The move, step by step.
Six steps from the first call to life after closing. The sale and the search run together, so one does not wait on the other.
First call
Tell us both sides at once: the home you may sell in South Jersey, what you want in Florida, and your timing.
Find the area first
“Find the area, community, neighborhood or condo, then we can find the home.” Jack takes you through the towns before sending listings.
Prepare the New Jersey home
We plan the listing of your South Jersey home around the timing of your Florida search.
We check before you tour
We review community rules, condo documents, dock depth and the route to the inlet before you decide which home to pursue.
We plan both closings
We list your New Jersey home and search in Florida at the same time, coordinating the two transactions so the closings line up.
After the move
Apply for the homestead exemption if Florida becomes your primary residence. We stay after closing, with help on title companies, contractors and the questions that come up.
Start with both phone lines: 609-602-7140 in South Jersey, 561-660-2352 in South Florida.

Plan the house
for the months you are away.
If you keep your South Jersey home and add one in Florida, the Florida home may be a second home rather than a primary residence, and the homestead exemption applies only to a primary residence. Insurance varies property by property, so get quotes, including flood insurance, during the inspection period, and plan who checks the house between visits. Jack holds the Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist designation.
In our clients' words.
Client reviews Zillow and GoogleUsually when you hire an agent, he just start sending you all listing but Jack strategy is different. He starts with taking you for a ride and show you all areas to make you get familiar with different options.
Jack handled the sale of my Mother in Laws shore house for us and couldn't have been more professional. He got us an almost full price offer quickly and took care of all the details even finding someone to clean out and remove all the contents of the house.
