    Properties within the UF bus route zone command higher rents. Factor in proximity to campus shuttle stops when evaluating investment properties.

    For Sellers

    Parent buyers purchasing for UF students are a strong segment. Market to that demographic, especially in spring before fall enrollment.
