Everything I hand a client, in one place. Read it before we talk, or read it instead of talking to me. Either is fine.
The guides
Written for Southwest Florida specifically. Not national templates.
30 Day Prep to Sell
Four weeks laid out week by week. What to fix and what to leave alone, which rooms buyers photograph and which they walk straight past, when to book the painter so the smell is gone by photo day, and the three jobs most sellers save for last that should have been done first. Follow it and the house is ready the morning the photographer arrives, not the week after.
Naples Seller Guide
What a Naples listing takes now: preparing the home, pricing against real comparable sales rather than a portal estimate, and what to expect once the offers come in.
Naples Relocation Guide
Twelve chapters on moving here from out of state: the neighborhoods, the beaches, hurricane season, what it actually costs, schools, healthcare, and where people who live here eat on a Saturday.
Naples Buyer Guide
How the Naples purchase actually runs, from the first showing through closing: what to ask for during due diligence, how insurance and flood elevation change the number, and where buyers most often lose money.

Know the market before you commit
The neighborhood guides answer the questions people actually ask me on a first call.
- North NaplesFive zip codes, the school zoning, and which communities carry a CDD bond and which do not.
- Coastal NaplesPort Royal to Vanderbilt Beach, how beach access differs neighborhood to neighborhood, and what flood elevation does to the math.
- South NaplesLely, Treviso Bay, Fiddlers Creek and Naples Reserve, and why CDD bonds change every comparison.
- East NaplesBayshore, Royal Harbor and Haldeman Creek, where the value is, and what it costs to make an older home insurable.
- Riverstone and StonecreekTwo GL Homes communities competing for the same family, neither carrying a CDD. How to choose.
- Golf and club communitiesQuail West, Talis Park and The Quarry. What membership is mandatory, what is optional, and what it really costs a year.
- Acreage and Golden Gate EstatesLot sizes, no association, well and septic, and the checks that decide whether a parcel is buildable.
- Every home I have closed
Every move marks a new chapter
When you are ready to talk, you will already know what you are looking at. That is the point of all of this.
