Begin Your Own Property Search:

So, if you’re ready to begin your search for your Southwest Florida Luxury dream home or condo, I encourage you to explore my website to find information about communities in the area. If golf is your game, I specialize in golf community real estate and would be happy to help you navigate more than 100 different golf communities in our area. If you prefer a more direct approach, I will provide a list of properties that meet your criteria and/or communities that meet your needs.

Also, if you are considering new construction, remember the contractor’s real estate agent represents the builder’s best interest, not yours. There is no cost for you to have an agent represent you. In fact, I may be able to help you save money and negotiate for extras which the builder may not let you know about.

Lastly, I will handle all contract negotiations for your property from offer to close!

If you are looking to sell a home in Bonita Springs, Estero or Naples, I encourage you to work with a REALTOR® who has the experience and knowledge to provide an accurate market comparison so you can determine the right asking price.
