My buyers and I spent several days touring a ton of gorgeous new construction homes—so many options, it was almost overwhelming! With so many great choices, narrowing it down was the hardest part, but they finally found THE ONE that checked every single box.
Here’s where it got challenging: their offer was contingent on the sale of their current home, which can sometimes make sellers nervous. Plus, the buyers requested that the seller help contribute towards their closing costs—no easy task, but you don’t receive what you don’t ask for. Instead of letting that be a deal-breaker, I worked with the listing agent to find a way to make it work and we got it DONE!
If you’re dreaming about a new construction home (or just don’t know where to start), let’s talk. Having the right mindset makes all the difference—and I’m here to help you WIN.

In today’s market—where many homes sit for months without activity—this one went under contract in just 4 days after being listed!
My seller purchased the home in 2023, and with market conditions shifting, it was worth less than what they bought it for. With this in mind, I gave them a clear picture of what to expect. They were prepared for lower offers, trusted the data we reviewed, and were willing to be realistic and negotiate. The buyer initially came in lower than hoped, but with some back-and-forth (and a home warranty strategically added to sweeten the deal), we got it done! Even when inspection hurdles popped up and the buyer almost walked, I worked closely with their agent to find a solution that saved the deal. The result? A home sold in just 3 weeks in a challenging buyer’s market—proof that the right strategy, market knowledge, and persistence make all the difference. I’m grateful to have partnered with such a reasonable seller who trusted the process. Together, we made it happen! Thinking of selling but worried about today’s market? Let’s talk strategy. I’ll guide you every step of the way to get your home SOLD. Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in the heart of Bonita Springs.

This buyer was graciously referred to me by another client I recently helped close on a home in the very same community. Referrals mean the world to me, and I truly appreciate the trust my clients place in me after receiving top-notch service.
