What Does It Take to Move from New Jersey / New York to Florida?
You're not just moving. You're changing your life.
I know, because I made this move myself. Born and raised in North Central Jersey - about an hour from the city. Sold up north, moved to Florida full-time in 2018, and I've lived every version of the landing: the waterfront condo, the gated single-family, and now new construction in Avenir.
Here's what I learned: they don't know what they don't know. Even the smartest movers - people who've bought and sold homes for decades - get surprised by this move. The exit tax question. The sell-first-or-buy-first decision. The insurance conversation nobody warns you about.
This guide is everything I wish someone had handed me.
What's Inside the Move Guide?
- The sell-first vs buy-first decision - and the framework for getting it right
- What leaving NJ really costs (the exit tax, explained in plain English)
- What leaving New York really costs - the mansion tax, the residency tests, and the estate tax cliff
- What Florida actually saves you - taxes, homestead, and the honest insurance talk
- The Florida residency checklist, step by step
- The full Palm Beach County tour: From Avenir, Palm Beach Island and Jupiter to Boca
- The new-construction option - and what to know before you walk into any builder's sales office
- How the move works when one agent is licensed on both ends
48 pages. Real numbers. No fluff.
