Why New York Realtors and Buyers Choose Salcines Law When Moving to Florida

If you’re a New Yorker buying property in Florida, or a realtor helping your clients relocate south, you’ve probably noticed how different the process feels. The contracts are different. The laws are different. Even the timing and paperwork don’t match what you’re used to in New York.

That’s exactly why so many New York realtors and buyers call Salcines Law.

I’m Jacqueline Salcines, a Florida real estate attorney and accountant with more than 26 years of experience helping New Yorkers buy and sell property here. My team and I make sure your closing is smooth, compliant, and fully protected — no surprises, no stress, and no sleepless nights before wiring your life savings across state lines.

Because when it comes to Florida real estate, you should Never Close Alone.

Why So Many New Yorkers Are Moving to Florida

Every week, we hear the same story:
“Jacqueline, I’m done with New York taxes.”
“I’m ready for sunshine and a fresh start.”

And they’re right — Florida is a smart move. There’s no state income tax, strong property appreciation, and solid legal protection under Florida’s homestead laws. Whether it’s a Miami Beach condo, a Coral Gables estate, or a Palm Beach waterfront property, you can build wealth and enjoy your life while doing it.

But here’s what most New Yorkers don’t realize — buying in Florida is not the same as buying in New York.

The contract forms are different. The rules for title, escrow, and closing are different. And there’s no attorney review period like in New York. One missed clause or overlooked lien can derail the entire deal.

That’s where we come in.
