I am a seasoned waterfront and gated community expert. This is what I sell, what I know best and what people come to me for. I have worked hard to gain the education and knowledge to services these properties. People who are looking for this type of property are my preferred customers and clients. I do "go outside the box" on occassion, especially for those who are referred to me by past clients. So even if you don't want to buy or sell property on the water or in a gated community, give me a call. If I can't help you personally, I have very excellent and proven associates who can.

Name Disclosure: It's a bit complicated but since infanthood my family and friends have called me "Cheetah" this is my identity and who I am. My "real" (legal) first name is "Frances" and since the State of Florida only allows licenses to be issues to legal names, Frances Currier is the name on my real estate license (I'm required to disclose this right away).  This is why you'll see a F.  in front of "Cheetah" on my website and other business related marketing. How I got the name is a rather long but cute story that I'll share with you when you become my client.

Why Use Me for your Southwest Florida Waterfront and Gated Community Real Estate Needs?

You'll find specific details on my Waterfront and Gated Communities pages.  Below is my business model and philosophy which are also important for you to know.

It is the personal touch, the one-on-one interaction (whether through email, phone calls or in-person), the time spent together collaboratng and consulting, asking and answering each other's questions and interacting in a relaxed, no-presser manner that ultimately brings success.

You'll find that this website is full of technology, many useful tools that I provide for visitors. Searching the MLS, automatic email notifications, reports and more. They may be impressive and great for imparting information but in the end they are only impersonal ways of communication. I certainly embrace and use technology and every other tool I have, along with everything I know to accomplish your goal. But they can not and never will replace the personal touch in my business.

When you work with me as a buyer or investor you will enjoy a collaborative process that includes a private orientation session that will determineall you specific needs through the give and take of questions and answers. You'll receive an overview of current real estate market conditions.(Knowledge is power when buying real estate and it's important for you to have the most current and factual information and advice at hand) when you have the right information you can make sound real estate offers. We'll use your well determined criteria to research and identify a selection of properties for you to choose from. Appointments will then be made and I'll take you out to see the properties you want to see. We'll keep doing this until you find the property you want to buy. I want to make sure that you are always the one in control and making the choices every step of the way. As a buyer, no one should tell you what to buy or where to buy it, that's a decision that only you can make. But sometimes you need help in identifying the "what" and "where". People who live here, or know the area, already know where they want to live, but if you're new to our area you'll need help to identify which of our coastal communities offers the best mix of the amenities and features you want to enjoy. My job is to help you determine the "where" by providing information, sharing local knowledge and giving you an overview of the communities that fit your specific requirements. Once the "where" has been chosen you'll have a much more relaxed and enjoyable time previewing your selection of homes or investment properties.

When you are my seller client your waterfront or gated community property will receive a thorough overview followed by a consultation where the we'll discuss the results of my overview of your property. You'll get detailed advice on pricing, guideance on terms and strategies, and a complete orientation about how to stage your home using the best practices for attracting qualified buyers. Once listed, your property gets global exposure through my exclusive "Brining in Buyers" marketing program.

While all of the above is very important for you to know, I never lose site of the main purpose, which is to make sure that my buyers end up with the best possible property, in their preferred location, negotiated fiercely on their behalf for the best price. And that my sellers end up selling for the best terms, in the shortest amount of time possible with the best well negotiated price possible.

It's also important that you know what I expect of myself. How I perform for my clients matters a great deal to me. Not only is my reputation on the line but so is my business. When you become my client you become everything to me, your satisfaction and success are paramount because it brings me future business. When clients are happy they refer me to their friends, neighbors and families. Because my business relies heavily on referrals, each client is as important as the other. If my service isn't outstanding then I haven't done my job. If I don't an outstanding job my reputation and business suffer.
