I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.

I do not think special education for RE agents on this is a requirement, but it is simply a niche for real estate agents didn't explore, they ask themselves where the money is?

It might be good to have a reputation with agents as a closer who has funds and will buy anything though.
