If you’re looking to get close to the beach and have room to entertain friends and family in a resort-like setting, 110 Gulf Shore Boulevard North checks those boxes from front to back. Just one house from the beach, this 6,800-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom home is a lightly lived-in custom transitional that exudes the Naples lifestyle.

From its stunning chef-grade kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances that opens directly onto the great room, to its multiple living areas, guest quarters, and expansive pool complex, this is a home that makes you feel as though you are on vacation every day, and yet completely at home. Designed and built by Viv Homes, the real magic is in the details. Warm oak flooring throughout contrasts beautifully against the crisp white paneled walls of its center staircase off the home’s entryway, with ceilings that soar approximately 20-feet high. Glass railings keep the look light, bright and airy.

“What’s amazing about this property is how welcoming it is,” says listing agent and concierge broker Dante DiSabato of William Raveis Real Estate. “You immediately feel at home and yet everything lives like brand new.”

The two-story home, which lists for $12.995 million, was completed at the end of 2020. Details in the kitchen, such as a stunning marble island surface to a soft gray and white checkered quartzite backsplash working off custom cabinetry under a wood detail ceiling, feel personable and inviting. Of course, added amenities such as a walk-in pantry and built-in Miele coffee bar don’t hurt either. The family room, with folding glass doors that allow direct access to the pool area, features a raw beam ceiling and a fireplace feature wall opposite a light blue and white wallpaper that seems to bring the blue skies inside.

And speaking of the outdoors, the home comes with a stunning pool area replete with a spa, sun shelf, outdoor kitchen, dining area, living area with fireplace and TV, fire pit, and lounge. No matter the number of guests, they’ll have plenty of options.

“It’s amazing just how much this property feels like a resort,” adds DiSabato. “And the fact that you can just walk across the street to the beach is a spectacular bonus.”

But inside is where most of the magic takes place. Multiple living areas capitalize on views of the pool and outdoor living spaces and feature soaring ceilings with exceptional lighting fixtures, multiple fireplaces, and spectacular architectural accents. The property includes a second balcony, dining room with wine cellar, elevator, and a three-and-a-half car garage and was designed for the most discerning buyer. Beach access is directly across the street and the residence is within a short distance to Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South.

For more information on 110 Gulf Shore Boulevard North, call Dante DiSabato at 239.537.5351 or email him at Dante.DiSabato@raveis.com To see more of this home and other properties, please visit DanteDiSabato.com

Anne Perry, Honolulu, HI: "Develop strong and current database, constant growth, strong market knowledge and leave your ego at the door."

Brian Pearl of the Pearl Antonacci Group, Boca Raton, FL: "Join a team where you receive leads, work and close them, and you'll establish yourself organically by being in the field learning the business."

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "It's a 24-hour a day commitment."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "You have to figure out what makes you different in the market vs. everyone else. Everyone should have an edge."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Be prepared to spend six months in business development and getting set up for business."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "This is hard work. You have to be disciplined, approachable, and determined to protect your clients' interests throughout each stage of the transaction. You are assisting them with a large financial decision."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Zoom and webinars is a new way of life. LinkedIn is offering ways to connect with like-minded real estate professionals as well as LinkedIn groups.

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Project events are an excellent way to learn about the project itself and meet new faces in the industry."

Maggie Gold Seelig, Boston, MA: "Find the nicest and smarter person from whom to learn the business, as real estate is an apprenticeship profession."

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "Don't enter this business thinking this is easy money but at the same know that it takes a lot of time and money to become established in order to have a lasting career."

Toni Itkin, Sandy Springs, GA: "Join a brokerage that provides the best training and technology- not the one the gives the highest commission split! Know that this is a full-time business, not a part-time job or a hobby. Then, network, network, network!"

The Naples' real estate market is currently on fire. What are some signature sales that have people talking?

There have been 5 Beach Lot/ homes that have sold in the past 2 months. Usually, Naples only sells 1-2 per year on the beach but this year we have more and more selling. 670 Gulf Shore Blvd sold, which was the highest price per sq. ft .and price per linear ft. on the beach ever in Naples. The market is something I have never seen before and we are lucky to be here during this time.

