The #1 Mistake Buyers Over 60 Are Making in Today’s Market

If you’re over 60 and thinking about moving to Florida—or already planning to buy a home in places like Orlando, Lake Mary, Sanford, or Altamonte Springs—this might be the most important video you watch all year.

I just dropped a new video called “Buying a Home Over 60:

What You Need to Know in 2025”, and it’s not another cookie-cutter, AI-scripted fluff piece. This is real talk from the trenches—based on what I’m actually seeing with real clients right now in the Florida market.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ Why financing a home over 60 isn’t as simple as it used to be (even if you’re sitting on a healthy nest egg)

✅ The exact questions to ask before hiring a real estate agent

✅ What the new NAR lawsuit means for buyer commissions (and how it could cost you if you’re not prepared)

✅ The biggest traps people fall into when trying to buy and sell at the same time

✅ How Florida’s Portability Law could save you thousands in property taxes when relocating within the state

I also share a story about a couple who drove 11 hours to tour homes... and ended up losing the one they loved because their agent wasn’t aggressive enough. Don’t let that happen to you.

🏡 Thinking about moving to Central Florida?

Whether you’re downsizing, upsizing, or retiring in the Sunshine State—your strategy needs to match the market. And every local area (especially Orlando, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, and Sanford) is behaving a little differently in 2025.

This video walks you through:

• How to navigate fast-paced vs. slower-moving neighborhoods
• Why your price point may be holding you back
• What to do if you’re buying before selling—or selling before buying

🎁 Free Bonus for You: I also put together the Sunshine State Handbook, a totally free, no-fluff guide that walks you through:
