About Coast Florida Living

Built by a local Port St. Lucie REALTOR® for the people moving here from up North. Specialists in the Treasure Coast — serving all of coastal Florida.

Why Coast Florida Living Exists

Researching a move to Florida from the Northeast can leave you more confused than when you started. Most Florida real estate sites are built to capture leads, not to actually help. I built Coast Florida Living so Northeast retirees can get plain, local information about Port St. Lucie and the Treasure Coast — the communities, the costs, and the questions to ask before you buy.

Hi, I'm Maria Fernanda Gallo — a licensed Florida REALTOR® based in Port St. Lucie and a BeachesMLS member. I can help you compare communities and homes, and work through the practical questions — insurance, flood zones, HOA and CDD costs — before you commit.

The experience

What Working With Me Looks Like

1

Discovery Call (Free, 15 min)

We talk about what you're looking for, your timeline, and whether PSL is even the right fit. No pressure. If it isn't right, I'll tell you.

2

Community Shortlist

Based on our call, we narrow the field to the communities that fit, with current homes for sale and the questions to check for each — HOA, CDD and insurance.

3

Video Tours

Can't fly down yet? Ask for a video walkthrough of a home you're considering.

4

The Visit

When you're ready to see it in person, we plan the visit around the communities and homes you want to see.

5

Offer and Closing

We go through the offer together, including the inspection, insurance and wind-mitigation questions to settle before you commit.

6

After the Move

Questions once you've moved in — local services, settling in, hurricane season? You can still reach me.

Let's Talk About Your Move

A 15-minute conversation costs nothing and may save you months of frustration. Worst case, you'll know more about Port St. Lucie than you do now.
