Flexible Buyer Services

Changes to real estate industry practices governing residential real estate buyers, and their representation by licensed real estate agents, were mandated on August 17, 2024. While many changes have now been implemented, there are two major changes that you need to be aware of as a potential Naples homebuyer:

1. The commission offered to the buyer’s broker/agent by the seller or seller’s broker/agent can no longer be advertised on the multiple listing service.

2. Buyers and real estate agents must enter into a legally binding representation agreement solidifying their relationship prior to working together. This contract must outline what services the agent will perform, what they will be paid for their services and more.

Considering these changes, potential homebuyers must evaluate real estate agents, the services they offer, what they charge and how they are compensated like never before. Buyers need to fully understand their options and carefully choose the best course for themselves.

If there is one post on this site that you will commit to reading in full we suggest it be that on buyer representation.

About Jeffrey Waldman, P.A.,
Realtor® and Owner, Naples Abodes

“You won’t go wrong with Jeff at your side!”

We met Jeff a few years ago when we were looking for an investment property in the Naples area. Jeff found a property for us. It has turned out to be a very good investment. 

Meeting Jeff was a fortunate occurrence for us as we were pretty ignorant about the real estate market in the area. We found Jeff to be very knowledgeable about properties in Naples and helped us to gain a better understanding of how properties are evaluated. He is also a very likeable and considerate person, generous with sharing his time and talent. We like him very much  and never hesitate to contact him when we need any real estate advice.  

You won’t go wrong with Jeff at your side!

“He is the best!”

Jeff knew that we had only one day to see properties in Naples, so he arranged for us to visit ten! With his expert guidance, we made our decision, and he took it from there. His knowledge, efficiency, accommodating nature and fine character made purchasing our home seamless. Over the past seven years we have remained friends and whenever we contact him, he responds within ten minutes. He recently sold a condo to our daughter and her family. We all can’t say enough good things about him. He is the best!

“We couldn’t have imagined a better experience.”

We were living in another state and looking to relocate to Naples when Jeff was recommended to us by a friend. We reached out and immediately felt at ease and in good hands. His extensive knowledge of the area helped us quickly zone in on a desired neighborhood. He traveled to properties of interest without delay, sharing video footage as well as a clear and honest assessment of pros and cons. Jeff exceeded expectations. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience.

Schedule Showings

A Buyer’s Representative or Buyer’s Agent is a licensed real estate professional who represents the buyer during the real estate buying process.

Within the State of Florida, buyers and real estate agents must work with one another under contract and via one of three legal relationships that are defined by statute. These two most used are Single Agent and Transaction Broker relationships respectively. Simply, your real estate agent will either represent your best interests only, having a fiduciary responsibility to you, or they will “represent” the transaction, serving your interests in highly limited fashion. The benefits of Single Agent representation to any buyer are numerous and strong.

Please read our post on buyer representation.

Buyer Representation

No. This stated, our fee is often paid either in part or full by the seller.

As of August 17, 2024, buyers must enter into legally binding agreements with their real estate agent. This agreement outlines the services the buyer’s agent will perform and what they will be compensated. Should a seller not agree to pay our fee in full, the buyer is responsible for the difference. It is listed as a debit on the closing statement and paid at the closing. Please see Buyer Representation for more on this important topic.

Additionally, please know that most brokerages charge a fee to both sellers and buyers with transactions through them. These are typically listed as “administrative” or “records keeping” fees and are presented via required paperwork from the hired brokerage/agent. We have seen these fees from $195 – $1,095 and most buyers do indeed end up incurring this cost. It is also listed as a debit and paid at the closing. Our brokerage, Premiere Plus Realty, Co., has a similar fee. We pay this fee on your behalf should we represent you.

We can assist you in finding and purchasing real estate throughout all of Collier County and Lee County. We have considerable knowledge of the areas that surround Naples and have helped customers buy within them.

2025 Naples Buyer’s Guide

Real estate is local. Zillow, the REALTOR® site and other national websites are not. National sites are designed for the masses. They attempt to be everything real estate to everyone with a real estate interest. Fundamentally, they are designed to attract potential buyers and sellers that real estate agents, lenders, title companies, lawyers and more then pay them for access to through various marketing and advertising programs. Helping buyers is not their primary interest.

Our sole focus is helping buyers find and purchase real estate in/around Naples, FL. This is our area of expertise and this site provides information aimed squarely at assisting you, the potential Naples home buyer. Furthermore, neither Zillow, the REALTOR® site, other national, regional or local real estate websites provide the proprietary, exclusive to Naples, FL online search tools and the Naples-focused educational material that we offer. Finally, we provide peerless quality of representation should you choose us to represent you.

Whether you intend on using a real estate agent you know already or are considering asking us to represent you, please feel free to continue to use this site. If it benefits you to use Naples Abodes we hope you will come back often, sign up for listing alerts, utilize our educational material and more.

If you are currently working with a real estate agent you have high confidence in, with local area expertise, being fully trustworthy and having considerable buyside transaction representation experience. If they are highly responsive to you. If you believe they have only your best interests at heart. If these things ring true with you we suggest you continue with that relationship. If not, we would be happy to help you locate and purchase the very best Naples home available for you.

We do not handle rentals.

Please know that somewhere between many to most landlords do not have exclusive agreements with rental agencies. In fact, there are not many rental agencies in the area. It’s a tough business and the better agents that handle rentals will typically only be interested in working with parties at the high end of the rent/month scale. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is. So how do you find a rental?

There are a small number of agencies you can contact, but most are going to be left to search for rentals online. With the advent of the online marketplace many landlords now advertise rentals via the internet. Chances are you will need to explore the online rental portals that they advertise on. If you want to rent you will also need to secure a rental well before “season” here. The rental market in SW Florida is always very, very strong. Many secure a rental a year in advance of their stay. Do not wait. Secure a rental now if you want to rent.

Some of our customers rent before buying. They want to “try Naples out” to determine if it is a good fit for them. If this is your plan, let’s talk. We will be happy to help you understand the area and decide on next potential steps should you have interest.

Absolutely. All you need to do is contact us. We are here to help and will always be happy to do so.

Do you have any questions? Would you like some assistance?
