Move to South Florida Like a Local
Most relocation mistakes are expensive, and almost all of them happen before the house hunt starts — the wrong city for your life, a tax bill nobody warned you about, a dock that doesn't fit the boat. I'm Reed Kellough, a South Florida native and Douglas Elliman agent (Eklund|Gomes Team) with 200+ closings · 14 years. I wrote the playbook I hand my own clients, and the worksheets that go with it. Start with the free guide, go deeper with the playbook, or pick just the tool you need.
The Complete Relocation Playbook
71 pages. The five coastal cities compared straight, the true cost of owning a home here (taxes, insurance, homestead), waterfront and dock checks, closing customs that surprise out-of-state buyers, and the 90-day plan in the right order. Free updates for buyers of this edition.
Prefer to read it on Kindle?
Move to South Florida Like a Local is also available on Amazon — the complete relocation playbook in a reading edition for your Kindle or nightstand. Five coastal areas compared honestly, the true cost of ownership, buying waterfront, and the 90-day move plan.
