Begin Your Own Property Search:

So, if you’re ready to begin your search for your own Southwest Florida Property such as a Luxury Home in Naples or perhaps your dream home or condo in Bonita Springs or Estero, we encourage you to explore our website to find information about communities in Southwest Florida. If golf is your game, we specialize in golf community real estate and would be happy to help you navigate the more than 150 different golf communities in our area. If you prefer a more direct approach, we 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, we may be able to help you save money and negotiate for extras which the builder may not let you know about.

Bottom Line:

If you are buying a home in a golf community, you will find it’s more complex than a typical home purchase. As you can probably imagine, there are significant differences between golf communities. There are many different fee structures, membership options, pet restrictions, demographics and many other details that apply to the SWFL golf communities.

If you’re looking for information about a specific community in Bonita Springs, Estero or Naples, please contact us and we will prepare a custom market report for you. We will provide the market information and insights to help make sure you select your dream home!
