Naples Deal Of The Day! Pelican Bay

The Naples Deal Of The Day is located in Laurel Oaks at Pelican Bay

To purchase in Laurel Oaks at Pelican Bay,  people once had to pay at least $535,000.  There is an exceptional deal in here now due to pricing and condition of the recently remodeled property. 

Since permission from the listing agent has not been granted or offered to blog about this Laurel Oaks deal specifically, you might be able to find it somewhere within all the listings currently available in Laurel Oaks at Pelican Bay. 

I think it's a steal and that's why it has made my Naples Deal Of The Day!

If you prefer not to try and guess which one specifically is the Naples Deal Of The Day, you can contact me direct  and I''ll be happy to send you a direct link.

For more information regarding Laurel Oaks at Pelican Bay or to see any of these listings, contact me direct!

Naples Deal Of The Day! Quail West

I don't know if I've ever seen a single family home listed for under $1,000,000 in Quail West. In fact there was a time when many lots sold for a $1,000,000 and more.  When I saw this Quail West home hit the market, I about fell over!  I haven't been inside but on paper, this looks like one of those deals SO many people are asking me about.



Call me if you'd like to see the inside, No response on offers til the 1st so I imagine they're expecting a bidding war and for a price like this, they'll probably get one.

Call Me! Email Me! Help Me Help You!

We're busy and sometimes it's just plain difficult to think ahead BUT as you prepare your travel to Naples Florida to purchase real estate, CONTACT ME in advance!  That way I know you, what you're looking for and what you're objective is so I can help you achieve it when you get here. 

I LOVE that you visit my website and do your own research.  I love those of you who know Naples like the back of your hand and those who don't really know it at all.  I LOVE to help you accomplish your goals.

I HATE when you call me the day you want to see property and I can't assist you because I already have appointments.  I HATE when you have a true goal and not enough time to accomplish it.  I HATE when you don't get done what you came here to do through lack of preparation.

Listen, I'm here to take the majority of the time consuming, dumb, "un-fun" stuff you don't want to do anyway but I can't do it unless you call or email me first.
