Looking to Buy?
Naples, Florida is one of the most popular destinations around the world, especially for sun lovers.
The real estate market can be fast-paced, which makes it even more important to have a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent, who works solely in your best interest.
Starting your home search?
Madleine believes that in Naples, a buyer often decides on a home depending on their favorite lifestyle. A beautiful home can be found in almost any Naples community, but Madleine assists in finding the right home & community FOR YOU. Do you love a golf community? Boating? No HOA? How close would you like to be to the beach? Do you prefer a waterfront home or lake views? Do you need to have a private pool? Are social amenities important to you? Do you want to be in a gated community?
Naples has so much to offer. A very important step when starting your home search is to find out what is important to you and your lifestyle. Madleine can help you create a “Must have” and a “Want to have, but not a Must” which can make the search and the final decision at the end easier for the buyer.
Madleine believes that great customer service can only be achieved when you actively listen to your customer’s needs. Just as important – she also knows where to find what you’re looking for.
Once you found your dream property, Madleine sees importance in aggressively negotiating the terms for her buyers in order to secure the property for you at the right price (meaning without risking the deal, but also without you overpaying). During the busy 2020-2021 years, when many homes had more than 10 offers within one day, Madleine successfully beat out 90% of her competition and “won the bidding war” for her customers, without them overpaying. She knows which terms can be important to the seller besides the price, and comes up with creative ways to make your offer the winning offer.
Once you are under contract, Madleine helps to set up home inspections, sends reminders for your deposits and important deadlines, helps you fill out the HOA application if applicable, and is in constant contact with your attorney / title company to ensure a smooth closing. Right before the closing, she will set up an appointment to do the final walk-through with you. Madleine has closed on homes where buyers are absent during the entire purchase. She is very tech-savvy and can complete all tasks through video calls and online signing sessions with you (if necessary).
Madleine’s business today is mostly customer and referral based, because she believes that long customer relationships are worth so much more than a quick transaction. Many of her past customers are now her friends and she still meets them for a coffee or lunch. She knows this business is a 7 day job, day and night, and she is available to all of her customers 24/7.
Madleine will make sure to listen carefully to your needs, find the right home for you, negotiate aggressively on your behalf, and then completely guide you throughout the entire transaction, making your home buying experience the best it could possibly be.
Madleine has a great resource of inspectors, movers, pool companies, lawn maintenance, and general contractors. If you need a good contact for your property, she has the resources.
