ATTENTION EUROPEAN

AND FOREIGN NATIONALS

If you are visiting us from abroad, there are misconceptions many people have about Realtors and how real estate works here, since it is quite different from Europe and other areas. If you are interested in purchasing a condo, home, lot or business you should work with only one Realtor. Why? Because we all work together here and have access to all available properties through our Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Realtors don’t sell only properties listed by themselves. Any Realtor can sell you virtually any condo, home, townhouse, villa, cottage, vacant lot, business or commercial property. You don’t have to call each ad you see in a paper or magazine. So call the Realtor you have chosen with ads in your hand and they will do all the research. When you work with only one Realtor, it is a time saver because it avoids being shown the same property by more than one agent.

If you are contemplating a real estate purchase on Marco Island, the most important thing you can do for yourself (besides calling me) is to read the much awaited, republished and revised book “THE LAST PARADISE - the building of modern Marco Island” by Douglas Waitley.

This book is required reading and explains how modern Marco evolved when the Mackle Brothers/

Deltona Corporation purchased this 24 square mile island from the Collier family in 1964 (46 years ago) for $7 million. If the Mackle Brothers were alive today I’m sure they would be astounded to know that several individual homes on Marco have sold for more than $7 million. The developer staged a grand opening January 13, 1965. Over 20,000 people visited that day alone! Amazing!!

My parents purchased a condominium in 1970 and I and my 8 siblings and their families would visit Mom and Dad at different times each year. We loved Marco so much that we came back every year for our two week vacations.

Every departure from Camelot was extremely difficult until our trip in 1983. That trip there was no departure - I never went back!! I resigned my great corporate job and moved my wife and three kids to Marco. I’ve never looked back and it was the best decision I’ve made in my entire life.

So what about you? Life is too short! Do something as outstanding as spending your time well. Here - in paradise. Come home to Marco Island.There is something for everybody in all price ranges in our greater Marco Island area.

By committing to the Marco area, you can secure a lifestyle that most people only dream of. You will achieve peace of mind knowing that you own a piece of paradise. So why not now? You deserve it, just do it, sit back and watch your real estate

CD appreciate. This is the GREATEST BUYERS’ MARKET in modern Marco Island’s 45 year history. Oh to be a buyer in today’s market! We will very soon be saying goodbye to the good buys in our area. We are rapidly approaching build-out and there will never, ever be another island developed like Marco. Why? Because our government and all the environmental laws prohibit dredging canals and building on mangrove islands. Our perfectly pre-planned community of Marco is a very limited commodity, never to be reproduced anywhere in the U.S. Limited commodities naturally increase in price. So hurry the buyers are back!

Believe me, prices will never be this low again. Smart buyers are making their moves, scooping up extremely motivated sellers’ properties, short sales and foreclosures at unbelievable prices and terms. The deal is this: you snooze, you loose! Demand for our zip code continues.

Folks, we are on the threshold of greatness! It is truly paradise here in our Hawaii of the East. The future is guaranteed to be spectacular.

We are specialists in Marco and our surrounding communities. We are experts in all the distressed properties. Feel free to stop by our main office at 207 N. Collier Blvd., just one block north of Residents’ Beach and San Marco Road, at the corner of Saturn Ct. Look for the big EXIT sign! Ask for Joe Charde, Broker/Owner, a/k/a the Guru.
