My Team At JRW Has A New Name and Logo

We are now:  Grup Coastal Living

... at John R. Wood Properties.

The change comes at the behest of new marketing rules issued by the Florida Real Estate Commission, and follows new guidelines being adopted across the USA.

I am proud to partner with these first class individuals in providing unparalleled professional services to discriminating buyers and sellers along our beautiful Southwest Florida coast.

Lee County, Florida Announces Funding For New Artificial Reef in Gulf of Mexico

The Lee County commissioners have awarded a contract to create a new artificial reef at Chris Koepfer's ARC Reef Site using a $120,000 grant from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission and 1,000 tons of donated concrete and limestone.

The reef site is located approximately 14 nautical miles southwest of Redfish Pass.

Lee County has operated an active artificial reef program since the late 1980s. Grants from federal, state and private sources help create a range of recreational opportunities from inshore to the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico. Reef sites range from sunken ships and boxcars to bridges and barges. Koepfer's ARC Reef Site is named in memory of the pioneer of Lee County's artificial reef program.

What We Sell In Southwest Florida

I have always said that here in Southwest Florida, with real estate we sell a lifestyle.

I heard it put a little differently last night during our annual John R. Wood Properties awards ceremony, recognizing top selling agents and teams at our brokerage.

             "You sell second and third homes to people who don't need them. To people who just want to 
               live or visit here."

Why yes. Yes we do. And that's an entirely different perspective .....

Kayaking The Imperial River With SoWeFlo Life

Some time ago I pitched some ideas for a new marketing project, SoWeFlo Life, being tested by my brokerage, John R. Wood Properties. SoWeFlo Life focuses on the Southwest Florida lifestyle and the passions of John R. Wood Properties agents. Unlike most real estate shows, this one is not about property. It is about the things we JRW agents love about living on the Paradise Coast.

For my segment, I hit on two ideas, one about history of the area (as I am a history buff); the second idea being all the very cool places to go kayaking in Southwest Florida USA. I have already explored a LOT of them.

While I am based in Naples, my Grup + Associates Coastal Properties team is based in Bonita Springs, Florida. So I suggested we paddle the Imperial River in Bonita. And I am pleased, and very honored, to announce it is a winner!

We met shortly before 7 am one morning last week. Larry Kain producer of SoWeFlo Life, John Paeno and Aaron Thomas, co-owners of CGT Kayaks and Paddleboards, and I set out at sunrise to explore this black-water river and see what kind of wildlife was up and about. We saw great blue herons, turtles, cormorants, woodpeckers, and more. More importantly, we showcased a great place to kayak in SWFL.

What a great morning, and I'm very pleased with the online segment Larry Produced. No matter where you paddle, may your day be one filled with exploration of new areas, seeing new wildlife, and generally getting away for just a little bit from the mayhem of work and everyday life.

Living in Southwest Florida is a lifestyle move for many. I work every day, sometimes seven days a week during our busy winter real estate season. As we often say here, "I live where you vacation." Even when I am working, I love showing off this area of the USA, and am thrilled to have been able to showcase a really great place to paddle.

Hopefully the response will be positive enough that John R. Wood Properties will ask me to host another paddling trip on a different waterway here in Southwest Florida!

Who Doesn't Like Florida Oranges?

But seriously, who doesn't like Florida Oranges?

We have a unique kind of Florida Orange here on the Paradise Coast of Southwest Florida. Its what we often see in the morning sky, particularly during the winter months when the rest of the USA is buried in a deep freeze of ice, snow and just plain cold.

This early morning capture is what is known as Naples Orange.

Think you'd like to experience morning after morning of Florida Oranges when the weather is cold elsewhere?  I can help ..... Call me. We'll find your slice of orange in our corner of Paradise.

2019

It's no mystery how the common dog differs from the wolf. The wolf never took the handout; he knew self reliance is the only way.

Those who fight over their earnings day in and day out have a different outlook on life than the masses. You see, when you're accustomed to the easy route, your mind loses its need for extreme focus and hunger.

Think about this:
When you want something, do you tend to let days slip by without taking action?
OR
It consumes you. Every waking minute the prize is on your mind. While you're eating, while you're on your daily commute, while you're at the gym, while you're lying down in the warmth of your bed....its looping in your mind. You sleep in less and less because all you care about is doing everything you can for your customers, and getting the most out of the next 24 hours.

Are you hungry? I am.