There's also a lot of exciting things happening in Naples that make it an even better place to live. What are some of the new things that you're excited about?

The new Ferrari Dealership is something new in Naples as well as the announcement of the New Beach Club that is going to turn into a new Beach Hotel and Condos. There also is the start of construction of the Olde Naples Hotel downtown and the announcement we are getting another Cameron Mitchell Restaurant Del Mar.

As the pandemic continues to cause problems across the globe, how is Naples handling the emergency?

Naples Life has changed but for the better. We are being very careful however, most businesses are open and thriving with our Peak Season upon us. We are busier than ever and restaurants, bars, and events are full. We have world-class medical facilities and we had a very low count of hospitalizations and deaths in Collier County

In such a hot market, what advice are you giving your buyers in order to prepare them for the challenge?

I, unfortunately, have to advise my buyers to buy it right away and offer close to ask if not ask [price] if they want it. There is such a lack of inventory and a huge demand in our market right now that there are multiple buyers for every property. Also to not be disappointed if we lose out on one there will be another shortly.

Are you seeing buyers looking primarily for new construction right now or are they more open to existing/pre-owned properties?

They are looking for anything they can get currently. New construction will go right away. I am showing a property that is on Slab right now and would be surprised if I got through the season with it not Sold.

Members of the Haute Residence Network share their insight into the benefits of having a real estate professional handle your home's sale instead of doing a "For sale by owner" on your own.

"Homeowners benefit from using a Realtor because they will ultimately make more money and have a less stressful transaction. Realtors bring to the table years of experience in determining the right asking price, marketing the property for maximum exposure, negotiating the contract, and avoiding contract pitfalls." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"Do you tell your doctor what your diagnosis is and how to treat yourself? No. So why would you think real estate is any different? You need expertise!" - Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL.

"Negotiations, marketing, paperwork... it's a full-time job, and you already have one. Great agents earn their keep and then some." - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

"An experienced real estate agent like a physician or lawyer helps a homeowner navigate challenges and obstacles in the home selling process." - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

"Access to the MLS, knowledgeable about market pricing and will have an accurate and unbiased listing price of your property. A full understanding of the entire real estate transaction from negotiating offers, verifying a buyer's creditworthiness, negotiating the physical inspection, overseeing the timeframes, monitoring the title and approval processes to ultimately bring all parties to a successful closing.  Nationwide statistics show that, with a realtor, you net 15% more than without one. Don’t sell yourself short." - Connie Huergo, Palm Beach Coast/Palm Beach Islands, FL.

"A skilled real estate agent has access to a far greater reach to market the property not just to consumers but to the other essential customer— other real estate agents who represent buyers looking at your property." - Robin Kencel, Greenwich, CT.

"Serious buyers of luxury homes overwhelmingly choose to work with a professional when buying a home. These qualified buyers look for homes that are listed with licensed professionals.” - Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

"Seasoned career realtors have the expertise, network connections, marketing avenues, and experience of obtaining the highest and best prices for one of their largest investments - their home." - Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina.

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.” - Mark Salmon in South Tahoe, CA, quoted Red Adair, American Oil Well Firefighter.

"I think the seller nets more money many times by hiring a listing agent; it's good business." - Michael Stanco, North Shore, Long Island, NY.

Dante DiSabato presents

Concierge brokers Dante DiSabato and Frank Sajtar of William Raveis Real Estate are proud to present 3320 Rum Row. If you love stately transitionals designed to both aesthetically and physically stand the test of time, you must see this Port Royal masterpiece. The brand new single-family residence, created by Limitless Development, is everything you could ask for in Southwest Florida’s most exclusive community.

