What if you could take your property tax savings with you when you move? In this episode of Real Estate UnRaked, host Eric Rakers from The Rakers Home Group breaks down Florida’s Homestead Portability Benefit — one of the most powerful, yet misunderstood, tools for homeowners.

We unpack how the Save Our Homes (SOH) cap works, how you can transfer up to $500,000 in tax savings to your next home, and the key deadlines and forms every homeowner should know. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just relocating within the Sunshine State, this episode shows how to make your move smarter — and more affordable.

👉 Tune in and learn:

  • What “portability” means and why it matters
  • How to qualify and apply before deadlines
  • The difference between upsizing vs. downsizing benefits
  • What happens if your home value drops
  • Who to contact in your local county to make it happen

Don’t miss this one — it could save you thousands when you move!
