Sunday in Southwest Florida: coffee on the lanai, a slow drive down McGregor under the royal palms, and the beach 20 minutes from just about anywhere in Fort Myers. People move here for the price and the weather, but they stay for the pace — boat ramps, farmers markets, and no state income tax quietly funding the whole lifestyle. This is the part of the job I never get tired of showing people. What's your favorite corner of SWFL?

07/18/2026

I'll say what most SWFL agents won't: waiting for prices to drop another 5% is going to cost you money, not save it. Fort Myers is already down 2.4% year over year and inventory is tightening — Lee County listings fell 20% in a single year. The people who "wait for the bottom" always spot it about six months after it's gone, once rates ease and buyers flood back in. You don't time this market, you position for it. Buy the right property on the right terms now, or compete with everyone else in the spring. That's my honest take — agree or not?

Ran three showings in Fort Myers Heights this week for a first-time buyer everyone else told to "just wait." We wrote on the second one, got the seller to cover part of the closing costs, and they're now under contract below asking. That's the whole point of a slower market with 70–80 day timelines — the buyer who moves with a plan wins while everyone else refreshes their apps. Deals are happening every week out here. Ready to be one of them?

Most brokerages hand you a Zillow guess and a lockbox code. We're built different. I own a real estate investing company and the CRM our deals run through, which means when you sit across from me you're getting the numbers an investor actually uses — not a sales pitch. As the youngest broker-owner in Florida, I don't have a corporate script to protect. I have your bottom line. In a market running 70–80 day timelines, the agent who truly understands value is the one who gets you paid. What's the one thing you wish your last agent had told you?

07/15/2026

Here's what the 20% drop in Lee County listings actually means for investors: the deals aren't gone, they just left the MLS. When inventory tightens on paper, motivated sellers stop listing publicly and start taking quiet offers. That's where off-market deals live — probate, tired landlords, pre-foreclosure. I run those lists inside The Deal Lab every week, and the spreads on a Fort Myers flip still pencil right now if you buy right. Want me to walk you through the numbers on a live deal? Reach out.

Everyone keeps telling you Southwest Florida is a buyer's market. Stoneybrook in Estero didn't get the memo. 43 homes sold there in the last 12 months against just 11 active listings — roughly 3 months of supply — and sellers are still getting 96.3% of ask. Meanwhile the bigger story is east of I-75, where the Corkscrew corridor is turning into the fastest-growing stretch in all of Lee County. If you're shopping Estero, the neighborhood matters more than the headline. Which community are you watching?

07/13/2026

510 homes closed in Fort Myers this May, up from 454 a year ago. More sales — but the median price still slipped 2.4% to $348K, and homes are now sitting 70 to 80 days before they move. That's not a crash, it's leverage sliding over to buyers who know how to use it. If you've been waiting for the market to hand you room to negotiate, it just did. Want to know what that means at your specific price point? Message me.

The Place at Corkscrew is the tightest neighborhood I track in Estero right now. There are 20 homes under contract against just 15 active listings, a 133% pending-to-active ratio, with only 1.3 months of supply. Median sale price is sitting at $709,000 and homes are still moving in about 70 days. If you own in The Place and have been on the fence about selling, this is the kind of window that doesn't stay open long. Curious what your home along the Corkscrew corridor would list for today?

06/29/2026

Estero just logged 163 pending sales in April, up 56.7% over last year, the biggest demand jump in all of Southwest Florida. At the same time inventory dropped to 641 homes, down nearly 30%. That's not a "soft market," that's a market quietly tightening while everyone's distracted by national headlines. Buyers waiting for Estero prices to crash are waiting for the wrong thing. What's your read on the SWFL market right now?

06/28/2026

One of the underrated things about living in the Corkscrew corridor and greater Estero: you're 25 minutes from the Gulf, surrounded by preserve land, and still getting new restaurants and amenities every season. People buy the house, but they stay for the weekends. Summer is the time to actually enjoy living here before season picks back up and the snowbirds return. What's your favorite SWFL summer spot?