Drawn by Kukk Design & Architecture, built by A. Vernon Allen Builders and designed by Lisa Kahn Designs, the 7,019-square-foot, five bedroom (plus den and loft), eight (5/3) bath home is nestled on .48 acre and features 112 feet of water frontage, placing you just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. It is the epitome of the Naples indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

The two-story home is a veritable master class in style and quality thanks to design touches that combine the glamour of Old Hollywood with the craftsmanship of a Newport, R.I., estate. From its powerful front elevation featuring four fountains bookending a luxurious motor court, to its resort-like outdoor living spaces (featuring a sunken fire pit lounge in the pool), the property was created for those who appreciate the best in life. Just walking from the gorgeous great room with gray quartzite media wall (featuring a 72-inch linear fireplace) into its custom dining room with handcrafted and backlit wine wall, it’s easy to see the spaces were thoughtfully created for a discerning owner.

Exquisite multi-tone wood flooring throughout sets the stage beneath 11-foot ceilings. Its chef-grade kitchen features a large island finished in a heritage blue hue with a butcher-block surface, while the main counter surfaces are light quartzite set against crisp white cabinetry. Behind the scenes, an expansive butler’s pantry holds all the tools you need for successful entertaining: dishwasher, sinks, wine refrigeration, icemaker, microwave, steam oven, warming drawer, and extensive storage. It conveniently opens onto the outdoor kitchen and bar area. A large first floor master suite offers dazzling views of the pool and waterway and features a walk-in steam shower with two built-in quartz benches.

“The home also features a full pool bath, two full-sized laundry rooms (one on each floor), an elevator, a second floor club room (with wet bar) and even an upstairs powder bath,” says Dante DiSabato, a partner in Limitless Development with his father, Mark DiSabato.

“It’s really perfect for families or a couple with grandkids who visit,” adds DiSabato. “With four bedrooms upstairs, plus the clubroom/loft, it gives you room to spread out. And even though it is 7,019 square feet, it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It’s still cozy. It’s classic. It’s rich. You feel the quality.”

In addition, the home features southwestern exposure, a five-car garage and qualifies for Port Royal Club membership.

Offered at $13.65M. This property is one of many listings that can be viewed in greater detail at DanteDiSabato.com and FrankSajtar.com. Dante DiSabato, a leader in the Naples market with more than $500 million in sales, is known for personalized customer service and tireless dedication before and after the sale.

The post A Must-See Masterpiece Home In Naples By Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

2020 didn't go as expected in any regards. But based on how 2020 ended, how is the Naples market shaping up for 2021?

The 2021 market is shaping up to blow 2020 out of the water. The start of it currently is moving at a pace that Naples has never seen. There is a lack of inventory and the buyers don’t stop coming. We are very lucky to be in this position right now.

Photo Credit: Matt Steeves Photography

What are clients currently asking for in Naples?

I am getting a little bit of everything from condo, to villa, to single-family. I would say the majority is a single-family buyer as people want their own space. I would say a variety like the walkability to downtown or a country club community.

What's one new part of the market you've noticed in 2020 that you expect to continue and expand into 2021?

The amount of buyers that we have right now is unreal. It doesn’t seem to stop and I believe it will continue.

You’ve mentioned that inventory is low, how does that impact the market and how do you guide clients in order to make the right decisions?

Inventory IS at an ALL TIME LOW right now. It makes the market a true seller's market and a challenge for the normal Naples buyer that isn’t used to bidding wars, losing properties or paying close to asking pice. I have warned my clients to be ready willing and able to pull the trigger if something comes up that they want or else it will be gone.

Photo Credit: Matt Steeves Photography

What’s happening in Naples that keeps it so popular?

I would say No. 1 is its location and accessibility. Its amenities (i.e. shopping, dining, golf courses, sandy beaches, and entertainment) make it a place that is unlike any other. It is also what I call a very safe, small and quaint growing beach town with $65 million properties!

As a developer as well as a Realtor, are your new homes changing in order to adapt to the change in lifestyles?

Yes, they are. I keep trying to continue to be original and bring product that Naples has never seen before vs. the same old stuff. It is tougher and harder but worth it in the end to create something special.

"I am very excited about the 2021 market in Naples. It looks to be off to a fast start just based on the activity in December. We have such a lack of inventory in Naples and we are just at the start of the season. I can only imagine what will come." - Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL.

