Guides
Researched, plain-language guides for the questions my clients actually ask, starting with physicians, nurses and other clinicians moving here for hospital jobs.
Moving for medicine
Northeast Florida's health systems hire from all over the country, and a lot of the people who call me are physicians, nurses, therapists and techs with a start date and a contract in hand. I spent years on the other side of the badge as a critical care and emergency nurse here, so I understand the schedule you're walking into. These guides start where those calls usually start: which hospital campus you'll report to, which communities sit near it, and what to sort out with a lender before you sign anything.
If you're relocating for another reason, the relocation page and the community guides cover the lay of the land, and the buyer guides walk through how buying works in Florida.
Buying a home as a resident, fellow or new physician in Florida
What to ask a lender about physician loans, how licensing and start dates affect a closing, and the Florida tax basics, from a REALTOR® who's also a registered nurse.
How these guides are written
Every guide is written by me, from my own work with clients and my years as a nurse in Northeast Florida hospitals. Facts link to the source they came from, usually a government agency, a statute or the organization itself, and each guide shows the date it was published and last updated. Nothing here is legal, tax or lending advice. For those questions I'll point you to the right licensed professional.
