HP Testimonials
Shawn first met us over 12 years ago while we started looking at a home in Cape Coral. He was great to work with and after a few weeks we found our place to retire. Since then, he has helped four other couples, our family and friends find their Florida homes. He and his wife Ruth are good friends.
- Ted & Sara K.As a boater, Shawn knew what my wife and I wanted in our waterfront home. He had the knowledge and experience that allowed us to find a home and he even helped design our dock. You can trust Shawn.
- Michael & Linda B.Shawn was very good when I bought my home last year and three months later, he helped my cousin buy her home. He’s a straight shooter.
- Grace J.When my daughter moved down to be closer to us Shawn did a great job in finding her house and getting it purchased.
- Paul and Robin C.Buying a Florida home is different from Ohio. There were a lot of things Shawn taught us while looking at houses. If I ever have a question on something, I call him. He is always helpful.
- Stephen & Nicki F.No one likes to sell their home. We did not want to leave Florida, but we had family up North that needed help. Capt. Shawn made the process much easier than we had anticipated. He was very helpful in making repairs and getting the house ready to sell after we moved out.
- Dean & Christy M.I do not know how many condos we went through with Shawn, but he was patient and he was very good at explaining all of the things we were new to about condos. It was our first Florida property purchase. Would highly recommend Shawn!
- C.D. & Mary A.It took a long time to find our Florida home, almost a year. But Shawn was good at looking at the properties, emailing pictures, and putting offers together. In the end, we had a great home and we have been happy ever since. He also helped my sister and her husband buy their condominium here.
- Kathy & Justin P.During the downturn in 2009, Shawn was able to find us a home for a great price. We have bought three properties over the last few years with Shawn and he has always provided valuable service.
- Pete & Wendy M.When my husband passed, Shawn’s efforts made selling our house and buying a condo a lot easier. He was great.

There is no time limitation on confidentiality we have with our clients. And this confidentiality only comes with a “Single Agent” or fiduciary relationship. Most brokerage companies work as transaction agents only. And this is not just important over time but also during the process. Some large brokage offices have in-house title companies. These provide Read More
The obvious way it will benefit you is we are almost always less expensive than the larger brokerages with dozens or hundreds of Sales Agents. Why? Because we have less overhead. Real Estate is no different than any other business. We set our fees for services based on our expenses for the successful operation of Read More
All the commissions and fees charged to consumers by brokers have to be disclosed in writing, usually in the brokerage listing agreement or buyer’s brokerage agreement. Sometimes they may appear in the closing statement. And all of these are negotiable. There are many fees and items that come up in in the process of both Read More
With most companies the answer is yes. The listing agreement between you and the broker stipulates such details. But that item, like everything else, is negotiable. At Fort Myers Realty, if we have an unrepresented buyer and we are the only broker on the contract, our brokerage agreements state that the commission offered to a Read More
All broker commissions are negotiable, period. The commission you pay is decided between you and the broker or possibly the Sales Agent you meet with (if the broker has authorized this power to the sales agent). This would be very rare. Every brokerage company has different commissions and some still charge various fees in addition Read More
Most would answer no, you want the best representation you can receive, especiallywhen it doesn’t cost you anymore. Usually, real estate transactions are some of the largest financial events in your life. So having the best representation would be paramount. In the State of Florida, all brokers default to a “Transaction Agent” relationship. But this Read More
