I have just returned form a great week in Florida. Though starting off on the wrong foot (with someone walking off the plane with my carry-on), the week was productive and extremely successful.
The reason for my trip was to interview and pre-screen a couple Realtors to refer clients to. The first stop of the week was Naples. It has been a running joke for sometime that there are more people from Minnesota there than most any other part of the country. Well, that statement might not be to far off and with D'Amico restaurants Campiello and Lurcat there, you know where to find them!My first insight into the Naples real estate market was given to me by Whitey Phillips, a local expert and Realtor with John R. Wood Realtors. Whitey started our tour at an amazing penthouse in the Aria building. What a beautiful home with over 4,000 interior square feet AND a private 5,000 square foot terrace.
We spent the next few hours driving through Bonita Bay, one of the many developments in the area. It is amazing to me how these planned communities, many over 3,000 acres, can feature so many styles of homes - Highrises, townhomes, detached townhomes, single family residences... With home prices from $190,000 to over 7m, there is truly something for everyone here.
David, that sounds exciting! I hope you can head on over to Palm Beach next time! There are a few of us Minnesotans over here an we could use some support! We do have some Chicagoan's but mostly those New Yorker's! Help!!!! ;o) Jolene
