Is Season Really Over?

Posted on June 14, 2011

Where has the Naples Real Estate Blogger been? It's been a busy couple of weeks at NaplesRealEstate.com.

Posted on May 23, 2011

A recent article in U.S. News Travel magazine ranked Naples Florida beaches as the #5 "Most Relaxing Beach" in the United States and the Caribbean.

We've stayed in touch over the years...Sometimes nothing more than just a few of my 'staying in touch' marketing postcards, the annual Christmas card or an occasional personal note to let her know I was thinking of her.

Posted on March 07, 2011

Here is a graph displaying the average number of closed sales per month for the past 4 years [February 1st, 2007 through January 31st, 2011] in Naples, per our local *Sunshine Multiple Listing System.