"In 2021 we will continue to see a record number of people move to our area as their primary residence as they are seeking out areas and climates that give them the ability to have a lifestyle, they want in the new Covid world we live in.  The ability for people to work from home has created a shift that will make our area one of the most desired due to climate, various outdoor activities, less populated, and of course, the unique and beautiful beaches that our area offers.

The second home market will continue to thrive as buyers are seeking an option for their family to come for school, Work, etc. now that the ability to do school and work is a virtual option.  Also, with the migration of buyers from cities like Chicago, St Louis, New York to Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, we will see a new group of buyers seeking a beach home as they will now be within driving distance of their primary home.

The luxury investment product will continue to be in demand due to low-interest rates and what is considered a tangible asset." Hilary Farnum-Fasth, Broker & Owner, Corcoran Reverie, Scenic 30A area, FL.

"The market seems to keep getting better and better. People are leaving congested cities such as New York and Chicago for areas like SWFL where they will enjoy a resort-like living environment. Many companies have allowed their employees to work remotely, indefinitely. If you live in Bonita Springs, you can take your lunch hour on the beach every day. How can that be beat?" - Angela Lutzi Dellatorè, The Dellatorè Real Estate Group, Bonita Springs/Barefoot Beach/Bonita Beach, FL

"The 2021 Sarasota real estate market will continue the trends from the latter half of 2020, demand outstripping the supply of available properties. Population growth driven by migration from high tax states, the new ability to work remotely, excellent schools, and fantastic weather are the underlying dynamics. Comparative value is also a factor. The Sarasota market is getting benchmarked against other Florida markets where prices are higher. The long and the short, the Sarasota market will continue to be strong only limited by the supply of properties." - Joel Schemmel, Sarasota, FL.

"Inventory for luxury listings is at an all-time low in the Tampa Bay area. Homes that are priced well are selling very quickly. If homes are overpriced, they will stay on the market for an extended period of time and often sell at a lower price than if they were priced correctly from the beginning. Since the onset of the pandemic, many buyers are trading up to larger hones and will continue to do so in the new year in order to accommodate working from home (and in some cases schooling from home). With the number of people leaving high tax states such as New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and most recently California, we will continue to see an influx of buyers coming to the Tampa Bay market well into next year." - Jennifer Zales, Tampa, FL

How did the real estate market look in the beginning of 2020?

At the beginning of 2020, the market was looking to be one of our best years ever in real estate. It was moving at a slightly faster pace than a normal season does. I would say it was a buyer's and seller's market pretty evenly across the board.

Photo Credit: Matt Steeves Photography

What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

The pandemic caused prices to increase and turn our market into a sellers market. Due to being in Florida and Naples, our inventory fell drastically with everyone wanting to get out of the Northern markets and come down to Florida or at least have an escape plan if needed. I have never seen this market move this fast and we are blessed and lucky to be in this position.

Professionally, what have you learned in 2020 about yourself?

I have learned to stay humble and breathe! There are highs and lows in this business and 2020 had a lot of them. Going from a great start to a complete pause in the market to now moving at a pace that not many can keep up. It is fun and I have to continue to be thankful and work hard because it might not always be like this.

The post A Renovated Home In Naples South By Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

How do you suggest people learn about neighborhoods or specific areas when they consider moving to Naples?

I always recommend they contact an agent to educate them on the market and the surrounding areas. When they get to a certain club, I always recommend they meet with the membership directors to get a tour of the property since they know more about the club than an agent. It all depends on the lifestyle people are looking for and Naples has many different areas to choose from that fits most of those lifestyles.

Photo Credit: Matt Steeves Photography

Country club living is part of the Naples lifestyle. Are there certain positives and negatives that new buyers should be aware of?

I would make sure that new buyers are aware of the location of the developments. Most country clubs are away from the action and self isolated, so it just depends on the lifestyle someone is looking for. If they want to be active at the club and stay there then it is a positive, however if you want to “venture off campus” you’ll want to make sure that the club is in a good location in Naples to where you want to go.

