This is why you can’t rely on Zillow tax estimates 👇

Florida resets taxes at purchase, so your payment could look VERY different than the current owner’s.

Message me “800K” and I’ll break down your numbers (taxes, insurance, + monthly).

Most homeowners focus on the inside…
but buyers decide in the first 8 seconds 👀

You don’t need a full renovation to increase your home’s value.

Start here:
✔️ Update house numbers
✔️ Pressure wash
✔️ Paint your front door

Small changes = BIG return when it’s time to sell.

And the best part? These are things you can do this weekend.

If you’re even thinking about selling, I’ll show you exactly what’s worth doing (and what’s not) for your specific home.

Comment “CURB” or DM me and I’ll break it down for you.

Two homes. Same price.
$2K vs $8K a year.

That’s Florida.

Insurance isn’t based on price it’s flood zone, roof age, and wind mitigation.

Message me “FL” and I’ll break down real numbers for your price range.

Day 3: how property taxes actually work in Florida

Yes, taxes reset when you buy.
But if it’s your primary residence, Homestead lowers your taxable value and caps future increases at 3% per year.

That’s why two neighbors with similar homes can have completely different tax bills.

Day 2 of moving to Florida: property taxes reset 👀

If you’re buying from out of state, this is something Zillow does NOT show you…

When a home sells, the property taxes reset based on the new purchase price — not what the current owner is paying.

So that “$2,800/year” you see online?
It could jump to $6,000+ depending on what you pay.

And if the seller has a homestead exemption, you’re definitely not inheriting that.

This is one of the biggest surprises for buyers moving here.

Message me “TAXES” and I’ll run the real numbers for any home you’re looking at.

Everyone wants Florida… until this doubles their payment.

It’s not the home price.
It’s the flood zone.

Same house. Same price.
💸 Completely different monthly cost.

Before you move:
Type the address → check the flood zone.

Zone X vs AE/X500 = big difference.

Most buyers don’t know this… now you do.
