These days you have to be persistant and calm and patient. I have been working on this contract for a month now because some sellers still think their property is the best in the neighborhood and their listing Realtor took and over priced listing...in a down market.

But I finally got the buyer and seller to agree and it is an all cash transaction so it is a win win for everyone...we are all so happy ...YEAH! My CRS Training helped me on this one!

I was just checking the market today and was amazed at the prices and how they have dropped but sales are still good.

A few years ago you couldn't buy anything under $500,000 and now there are several properties under $400,000!

There are close to 6500 homes or condos in Pelican Bay and Bay Colony and less then 5% ,350 are on the market for sale. NAR says that it is normal to have 10% on the market for any area so we are way under that!

There has been close to 230 sales this year priced from $300,000 to $12 Million and I would think that that is a lot better then most neighborhoods or even cities.

I think the reason for all the sales is because first Naples, Florida was rated as one of the best places to live by the travel magazines because of our friendly people and great beaches and wonderful weather. We also have some of the best shopping, our own Phil Harmonic that attracts the best talent and we have more great restaurants then I have ever seen anywhere else.

Second there is no other place like Pelican Bay & Bay Colony with our private beach restaurants,our own Community Center with spa treatments, work out center and private trainers. We have our own men and women's clubs, over 3 miles of nature trails,2 + miles of beaches and we even have our own World Class Golf Club and Golf Course, we even have 18 Tennis Courts and lots of Parks.You might say we live in Paradise or Heaven on Earth!

Third you have every type of home to choose from, single family, villas, condos, low rise and high rise close to the beach or just a few blocks away on the Golf Course or on lakes. There is something for everyone. In fact I have sold 3 places to some people throughout the years because they start of in a home, move to a villa and then later move to a condo depending on how their lifestyle changes.

I have been selling Pelican Bay and Bay Colony since 1984 and I know it is a terrific investment. I sold the first house on the beach for $750,000 and it is now worth over $7Million!

I have added a few pictures below so you can see why Living In Pelican Bay and Bay Colony is Truly Living in Paradise! It is Heaven On Earth!

I am so excited because I just joined the Condo Benefits group here on Active Rain!

I first started my real estate career in Colorado many years ago and I specialized in selling Condos because no one even knew what a condo was. I thought it would be a great nich for me since there was no competition and I was right it worked out great for me and I sold thousands of Condos. I even did a few condo conversions!

Then I moved to Naples, Florida in Pelican Bay and Bay Colony and I just specialize in luxury properties but I sell more high-rise condos close to the beach then anything else and it has been a great career for me too!

In fact I live in a high-rise condo close to the beach in Pelican Bay and I love it! We even have our own Private beach restaurants, Community Center, Pelican Bay Women's League and special coffees for the men...there is always something to do. I even had them put big TVs in the beach bar so now we have a sports bar and we have football parties every Sunday! Even in our condo building we have Monday night socials once a week it is a BYO and bring a dip and we have so much fun it is like having a built in family!

I have the freedom to have more fun because there is less work and I have a work out center, party room, billiard room, theater room and gorgeous pool and spa right in my building. There is no lawn to take care of or pool to clean we just pay a maintenance fee and everything is done for us! Yeah!

I have had several homes and I think I am all homed out and I love my condo and will live here forever!

I invite you to send me referrals to buy a condo in Paradise, Pelican Bay & Bay Colony and I will send you a big fat 25% referral fee...you might want to move here too...I wouldn't give it up for anything in the World!

I think niche marketing is what has made me successful.

When I was in Colorado I specialized in selling condominiums at a time most people didn't even know what they where...I even did a few condo conversions. I was so lucky because there wasn't a lot of competition so I got most of the sales.

Now that I live in Naples, Florida I specialize in Pelican Bay and Bay Colony. I started selling there in 1984 when there were just a few buildings...now there are 6500 residences! I have earned a great reputation loving, living in and selling my passion. My passion is the beach, nature and friendly people and selling homes and making people happy. I am well known in my community because I love it!

I think if you follow your passion and create a niche market for yourself you will succeed even in times of gloom and doom....but I am lucky because there is no gloom and doom in Pelican Bay and Bay Colony.
