Naples Florida Real Estate And The "Shantastic" Designation!

What in the heck is "Shantastic"? A property I deem exceptional above all others and let me tell you, I must be one of the most pickiest of all people. Why? I've seen it, I've been there, I've done that...what most consider cool or unusual is typical for me...well in many cases something I've seen...grown accustomed to...neat...but....I'm here to tell you, it TAKES ALOT TO EARN THE "SHANTASTIC" designation.

What does the designation intail specifically...it could be a number of things. It could be location or choice of materials...furniture or interior design selections...floor plans....sometimes price if it really is that killer of a deal.

I'm in a wide arrangement of homes and condos. I can spot super cool and unusual stuff quickly and precisely...why? I gage the responses of my buyers and sellers and I....if I might say so myself...have a keen eye of up and coming trends and hot points that cause a comotion. So much that when I did my own addition and remodel that some designers I know and building suppliers said...uhm you really want to do that....yep. For those of you who know me best...know, I don't bet unless I know I'm a winner...takes all the fun out of Las Vegas for sure.

With all that said you must know now that I can't always blog about the best hottest stuff because if I have a current buyer on point...mums the word.

Take today as an example. I had a marathon showing. I showed a hefty number of homes and condos to a very witty and intelligent couple. (I can feel Mike Ferry cringe now as he thinks to himself....Shannon, didn't I teach you anything???) Yeah I know Mike, keep the showings short and precise...hey, they know which one they want....they're a hybrid...it's cool.

I will say now. I can't describe or disclose their favorite property...for all of the appropriate reasons but I can tell you about the one that didn't quite fit their personal needs that in fact does get the Shantastic designation.

It's located in Pelican Bay and is ABSOLUTELY (please read this with a really high note) AAAAWWWESSSOOOOMMMMEEEE!

What's so great about it...first and foremost the view is absolutely one of the best provided you don't require having a location right on the sand and you like the view of The Strand at Bay Colony. For those of you who understand what I'm talking about, it might be the best view of The Strand at Bay Colony that exists...along with great views of the Gulf of Mexico, the beautiful berm of Pelican Bay etc. For those of you who don't know, The Strand at Bay Colony is a tiny grouping of estate homes located on the beach in Bay Colony that surmount exceptional in archetectual eye candy.

What else deems this property "Shantastic" is the floor plan, decor, and the "Shanominal" lanai featuring screened and open space complete with wide open "crows deck" and hot tub where you can literally kiss the sky.

Above all, this is an exceptional property worth taking note should you have enough bank in the account to afford it. It will take over "6" to capture the attention of the seller but...I think it's well worth every penny.

Want to know more like...how do I see it? How do I buy it??? One call does it all, give me a shout. They don't call me Smart Girl for nothing.

I'd love to see what is befitting of the Shantastic designation. Pelican Bay and The Strand at Bay Colony are fantastic.

Yest, JoEllen...Pelican Bay and The Strand at Bay Colony are fantastic but SHANTASTIC is a much higer sort! :)

 CAPTAIN SHANTASTIC - I have no doubt that you know what's good and what's not in real estate.  If you're doing this with agents also, I'd like to sign up for the designation course so that I can put Shantastic on my business cards, websites, etc.  It would be a nice diversion from the normal alphabet soup designations that most people cannot understand at all.

Shannon- Were these your "Good Friday" Showings?  This was a cute Post....I too like that term "Shantastic"....it has a ring to it...a bounce, something fun to give your seal of approval :)  Keeping fingers and toes crossed for a consummated contract :)

ADAM:  That is absolutely Shantastic! :)  You're so funny as for the designation class...uhm..still in the works but I think YOU found the logo for the designation!  Hugs! :)

KATHY: These were my "Good Friday" showings!  Thanks for the well wishes and stopping by.
