Downsizing in Kissimmee and Poinciana
Moving after many years in a home is a big decision. Priscilla plans the whole move with you: timing the sale and the purchase, what to keep and what to sell, and finding a home that is easier to live in and to maintain. She also works with family members who are helping a parent move.
Poinciana is a large, mostly owner-occupied community that crosses the Osceola and Polk county line, so taxes and services depend on which side a home is on. About one in five residents is 65 or older, and the area includes 55+ communities such as Solivita. Kissimmee is the Osceola County seat, closer to shopping, hospitals and the Orlando area.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my homestead tax savings if I move?
Florida lets many homeowners transfer some of their Save Our Homes benefit to a new homestead within a set time. Ask the county property appraiser how it applies to you; we can help you plan the timing.
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your finances and how much flexibility you need. We walk through both options with you and, if needed, your lender.
Is Poinciana in Osceola or Polk County?
Both. Poinciana crosses the county line, so taxes and services depend on the address. We confirm it for every home.
Can family members help with the process?
Yes. Many of our clients involve their children or a trusted person, and we're happy to include them in calls and showings.
