Five Reasons to Buy a Home in Florida

Fernanda Negromonte

According to real estate expert Fernanda Negromonte, investing in property in cities like Orlando and Miami is easier than you might think.

Many Brazilians have chosen Florida as their ideal destination for buying property in the United States. But why invest in Florida? Given the challenges of Brazil’s current economic climate, the strategy of “dollarizing” one’s assets has become increasingly effective.

Fernanda Negromonte has become a reference when it comes to luxury real estate. She explains that with just a passport in hand, it’s easier to buy your dream home in Orlando.




Five Reasons to Buy a Home in Florida

Florida — especially cities like Orlando and Miami — is one of the most sought-after destinations for investors from all over the world. And with good reason. If you’re considering dollarizing your assets, here are five reasons to take this step with confidence.

“Is that all? Yes. It’s simple, quick, and the return is immediate. For me, it’s an honor to be the bridge that helps so many Brazilians make their dreams come true. We explain the best paths, align expectations with transparency, and the results make us very proud,” says Fernanda, who leads Nova Real Estate.

1. Dollarize your assets.
Investing in real estate in Florida is a smart way to protect and diversify your capital in a strong, stable currency — the U.S. dollar. Just imagine those who invested in dollars years ago, seeing where that value stands today.

2. Security.
Florida’s real estate market is well-structured and transparent, with clear rules for foreign buyers, offering legal and financial security.

3. Simplicity.
With the right support, the buying process is straightforward. Nova Real Estate, for example, assists you every step of the way — even from abroad. Personalized and transparent service.

4. Quality of life.
Sunshine, safety, paradise beaches, world-class infrastructure, and the best theme parks in the world — Orlando and Miami offer exceptional living standards. Florida is perfect both for living and for vacationing. Investors and residents know exactly what that means.

5. Appreciation.
Florida properties continue to appreciate in value, especially in the right regions. This is where Nova Real Estate’s expertise comes in — helping you invest safely, profitably, and strategically.

The Best Place to Raise Children

According to the Best & Worst Places to Raise a Family ranking by WalletHub, Orlando is the best city in Florida to raise children, thanks to its great safety, education, and quality-of-life indicators. The 2025 study highlights the city’s strength in the Family Fun category — theme parks, outdoor activities, and entertainment.

Another city that ranks well is Winter Garden, located about 14 kilometers west of Orlando. The city combines excellent infrastructure with positive social indicators: over 28% of the population is under 20 years old, unemployment is at 5.9%, and only 7.3% of families live below the poverty line. Other recommended cities in the state include Weston, Palm Beach Gardens, Sarasota, and Coral Springs — all recognized for offering strong education, safety, and quality of life for families living in the U.S.

“I’ve had clients who more than doubled their investment in a very short time — and that’s in dollars, which continues to rise in value. For Brazilians already living in the U.S. and looking for a home, the time is now. And Florida is full of amazing options,” Fernanda adds.


Who’s Behind Nova Real Estate?

Fernanda Negromonte has been active in Florida’s real estate market since 2008. In 2015, she founded Nova Real Estate with the goal of offering a more personal and humanized real estate experience.

Even during the economic crisis of the time, when she decided to start her own company, she has been collecting achievements ever since. In 2022, Fernanda was recognized as Broker of the Year in Orlando — the only immigrant nominated for the award that year.

Nova Real Estate now has a team of more than 25 agents and offers a full range of services, including buying, selling, leasing, and property management — focusing on luxury and high-end real estate in Central Florida. In 2024, the company achieved nearly $112 million in sales.

“I lead a boutique firm that provides personalized and professional service. I’m passionate about delivering exceptional results and exceeding expectations, having earned multiple awards and certifications, including the Million Dollar Diamond Producer in 2022 and 2023. My goal is to build long-lasting relationships with my clients and help them achieve their real estate dreams,” says Fernanda.



Why Buy Property in Florida with Nova?

It’s not just Brazilians who have chosen Nova. Major international builders and developers have already partnered with Nova Real Estate for exclusive sales — such as Davila Homes Construction, based in Orlando. Their latest residential community launch has Nova as its exclusive sales partner.

“With our market experience, we’ve earned the credibility needed for major partnerships. Want to build a new community in Orlando? Want to know which lot has the highest appreciation potential? We can deliver all the solutions and partnerships,” Fernanda promises.


What Makes the Nova Experience Unique

– The Nova Way.
This slogan perfectly defines the personalized experience investors have with Nova — a relationship built on trust, transparency, confidentiality, and fulfilled dreams.

“I’m personally involved — I handle, support, and solve everything myself. We show that buying a home in the U.S. doesn’t have to be complicated.”

– Full Service.
Buying your home isn’t the end — it’s the beginning. Nova’s after-sale service is comprehensive and ongoing, supporting both Brazilians living in the U.S. and those still in Brazil.

– Exclusive Listings.
A listing is the official registration of a property on the market by a licensed agent (called a listing agent) with the goal of selling or leasing it. This includes the property’s description, professional photos, price, sale conditions, location, and more.

With Nova, builders and developers enjoy a full structure — from interior design partners and cleaning and landscaping teams to tailored marketing strategies with professional photo and video production for social media.

– The Nova Way of Doing Business.
“Trust and credibility aren’t built overnight. They come from years of hard work, many dreams realized, and investors and builders seeing strong profits. That’s our way of doing business — always delivering the best solutions for our clients,” Fernanda concludes.


More Than a Brokerage — A Strategic Partner

Nova plays a strategic role in Florida’s real estate market.

“We are the only brokerage in Orlando with a New Development Division, dedicated exclusively to brand positioning and sales strategy for major developers. Our specialized marketing and sales team works hand in hand with builders, offering a full structure for launching high-end projects in the U.S. market,” highlights the company’s official website.

 

What Do Nova’s Clients Say?

Dreams fulfilled keep multiplying. Many clients, however, request discretion — they prefer to remain anonymous about their investments in Florida. But some were happy to share their experiences:

“Moving into my new home was a dream come true, and I owe it all to Fernanda Negromonte. Her professionalism, dedication, and expertise made the entire process seamless. She not only sold my previous home efficiently but also orchestrated the purchase of my stunning new one from start to finish with unmatched precision.” — Kléber Alves Paiva

“Without a doubt, one of the best realtors and property managers in Florida. I highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking to buy a property.” — Flemming Rickfors

“Professional, trustworthy, quick sales, incredible and attentive team — true winners. The best choice for real estate in Florida.” — Celso Romero

 

Nova Expands to Miami

In its expansion phase, Nova has recently opened its official Miami office, solidifying its commitment to high-quality service across the state. The local team is composed of experienced agents with deep knowledge of the South Florida real estate market, ensuring a personalized and highly qualified experience for investors looking to buy in one of the most valuable regions in the world.
