Florida Property Help From Hundreds of Miles Away
See how the Florida Property Desk helps Maine and New Hampshire families and professional advisors navigate Florida property, title and closing matters.
FLORIDA REAL ESTATE | MAINE & NEW HAMPSHIRE
When You Live in New England but the Property Is in Florida
Florida Property Can Create Questions From Far Away
Many Maine and New Hampshire families own Florida second homes, retirement properties or investment properties. In other cases, a Florida home becomes part of a family estate.
As a result, a family may need to sell, transfer or deal with Florida property while living many miles away. That can feel complicated, especially when title, estate or ownership questions arise.
We Focus on the Florida Side
The Closing Agent helps with Florida title, escrow and settlement. In addition, our team works with the people involved in the transaction so everyone understands what needs to happen next.
A Genuine New England Connection
New England isn’t unfamiliar territory to us. Several members of The Closing Agent team are New Englanders themselves.
We understand the connection so many Maine and New Hampshire families have with Florida — whether it’s a second home, a future retirement home, an investment property or property that has become part of a family estate.

Florida Property Situations We Help With
Our Florida Property Desk helps New England families and their advisors with common Florida title and closing needs.
01
Selling Florida Property From Maine or New Hampshire
If you own a Florida home or condo while living in New England, we can help manage the Florida title, escrow and closing process. Therefore, you do not have to handle each closing detail on your own.
02
Buying a Florida Home or Second Home
Moving, retiring or buying a Florida second home? Our team provides Florida title, escrow and settlement services from contract through closing.
03
Inherited Florida Property
A parent, spouse or other family member may leave Florida real estate. In that situation, we can help identify title issues that may need to be handled before the property can be sold or transferred.
04
Florida Property in an Estate
Sometimes a Maine or New Hampshire estate includes Florida real estate. We can coordinate the Florida title and closing work and, when needed, work with legal professionals involved in the matter.
05
Florida Property Held in a Trust
Trust-owned Florida property may have its own title requirements. Because of that, our team reviews the title and helps coordinate the closing when a sale or transfer is planned.
06
Florida Title Problems
Old mortgages, liens, judgments, deceased owners and missing releases can slow down a closing. Fortunately, our team can help identify what needs attention before the transaction moves forward.
INHERITED PROPERTY, ESTATES & PROBATE
Florida Property May Require More Than a Typical Closing
When a Family Member Owned Florida Real Estate
When someone dies while owning Florida real estate, the title, estate documents and ownership structure can affect what must happen before the property can be sold or transferred.
The Florida Property Desk can help identify the Florida title and closing issues involved and coordinate the appropriate next steps.
Experienced Florida Legal Resources
When legal guidance is needed, matters can also be coordinated with experienced Florida counsel handling areas such as probate, estate planning, trusts, real estate law and business law.
Legal services are separate from The Closing Agent’s title, escrow and settlement services. Any attorney-client relationship must be established separately with the law firm.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Florida Property Questions From Maine & New Hampshire Families
Can I sell my Florida home while living in Maine?
Yes. Many Florida sales can be handled while the owner remains in Maine. Our team can coordinate Florida title, escrow and closing steps with the people involved in the transaction.
Can I sell Florida property while living in New Hampshire?
In many cases, yes. You may not need to travel to Florida just to complete the sale. Many parts of the transaction can be handled from New Hampshire.
What happens if my parent lived in Maine but owned property in Florida?
Start by finding out how the Florida property is titled. After that, the title and estate facts can help determine what must happen before the property is sold or transferred.
What if a New Hampshire estate includes Florida real estate?
Florida real estate may create separate title or legal steps. The Florida property should be reviewed before a sale or transfer moves forward.
Do I need Florida probate if I inherited Florida property?
It depends on how the Florida property is titled and the specific circumstances of the estate. The Florida Property Desk can help review the property information and identify the appropriate next step. When legal advice is required, it must be provided separately by a licensed Florida attorney.
Can The Closing Agent handle a Florida closing if I live out of state?
Yes. We work with Florida buyers and sellers who live in other states. Living outside Florida does not prevent you from using The Closing Agent for your Florida closing.
