A closer look

How our search compares

Useful tools are not exclusive to one website. The difference here is how boat screening, estimated ownership costs and an individual home’s magazine come together for South Florida.

Public-page review · October 15, 2026

Payment tools are not new.

The big search apps have mortgage calculators. Here, Budget Search brings Florida after-sale tax estimates into the search for homes within a monthly budget.

Magazine marketing exists elsewhere.

A typical brokerage magazine is a periodic editorial issue. Our property magazine is a different format: photos, facts and local context assembled for the individual listing.

Waterfront is the start, not the answer.

The big search apps offer waterfront search. Our Dock & Draft Match™ tools add preliminary screening for your boat’s dimensions, with unconfirmed details clearly left to verify.

Working with Simon and the team at South FL Luxury Living was an incredible experience from start to finish. Finding an oceanfront condo on Fort Lauderdale Beach can be overwhelming, but the technology on his platform completely transformed our search. The custom budget search tool made evaluating the real monthly picture straightforward—factoring in true after-sale property taxes, insurance, and HOA dues upfront so there were zero surprises. Simon paired these powerful digital tools with 30 years of unmatched local coastal expertise to negotiate a fantastic deal. If you want cutting-edge tech backed by honest, veteran guidance, this is the team to call. Thank you!! Ashley Masher

Working with Simon to find our Fort Lauderdale waterfront dream home was incredible. We couldn't be happier—watching breathtaking sunsets every single day from our backyard and having our boat right at the dock is an absolute game changer. Highly recommend! Gorge Elbaz

We were buying a property in Fort Lauderdale, and it wasn't an easy deal — we were racing the clock and ran into an HOA issue with the city along the way. Simon and his team jumped in and handled everything: the deed, inspection, and title work, working closely with us to sort out the HOA problem. Because of his effort, we actually closed two weeks earlier than planned, exactly when we needed to. He was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent to represent us.

I cannot recommend Simon Gedz enough! Selling my home was a complex and challenging process, but Simon made it smooth and stress-free. His deep knowledge of the real estate market, combined with his experience and problem-solving skills, truly set him apart.

The best of the best. He is experienced and organized. You want Simon on your side! He asks the right questions and breaks down information in a clear and easy to understand way. He found a hidden gem for me and held my hand through the process — even after signing.

It was great to work with Simon. I first ran into him about 10 years ago when he was helping my neighbor sell his house. He made such an impression on me that I told him if I would ever sell my house, I would call him — and 10 years later I did.

Everyone selling or buying a home should have a realtor like Simon. He is not a salesman; he becomes a friend. For me, he took me to the hospital when I became ill and performed tasks not normally done by realtors, including getting a lien removed so the property could be sold.

Acting as my agent for the sale of my condo, Simon was the ultimate professional. Simon is the hardest worker for his client that I have ever seen. Simon did whatever it took to please his client and close the deal for the benefit of all concerned — from photos to showings to closing.

We cannot say enough about our agent! He helped us list and close on a condo in under a month in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — all without having to meet face-to-face. Simon is very personable, professional and, most importantly, knowledgeable of the local market where he works and resides.

Simon is by far the best agent I have worked with, especially in the Ft. Lauderdale area. I own multiple properties around the country and have worked with many real estate agents. We had our property listed with other agents and could not get an offer. As soon as Simon took over, everything changed.

We told Simon what we were looking for, which was very specific. We live in California and wanted to purchase a second home in Ft. Lauderdale — a specific subdivision on the water with at least 75 feet of dockage in deep water with no fixed bridges. Simon did not waste time and found exactly what we wanted.

About the South Florida luxury market

Fort Lauderdale luxury waterfront homes, Miami waterfront properties and Boca Raton luxury real estate sit on a narrow strip of coastline from Miami to Palm Beach, where price is driven less by square footage than by water. A no-fixed-bridge canal home in Fort Lauderdale, a direct-ocean condo on Galt Ocean Mile, a Miami Beach home on the Intracoastal, and a golf-community estate in Boca Raton can carry the same list price and behave like four completely different assets. Simon Gedz has been working these micro-markets since 1995 — the goal here is to give you the same read on a property that an experienced local agent would give a friend.

Have a question about a specific canal, building or street?

Send it over. You'll get a straight answer from me, not a pitch.
