3 Major Tips for Buying a Luxury Home in Naples

3 Major Tips for Buying a Luxury Home in Naples

If you plan to own a piece of Paradise Coast to enjoy the luxury life here in Southwest Florida, then buying a luxury home in Naples—the glory of the Gulf—may likely be your first instinct. Follow your instincts and consider these three tips for buying a luxury home in Naples.

Tip #1. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

The old saying goes: Don’t judge a book by its cover. That advice can also apply when it comes to shopping for your dream home. Sometimes online images of a luxury property may not do it justice in terms of its presence and size.

So, if you’re intrigued by a home that you’ve found online, but the photo of its facade gives you pause, don’t be quick to dismiss the residence outright. Although a picture is worth a thousand words, curb appeal is best judged in person. It may be worth it to schedule a visit to see the property.

Tip #2. Be aware that not all luxury homes are listed publicly.

When it comes to buying a luxury home, it’s not uncommon for a property to not be listed publicly. This may be done to protect the privacy of the seller. In such instances, these properties cannot be found using home search sites or even the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Rather, unlisted properties are privately marketed using an agent’s professional network with other agents and buyers in what is known as a “pocket listing.” As the saying goes: It’s not what you know, but who you know. In the case of real estate agents with a pocket listing—it’s both!

Tip #3. Work with an agent who is a luxury property specialist.

If you’re interested in buying a luxury home, you should work with an agent who specializes in luxury properties. A luxury property specialist has the connections to engage the right network of real estate agents, brokers, and other industry contacts, to get you access to the high-end homes that you hope to call home.
