Thinking about moving to Florida in 2025? Before you pack your bags, watch this video where I break down the 5 biggest mistakes people make when relocating to Florida and how to avoid them.

From flood zones and storm surge risk to high insurance costs, misleading condo HOA fees, and hidden cost-of-living factors, my team and I have seen it all. These are real situations we help clients navigate every day so they don’t waste money or regret their purchase.

We’ll cover:

How FEMA flood maps and storm surge zones affect insurance rates

Why barrier island homes can have $10,000+ annual insurance costs

The truth about “cheap” condos and how HOA fees can blow your budget

HOA rules that could limit pets, trucks, or rental options

Property taxes, utilities, and the real monthly costs of living in Florida

I also share how my small, experienced team works—just me, my business partner Alex (who moved from the Northeast and knows exactly what that transition is like), and our transaction coordinator Sheila. No big team hand-offs, no newbies—just personal, experienced guidance from start to finish.
