Licensed Florida real estate brokerage
Your real estate agent for selling a home in Plantation, FL
Sell Your Home in Plantation and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
In Plantation, the median home was built in 1982, according to the Census, and the stock runs mostly from the 1960s through the 1990s: concrete block and stucco with tile or shingle roofs. A home that age raises questions at sale about roof condition, the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, and insurability. When you choose an agent here, look for an active Florida license you can verify with the DBPR, and for someone who can explain flood disclosure, wind-mitigation and four-point inspections, and association paperwork before your home goes on the market.
Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage. The broker of record is Maxim Bohadana, license BK3314523, which you can check on the DBPR website. We do not claim a Plantation office or team. After you send a request, Premier Real Estate Group Inc or a licensed agent we refer you to will contact you by phone or email to talk through a plan for your home.
Plantation's housing mix shapes how a sale works. East of the western neighborhoods, the older 1960s to 1980s block homes often have original roofs, garage doors and systems at the end of their service life. Buyers and their insurers may ask about roof age, a four-point inspection and wind-mitigation features. Western areas like Plantation Acres have larger lots with gated driveways and perimeter fencing, which buyers may want to see working and permitted. Townhomes, villas and mid-rise condos along the major corridors, along with many HOA-governed communities, add association documents and approval steps. Plantation is in Broward County's hurricane zone, so buyers commonly ask about flood zone and flood-insurance history. Most homes here are owner-occupied, according to the Census, so many sellers are also thinking about their homestead status.
What to know in Plantation
Flood zone and flood insurance questions
Flood zones come from FEMA maps. A lender generally requires flood insurance in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and homes outside one can still flood. Buyers often ask about past flood coverage, so gather what you know before listing.
Roof age and insurability
Roof age and condition are frequently the deciding factor in whether an insurer offers coverage at all. With a median build year of 1982, many Plantation homes have had one or more roof replacements. Records of that work help buyers who are shopping for coverage.
Four-point and wind-mitigation inspections
Insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) on older homes. A licensed inspector can document wind-mitigation features on form OIR-B1-1802, which may support premium credits for a buyer.
HOA and condominium approval
Many Plantation communities are governed by associations that may require buyer approval and an estoppel certificate. Association documents and budgets are part of a buyer's due diligence, and approval is never assured.
Condo milestone inspections and SIRS
Mid-rise condos of three stories or more are subject to milestone inspections once they reach 30 years and to structural integrity reserve studies. Buyers should ask for these reports, and they can affect reserves, assessments and buyer financing.
Open permits and older garage doors and gates
Older block homes often have replaced garage doors, openers and driveway gates, and open permits can surface at sale. Checking permit history early avoids surprises during the buyer's inspection period.
Hurricane-season timing
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and buyers tend to weigh storm readiness during those months. Planning your listing around that calendar can help you prepare.

Florida rules and paperwork in Plantation
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate, under the Florida Real Estate Commission, oversees licensing. Anyone who lists or sells property for others for compensation generally must hold an active license, so verify it with the DBPR. A sale typically involves a written listing agreement, a brokerage relationship disclosure, a purchase contract, and disclosure of known material defects that are not readily observable. Florida sellers must also give buyers a flood disclosure (s. 689.302, F.S.). Condo and HOA sales require delivery of governing documents and budgets, with approval where the documents require it. A resale condo contract may carry a short statutory right of cancellation after the required documents are delivered. For buildings three stories or taller, buyers should ask for the milestone inspection and SIRS reports. On closing taxes, the documentary stamp tax on a deed is 70 cents per 100 dollars of the price (s. 201.02, F.S.). On a buyer's new mortgage, the note stamp tax is 35 cents per 100 dollars financed and the nonrecurring intangible tax is 2 mills. Who pays each item is set by the purchase contract and is negotiable. Our free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator at /tools/florida-closing-costs can help you estimate. As a seller, you may also want to ask about moving your Save Our Homes savings to a new Florida homestead, which you file with the Broward County property appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after moving in. Verify specifics with the property appraiser, your association and a Florida attorney or CPA.

Timing and next steps
In Plantation, demand for home work climbs from late May through October with hurricane-season preparation, and there is a smaller bump in the dry winter months when seasonal residents return. Statewide, listing activity generally builds from January and peaks in spring through early summer, then typically slows in the late-summer and fall hurricane season and around the holidays. Outcomes depend on your home and the market, and we cannot predict how long a sale will take. To talk through timing, call (888) 440-3766 or send a request with the form on this page.

Sell Your Home in Plantation: common questions
- What should I look for in an agent to sell my Plantation home?
- Look for an active Florida license that you can verify on the DBPR website. Also look for someone who can explain flood disclosure, four-point and wind-mitigation inspections, and association approval for your type of property. Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida brokerage, and the broker license number is BK3314523.
- Will buyers ask about my roof and insurance inspections?
- They often do. Plantation's median home was built in 1982, and roof age is frequently decisive in whether an insurer offers coverage. Having roof records and any four-point or wind-mitigation reports ready can help buyers who are shopping for insurance.
- I live in a community with an HOA. What changes when I sell?
- Many Plantation communities are governed by associations that may require buyer approval and an estoppel certificate. You will deliver governing documents and budgets to the buyer, and approval is never assured, so check your documents early.
- My building is a mid-rise condo. Do milestone inspections apply?
- Florida requires a milestone inspection for condo buildings three stories or taller once they reach 30 years, and a structural integrity reserve study for their associations. Buyers should ask for these reports. Verify details with your association and the DBPR.
- Does selling cost anything to start?
- The consultation and the comparative market analysis are free, with no obligation. The analysis is an opinion of value from a licensee, not an appraisal. Call (888) 440-3766 or use the request form.
