Relocating to South Florida
Not from the area? We have you covered.
We specialize in helping out-of-state buyers find exactly what they want — the right home, in the right neighborhood, at the right price — without the guesswork of buying from a distance.
How it works
Buying from out of state, without the guesswork.
Tell us what you’re looking for
Price range, must-haves, timeline, and the areas you’re considering — a quick call or the form below is all it takes to start.
We narrow it down — with local eyes on it
I preview homes for you, send video walkthroughs, and flag what the photos don’t show: the street, the noise, the HOA, and the insurance picture.
You buy with confidence
Straight numbers on price, taxes, HOA, and insurance before you commit. No pressure, no surprises — just a clear decision.
Your local, on the ground
Travis Paino
A Realtor with Icon Realty Advisors in Boca Raton. A South Florida native with 14+ years in real estate — and a Boca Raton resident for 11+ years — he has personally lived in and around every area he serves. When you’re buying from a distance, that matters: you’re not getting a tour from someone reading a script, you’re getting someone who knows these neighborhoods because he’s lived in and around them.
His approach is education-first. You get straight numbers and honest advice — the full picture on price, taxes, insurance, and fit — not a sales pitch.

Before you move
What out-of-state buyers usually ask first.
Taxes & homestead
Florida has no state income tax, and the homestead exemption is changing — the latest math for Boca is in Market Insights.
Insurance
Homeowners insurance works differently here than in most states. I’ll help you understand what to expect before you fall in love with a house.
Flood & water
Flood zones, elevation, and drainage vary street by street. I check the specifics for every home we look at — not just the listing.
