Your seller questionnaire

About 3 minutes. “Not sure” is a fine answer. Just want a number? Use the quick home value form.

1. The property

2. Your plans

3. Florida insurance & condition

In Pinellas, buyers' insurance quotes often decide what they can offer. These answers help me price your home realistically. “Not sure” is fine.

4. Getting started

Your answers go only to Mike. You'll get occasional follow-up emails — unsubscribe anytime. No selling your info, ever. Protected by reCAPTCHA.

What Pinellas sellers should know

Insurability sets your price

Buyers can only offer what they can insure. Roof age, impact windows, and a current wind mitigation report shape their quotes — have the report done before you list so buyers can price insurance early.

Florida disclosure rules

Florida sellers must disclose known facts that materially affect value and aren't readily observable (Johnson v. Davis). Florida's flood disclosure law (s. 689.302, F.S.) also requires telling buyers about flood insurance claims, federal flood assistance, and known flood damage.

Close out open permits

Open or expired permits show up in the buyer's title and lien search and can delay closing. If work was done without permits, it's better to know now than in the inspection period.

Condo sellers: gather the building's reports

Buyers will ask for the association's milestone inspection (s. 553.899, F.S.) and structural integrity reserve study (s. 718.112, F.S.) for buildings three stories or taller, plus any planned special assessments.

Typical Pinellas seller costs

Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.70 per $100 of the sale price, and Pinellas sellers customarily pay for the owner's title policy. Commission is negotiable. I'll give you a written net sheet before you list.

Moving within Florida? Keep your tax cap

Homestead portability can move up to $500,000 of your Save Our Homes benefit to your next Florida homestead if you establish it within the time the law allows. Talk to the Property Appraiser or your CPA about the details.
