If you hate trees (as apparently, nearly everyone who is not actively buying a house does), please don't buy a tree that you are just going to beg someone to cut down, the first time you see leaves on your pristine lawn.

To everyone else: I would suggest, very strongly, that you NOT get in touch with this person to try and get help choosing a tree for your lawn. Tis the season to be scammed.
When you build a house, you choose a tree, or trees... no tree is not an option. Because a tree is required at every lot, by the county codes, and backed up by the State. A fact is a fact no matter how sincerely you state otherwise. And regardless of "proof" to your satisfaction.

Again, here to help people find a tree that suits them and become less destructive to this beautiful Florida landscape, and plant for a healthier future. This has been my home for half a century, and when I see detrimental acts becoming widespread and commonplace, like removing all canopy trees, because they are inconvenient.... then I have no choice but to speak, give advice, and offer help to those who can see the forest through the trees(or lack thereof) and wish to help remedy the OBVIOUS ISSUE of TREES BEING REMOVED AT ALMOST EVERY NEW HOME.
