Originally from the Detroit area, Don moved to Miami Beach in 1995 and then to Southwest Florida in 2001. Here, he became the first associate to join Nardi Realty (now Paradise Homes) when Robert Nardi opened the brokerage in 2007.
In addition to being licensed since 2003, Don is a certified Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), trained in buying, selling, and management of properties for investment, retirement, or second home in resort destinations such as Naples.
Don is also a designated Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), with experience and qualifications to assist the 50-plus market in housing sales and purchases. He has deep knowledge to help his clients transition to various senior housing options whether empty nesters now downsizing or transitioning to active adult communities focused on the golden retirement years. Don understands the emotional demands and stress a move can have on a 50-plus client and seeks to minimize them with patience and communication throughout the process.
To anyone currently seeking a home, Don offers this advice:
“Right now inventory is low and it can be difficult to find your dream home. To make this process easier, I work closely with my clients to understand their true needs and desires, educate them on local market dynamics, and prepare them to act quickly when we find the right home."
Don was first inspired to go into real estate for the flexible hours but has stayed for his favorite part of the job - helping his buyers find the perfect home. Whether it is a "snowbird" from another state or a fellow Floridian ready to make their next move, Don has the expertise to meet each client’s unique requirements.
"We have a saying at Nardi Realty, we treat every client like our only client. I do everything myself when it comes to my clients because I want to ensure their experience is up to my standards,” says Don. “I want everyone I work with to feel they have made the most well-informed decision, whether it takes 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years, I am right along with them for the journey.”
Let Don help you find the perfect home for your "Escape to Paradise"!
