Dual Licensed · NJ & FL
Relocating from New Jersey to Florida?
I’ve Helped Hundreds of Families Make the Move.
Moving from New Jersey to Florida is one of the biggest financial and lifestyle decisions you’ll ever make. It involves two real estate markets, two sets of tax rules, two timelines, and a thousand details in between. With 32+ years of experience and licenses in both New Jersey and Florida, I guide families through every step of the transition—from selling their Bergen County home to finding the right Florida community and settling in.
One advisor. Two states. A single, coordinated plan that protects your timeline, your equity, and your peace of mind.
Why Work With an Agent Licensed in Both States?
Coordinated Timeline & Pricing
Most relocating families work with two separate agents—one in New Jersey, one in Florida—who rarely talk to each other. The result is misaligned timelines, rushed decisions, and missed opportunities. I handle both sides, so the pricing of your NJ sale, the timing of your Florida offer, and the closing dates are designed as one integrated strategy.
Tax & Financial Intelligence
New Jersey’s exit tax, Florida’s Homestead Exemption deadlines, and the interaction between mortgage rates across two states—these are not side conversations. I include tax-awareness in every transaction timeline so you know exactly what your net proceeds will be and when Florida’s property tax benefits kick in.
Deep Market Knowledge in Both States
I’ve spent 32+ years in the Bergen County market—Fort Lee, Leonia, Edgewater, Tenafly, and beyond. I know which neighborhoods deliver the best resale value, what buyers are looking for, and how to position your home for a strong sale. On the Florida side, I work daily in Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and the surrounding markets.
One Point of Contact, End to End
You don’t need to explain your situation twice, manage two agents, or worry about communication breakdowns. From the first consultation through closing day in Florida, I am your single advisor— coordinating the home prep, the sale, the Florida search, the dual closing, and the settling-in process.
Five Phases From New Jersey to Florida
A proven sequence that keeps your move organized, predictable, and on schedule. Each phase connects to the next, with me guiding every transition.
We assess your home's condition, identify value-adding improvements, and create a preparation timeline. From decluttering to minor repairs to staging, I connect you with trusted contractors who deliver results.
Strategic pricing backed by comparable market analysis, professional photography, and targeted marketing to Bergen County buyers. I negotiate every offer with your Florida timeline in mind.
While your NJ home is on the market, we begin exploring Florida communities that match your lifestyle — from Boca Raton to Palm Beach Gardens. Virtual tours, neighborhood analysis, and in-person visits arranged around your schedule.
Dual-closing coordination ensures your NJ sale and FL purchase align. I manage the timing, connect you with moving companies, and handle the logistics so there's no gap between homes.
Your transition doesn't end at closing. I provide Florida resources — utility setup, local service recommendations, medical referrals, and community introductions — so you feel at home from day one.
Real Families, Real Transitions
“Multiple Above-Asking Offers and a Seamless Estate Sale”
“Scott Selleck recently sold my family's home, and we received multiple above-asking offers within the initial days of the listing. I was impressed by the significant traffic generated as well as his industry expertise. The entire process was seamless, from taking professional listing photos to helping us navigate the complexities of closing on the sale of an estate property. He also made suggestions for minor repairs with contractors he recommended, which contributed to the quick sale we experienced. In addition, Scott helped my brother transition to find a place of his own and anticipated his needs.”
Anita Pillari · Seller — Fort Lee, NJ
“Bergen County Real Estate Success Story”
“Scott helped me navigate the complex and sometimes difficult process of both selling and buying a home, delivering great results. He has deep knowledge of the Real Estate market and made very astute recommendations every step of the way. He successfully negotiated the sale of my house over asking price, and at the same time was able to secure my new home purchase at below asking price. He puts the client first and went beyond the contractual obligations to get the results I wanted.”
Raluca Coyle · Buyer & Seller — Bergen County, NJ
“Always Available, Always Ahead”
“Scott is incredibly knowledgeable about the area we were looking to buy a home. His recommendations for legal counsel and title company made a huge difference in our ability to move quickly towards closing. When we had a difficult situation come up with the house, Scott spent several hours with us and our attorney to recommend possible options and helped us negotiate with the sellers to successfully close. Scott was always available when we had questions. You are in good hands.”
Christina N. · Buyer — Northern NJ
“Compassion and Professionalism in a Difficult Sale”
“Scott was wonderful through the entire process of selling my dad's home after his passing. This wasn't an easy transaction as there were many family members involved and things were emotional and stressful at times. However, Scott handled everything that came up with compassion and professionalism. He is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of real estate transactions, especially in the area where our house was sold, in Fort Lee, NJ.”
