Licensed Florida real estate brokerage
Your real estate agent for moving to florida in Pompano Beach, FL
Moving to Florida in Pompano Beach and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
Pompano Beach sits directly on the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and the Census puts the typical home here at around 1974, so a move here usually means buying or renting an older concrete block home or a mid-century condominium exposed to salt air. The person you hire should be a Florida-licensed agent who knows how coastal flood zones, insurance inspections and association approvals work for these properties. You can verify any license on the Florida DBPR website. Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida brokerage, and its broker of record is Maxim Bohadana (license BK3314523).
We help people relocating to Pompano Beach compare areas, decide whether to rent first or buy first, and understand Florida insurance and closing steps before they commit. A Florida brokerage license is valid statewide. A licensed real-estate professional, either Premier Real Estate Group Inc or a licensed agent we refer you to, will contact you by phone or email. Your consultation is free and carries no obligation.
Housing in Pompano Beach is dominated by 1950s to 1970s block and stucco ranch homes, with a very large inventory of condominiums along A1A, the Intracoastal and the Palm Aire corridor. Census data shows most homes here are owner-occupied, but only by a modest margin over renters. For a newcomer, that means checking the flood zone and elevation of each property, asking what the insurer will require on an older roof and electrical system, and reading association documents before making an offer. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so insurance should be arranged before closing. If you qualify, plan to apply for the homestead exemption after you move in.
What to know in Pompano Beach
Flood zone and flood insurance
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. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage, so ask about NFIP or private flood coverage early.
Four-point inspections on older homes
With a typical home date in the mid-1970s, insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection covering roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Roof age and condition are often the deciding factor in whether coverage is offered at all.
Wind-mitigation credits
A licensed inspector can document roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings on the uniform mitigation form OIR-B1-1802. Insurers may offer credits for documented features, and the amounts vary by insurer.
Salt air and coastal wear
Salt-laden air off the Atlantic and Hillsboro Inlet corrodes garage door hardware, gate operators, locks and vent terminations on beachside and Intracoastal properties. Ask your inspector to look closely at these items.
HOA, condo and 55+ approval
HOAs, condo associations and gated or 55+ communities are widespread here. They may require buyer or tenant approval and estoppel certificates, so approval steps should be built into your schedule.
Condo milestone and reserve study status
Many Pompano Beach condo buildings date from the mid-century and 1970s–80s. For buildings three stories or taller, ask for the association's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study reports before you commit.

Florida rules and paperwork in Pompano Beach
Florida purchases involve a brokerage relationship disclosure, a purchase contract or lease, and closing documents. Sellers must provide a residential flood disclosure (s. 689.302, F.S.). Condo and HOA governing documents, budgets and approval applications are part of your due diligence. For condo or cooperative buildings three stories or taller, Florida requires a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (s. 553.899, F.S.) and a structural integrity reserve study (s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S.). At closing, the documentary stamp tax on the deed is 70 cents per 100 dollars of the price. On a new mortgage, the note stamp tax is 35 cents per 100 dollars financed, and the nonrecurring intangible tax is 2 mills of the amount. Who pays each item is set by the purchase contract and is negotiable. You can estimate these with the free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator at /tools/florida-closing-costs. Newly arrived owners who make a Florida property their permanent residence may apply to the Broward County property appraiser for the homestead exemption, generally by March 1 of the year after moving in. Portability applies only to a prior Florida homestead. Verify requirements with the property appraiser, the Florida Department of Revenue, and a Florida attorney or CPA. Verify any agent's license with DBPR, Division of Real Estate.

In Pompano Beach, demand rises ahead of and during hurricane season (June through November, peaking August to October) and again in the winter season, when seasonal rental turnovers are common.

Moving to Florida in Pompano Beach: common questions
- Do I need flood insurance for a home in Pompano Beach?
- A lender generally requires it if the home is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and homes outside one can still flood. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage, so check the flood zone and ask your insurance agent about coverage before you make an offer.
- Why do insurers ask about the age of the roof here?
- Many Pompano Beach homes date from the 1950s to 1970s, and roof age and condition are frequently the deciding factor in whether coverage is offered. A four-point inspection and a wind-mitigation report can help show what an insurer needs to see.
- Can I buy a condo without visiting first?
- Remote showings and video tours are possible, but you should still review the association documents, budget, and milestone and reserve study reports for buildings three stories or taller. Any buyer approval the association requires is also part of the process.
- When do I apply for the homestead exemption after moving?
- If the home is your permanent residence, you apply to the county property appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after you move in. Verify eligibility and deadlines with the Broward County property appraiser.
- Can an agent from another state help me move to Pompano Beach?
- Out-of-state agents generally can't perform brokerage services in Florida without a Florida license, though referrals between brokerages are common. Verify any agent's license status with DBPR.
