Who Built This Guide?

I'm Maria Fernanda Gallo, a licensed Florida REALTOR® living in Port St. Lucie. I built Coast Florida Living because most Florida real estate websites don't actually help people moving from far away. This guide is the same information I share with every client — written down, organized, and free.

No upsells. No tricks. Just the real local knowledge you need.

Yes. The guide is a free PDF download. You'll also get occasional emails with PSL market updates and honest local insights. Unsubscribe anytime.
Will I be hassled by sales calls?
No. I'll send you the guide, then a few helpful emails. If you want to talk, you book a call when YOU'RE ready. I don't cold-call.
How current is the data?

I'm 3+ years away from moving. Should I still get it?
Yes — starting early gives you time to compare communities, costs and timing without pressure.
