Congratulations AGAIN, Downing-Frye!
As a Gemini, I embrace the stimulation of change. Many people dislike change, but for me, it's essential to the growth of my character and spirit.
With that in mind, I surprise even myself by the more than nine years I've now spent as an agent with Downing-Frye Realty, after leaving two prestigious agencies early in my career.
Why? Respect.
This homegrown Florida brokerage was one of the first to help redevelop the Naples area after Hurricane Charlie and other early hurricanes devastated the region. Sixty-three years ago, its native Florida owners began building one of the top real estate firms in Southwest Floridaâwithout ego, pomp, or fancy names. They are ethical, knowledgeable about the market, fair, and devoted to their agents. They are so humble that when we celebrate our first billion-dollar yearâusually out of roughly $2 billion in annual revenueâwe do it at a bar, not a country club.
This month, we celebrate the company's 24th win, as voted by Naples News' Community Choice voters, for being the "#1 Real Estate Company," along with several other major awards, including "Best Broker." I am proud to represent them and to rank among the top 10% of the companyâout of 700 agentsâyear after year!
Congratulations to the entire DF family
on another win!
Speaking of winning! Every closingâwhether for a buyer or sellerâis a huge win for everyone involved, and yesterday was no exception. I am happy to Congratulate Leigh & David on their closing yesterday on a beautiful condo in Breakwater, in Pelican Bay. They were like kids on Christmas morning, opening a new toy, and it warmed my heart like nothing else! We celebrated at SandBar on a perfect night with no rain, no humidity, an almost-full moon, and a breeze in the low 80s. It was fabulousâand a wonderful welcome for them as new Pelican Bay residents.
