Retiring to Florida?
Retiring to Florida?
Most people focus on the house… but the smoothest moves start with a plan.
Here’s the simple checklist I recommend before you pack a single box:
- Choose the right area
Lifestyle, healthcare access, insurance, and proximity to family. - Make a real budget
Plan for housing, HOA fees, insurance, utilities, healthcare, and travel. - Decide where to purchase
Review flood risk, roof age, and insurance costs early. - Prepare Medicare & healthcare
Transfer records, compare options, and confirm doctors & pharmacies. - Establish Florida residency
License, vehicle registration, address updates, and your paperwork trail. - If you’d like my printable retirement move checklist, message me “CHECKLIST” and I’ll send it over.
