My Story... I thank you for visiting "The Easy Button of Real Estate!" website, as my customers have referred to me over the years. I would rather talk about your real estate goals than myself, but here is my story. It was early 1973 when I successfully negotiated my first real estate agreement. As a starving college student just out of the Navy, I managed to list 45 homes in my first 45 days, and sold twelve my first 12 weeks. Since that quick start, I have owned and managed residential and commercial offices, my own construction company, and a 660-unit management company. With 33+ years of experience in SW Florida, I am able to supply a wealth of knowledge to anyone buying, selling, investing or exchanging. Our market changes dramatically from area to area and I make it my full time job staying on top of it. I thrive on negotiating real estate transactions, and focus my energy on making your transaction the best possible for you! Here are some of the benefits I offer:
Negotiating Your Next Home
I like to say, "When you go in the front door of a transaction, you had better know how you will get out the back door when the time comes." That's one reason you need someone who knows the area inside and out! Having worked in 7 developments for 3 major developers I know Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero, Ft. Myers Beach, Marco Island, and S. Ft. Myers. What not to buy is as important as what to buy. The right location, neighborhood amenities, use of those amenities, rules and regulations regarding guests and children, etc. matter. I encourage everyone to answer 9 Crucial Questions before they begin their property search. Then, we will customized a plan to Make the Home You Imagine...Reality. The best part is I will negotiate at all times to insure your best interests are paramount.
Selling a Home
When it's time to sell, everyone offers a FREE CUSTOMIZED HOME ANALYSIS, but... beware of being Sold Short when you should get more, or Over-pricing, to buy your listing, which many times leads to a lower bottom line at closing. You may wonder, HOW WE ARE GOING TO ACHIEVE THE SALE PRICE! Over the last 50 years I have created a 44-Pt. Checklist to Market Homes Right! As an appraiser for 20 years and a mortgage broker for 15 years I can tweaking the marketing processes to fit your property to match current buyer's needs. With over $500 Million in closed sales one must feature a property in the right light to attract a serious, qualified buyer. Showing your property "properly" is a must, and negotiating your purchase agreement is paramount! Opening escrow with the right closing agent is essential, then overseeing and negotiating inspections, keeping tabs on vital paperwork, and eliminating potential problems before they surface is critical to a problem-free closing. I manage my own closings from start to finish. That is why I enjoy being called "The Easy Button of Real Estate!"

Testimonials
"Just a quick note to express our appreciation for your guidance over the past 2 years! I recall wandering into your office in Bonita Springs...Now, nearly 2 years later, my wife and I are thrilled with the home you helped us find and acquire. I told you the day I met you that I was “not in any hurry” as my time horizon was between 2 and 5 years. To be honest, I spoke with a number of realtors during this time (throw a rock in the Ft Myers area and it will probably hit one). Every one of them told me my time horizon was not a problem and there was “no pressure”. You are the only one who meant it! Our search for a place led us down a couple of interesting turns and at least one dead-end. But never during that journey did you lose your patience your steadiness or your confidence that we would find something. We grew to trust you as professional and feel that you represented us commendably. I wish I had a hundred friends to refer to you. We consider ourselves fortunate! Thanks again!"

"I was trying to sell the house myself, and I was having no luck until DeWayne got involved. He was working on behalf of the buyer, but could not have been more available to me. He always answered my calls, or responded quickly to any messages I left. He was the very helpful with the paperwork aspects of the sale. He has such a pleasant "we can do this" attitude which I appreciated. I'm very thankful I did business with DeWayne, and I recommend him highly."
-Rick A., Client
"DeWayne made my home purchase in Bonita Springs and the sale of my condominium in Naples come together without a hitch. At the time, I was doubtful that a sale and a purchase in the same opportunity could ever take place. Somehow DeWayne made it happen in a smooth and effective transaction. Great job!"
