Referring a Client to Indiantown? What Agents Need to Know

By Brian Wilder and Lucy Lopez. Wilder Real Estate Group at Keller Williams Realty.

Indiantown has 1,460 house parcels and no condo parcels on the 2026 state roll, and the median house just value is $236K [1]. That is 47% below the Martin County house median of $445K [1]. Here is how an Indiantown referral to Brian works.

20-25% referral fee depending on the deal, paid broker to broker at closing.

What happens after you send a client

1. Signed referral agreement first. The broker-to-broker agreement is in place before any client work starts.
2. Same-day introduction. Brian contacts your client the same day, by phone.
3. Milestone updates to you. First contact made, under contract, closed.
4. Your relationship stays yours. You remain your client's agent of record for the relationship, and Brian handles the Florida side.
5. Fee paid broker to broker at closing. 20-25% referral fee depending on the deal, paid broker to broker at closing.

By the numbers (as of Nov 10, 2026)

• 1,460 houses and no condos on the Indiantown roll (Florida DOR 2026 NAL, accessed Nov 10, 2026 [1]).
• $236K: median house just value, with the middle half of houses between $206K and $311K [1]. Just value is the appraiser's market-value estimate, not a sale price.
• 1978: median year built for houses; 51% were built before 1980 and 15% in 2020 or later [1].
• 1,352 sq ft: median house living area on the roll, at about $183 of just value per square foot [1].
• 57%: share of houses with a homestead exemption on the roll [1].

How does an Indiantown referral to Brian work, step by step?

Start by sending the budget, the timeline and the kind of home your client wants in Indiantown. Brian replies to you before he speaks with the client. The fee is agreed in writing, broker to broker, before the introduction. Florida bars a sales associate from collecting money in a brokerage deal except in the employer's name [6], and bars a licensee from paying a referral fee to an unlicensed person [5]. Industry sources put the typical share near 25% of the commission on the referred side [12]. If you are licensed in another state, read s. 475.25(1)(h) before you refer [5].

What does an Indiantown home cost, and where is the data from?

Half of the 1,460 Indiantown houses are valued between $206K and $311K. One in ten is under $151K, and one in ten is over $469K [1]. Against the county, Indiantown sits 47% below the Martin County house median of $445K [1].

On age, 51% of houses were built before 1980, 15% between 1980 and 1999, 18% between 2000 and 2019, and 15% in 2020 or later. The median build year is 1978 [1]. The median house has 1,352 square feet of living area on the roll, and median just value works out to about $183 per square foot [1]. Use that to compare areas, not to price a house.

The roll shows no condo parcels for Indiantown, so this is a house-only search [1]. Sale prices differ from just value, so ask Brian for recent closed sales when your client is ready to make an offer.

Which Indiantown communities and associations come up most, and what do their rules say?

Brian has written up these Indiantown communities. The HOA or condo documents matter as much as the listing. Get them early, along with the budget and any rules on rentals and approvals.

• Meritage Homes at Terra Lago: a new-construction pricing guide.
• Terra Lago: recent sale prices and what to check before buying.
• Indiantown Ranch Acreage: recent sales, housing choices and ownership costs.

The guides report what Brian has checked; the community's own documents are the authority on its rules.

How do property taxes work for an Indiantown buyer?

The Martin County Property Appraiser [2] sets values and takes homestead applications, and the Martin County Tax Collector [3] bills and collects. These are the 2026 state rules [7][8][9]:

• Homestead exemption: up to $50,000 off assessed value. The first $25,000 reduces every levy, school taxes included. The next $25,000 applies only to value above $50,000 and only to non-school levies [7].
• Timing: the owner must hold title and live there as a permanent residence on Jan 1, and file by March 1 [7].
• Save Our Homes: after the first homestead year, assessment growth is limited to 3% or the CPI change, whichever is lower. The 2026 limit is 2.7% [8].
• Without homestead: assessments on residential property can rise 10% a year, school levies excepted, and the property resets to just value on Jan 1 after a sale [9].

Two dates matter for a buyer under Amendment 3, which voters passed on Nov 3, 2026. Jan 1, 2027 is when the new rules take effect: a non-school homestead exemption of $150,000 for 2027 and $250,000 for 2028, and a 5% cap, down from 10%, on non-homestead assessment increases [10]. Dec 31, 2026 is the residency date: a person who was not a Florida resident then starts with the $25,000 school exemption and up to $50,000 for non-school taxes, and the increased exemption begins in the fifth year of exemption [10]. Ask the property appraiser to apply this to your client's dates. General information, not tax advice. Flood zones are address by address, so use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center [11].

How do I find the school assignment for an Indiantown address?

School assignment comes from the district. Look the address up with the Martin County School District [4] before telling a client which school applies. For the village's own rules and services, start with the official site [13].

What nearby cities do referrals cover?

If your client's search spills past Indiantown, the neighboring pages are Palm City, Stuart and Port St. Lucie. The table above puts the roll numbers side by side. The Martin County referral page has the county-level view, and the national referral page has the full process. For a client coming from out of state, the Florida relocation timeline lays out the steps.
