It has been said that “Detroit builds cars, and Florida builds homes.” The Sunshine State’s appeal goes far beyond warm weather, white sand beaches, and no state income tax.  A Florida homeowner also benefits from the best primary residence law in the country: homestead.  In this first of its kind seminar, Board Certified Real Estate Attorney Ned Hale will explain in detail how the homestead tax benefit works, from initial qualification to Save Our Homes to portability. Ned will then explain how a homestead is protected against forced sale by outside creditors, which is a major reason why Florida is a debtor friendly state.  “In Florida, your home truly is your castle. The more your customers know about homestead’s many benefits, the more likely they are to buy a home from you.
