J Martin Orlando MBA

Welcome to Delaware aEUR"the hidden gem!! I was born and raised in Smyrna and have been a Kent County, DE. resident my entire life. That gives me a unique perspective and understanding of the county, schools, home values and developments that most do not possess. On a personal note I have more than 27 years of financial services experience with hundreds of satisfied clients representing tens of millions in Real Estate Volume. Delaware features some of the lowest property and income taxes in the country with tax free shopping to boot. We have the 4th lowest property tax rate in the country. New Jersey had the highest property tax rate in the country while PA & NY ranked the 7th & 8th highest respectively. Delaware is tax-friendly toward retirees. It is one of just four states with no sales tax at the state or local level. Delaware does not tax Social Security income. We are home to 64% of the fortune 500 companies due to our internationally renowned chancery court, favorable corporate tax structure, enormous talent pool and second to none secondary education system. There are many choices of excellent Universities and Colleges. Kent County is centrally located so traveling to the beautiful beaches or the large metro areas in the Mid-Atlantic region is a breeze. When you're tasked with buying or selling your most valuable asset (your home) don't just wing itaEUR"go with the proven leaders that have a solid track record of success. There is no substitute for experience!
