Why Tampa Bay

Direct flights from PWM and BOS (multiple daily). Strong year-round community. Diverse housing stock: high-rise condo (downtown St. Pete, Clearwater), single-family (South Tampa, Carrollwood, Westchase), 55+ communities (Sun City Center, Trinity).

Costs

Median single-family Tampa Bay 2025: $410k. Property tax assessment with Save Our Homes cap (3%/year max increase post-purchase). Insurance is the wildcard, coastal wind and flood premiums regularly run $5, 15k/year.

How we work

Deja consults on the Maine side and refers to a vetted Tampa Bay agent through KW's referral network. Travis underwrites the Florida loan side directly (FL-licensed MLO).