When buyers are torn between new construction and buying a home that needs renovation, do you have any tips or formulas that might help them make a decision?

I always stress new construction which has warranty, built to current codes and most of the time easier than a rehab property to my customers. However they might be able to get a better “deal” on a rehab but have to make sure that it is inspected thoroughly so they don’t run into any unexpected issues down the road. I also have great contacts in the building market here to help assist people making the rehab process fun and easy.

You've become known for building in Olde Naples and the famed Port Royal neighborhoods. What separates/differentiates those areas from the rest of Naples?

Olde Naples and Port Royal has become some of the most expensive real estate in the country in the last couple of years. We have been very fortunate to be competing every day in this market. The reason for Olde Naples to be such a high value is the walkability to the beach and downtown. The reason for Port Royal is the estate like features with boating and the club access just south of Downtown. Usually anything West of 41 and South will command a high price.

Is there another area of Naples that is trending or seeing a lot of growth?

Currently we are having a very fun market. I want everyone to get in on that fun! We have a lack of inventory everywhere and there really isn’t an area that separates itself from another setting a trend. I would say all of Naples is setting a trend with less than 4 months inventory available and prices increasing. Again we are lucky to be in our current market and will continue to see this increase for years to come.

Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

I still can’t even begin to try to comprehend 2020! Over these last six months the market went from a dead pause in April to the least amount of inventory Naples has ever had. This market is hotter than it's ever been. The takeaways are that we are very blessed and thankful to be in Naples, Florida.

What activities can be done around Naples this year?

Anything from boating, golfing, tennis to cooking out was all available. We actually just relaxed in the morning at our pool while I still had showings in the afternoon. The beauty of this area is that you can do multiple activities any day you like!

Is there an area from which buyers are relocating to your market?

I read an article the other day stating that there are more than 1000 people a day moving to Florida. I can feel that move from the North. We are still getting the majority of people from the midwest but starting to get more and more people from the Northeast. It makes sense when you consider that winter is fast approaching and people are worries about being stuck inside until Spring.

How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year? 

Our market has drastically changed from last year to this year. While last year was a good and steady market, we are moving at a pace faster than I have ever seen and we have less than four months inventory in all of Naples.

Do you find a lot of people moving to Naples this time of year?

It has been a strange summer because we have been very busy with real estate in Naples. We have had, by far, our busiest summer ever and don’t see a stop in sight based on the market trends.

Photo Credit: Matt Steeves Photography

Are there any new areas in your market where you have seen a lot of growth?

There isn’t a specific physical area, but just in general there’s been more growth throughout Naples. And, in fact, more and more people are becoming year-round versus seasonal.

What amenities are buyers requesting more this time of year in their new homes?

The biggest amenity that people are looking for is outdoor living areas featuring yards and pools. These are very important to people in these unprecedented times. In case there is another lockdown or outbreak people want to be able to have “space” at their own homes.

How are you spending the end of the summer?

Working! I wish I could travel a little, however, things are so busy I will take them while we can. We are very lucky and blessed to be in this position currently.

How have the last two months of pandemic affected your area and its real estate market?

It has actually helped our real estate market. There is a lack of inventory and more and more people from up north are moving down to Naples. We are very lucky and have had one of our greatest summers ever. Naples has always been a prime destination, and the pandemic has just made it even more desirable.

What do you ask clients to not have displayed when showing their home for sale?

I think it all depends. I don’t like selling a stark house. It needs to feel like a home and you need some photos/artwork/some personal stuff to show a buyer that they could live there. I have seen so many amazing properties that you don’t even want to sit down in and would feel uncomfortable. I always say, “Anything can look good, but can you live there?”

How did the second quarter of 2020 real estate perform in (your market)?

The 2nd quarter was very interesting. You would think that it was slow with everything going on. However, we had a lot of sales towards the end of the 2nd quarter. There was a huge amount of pent up demand during the lockdown and once we started opening up the buyers and sellers started making deals!

Is it currently a buyer or seller’s market in (your market)?

I would say it is a little bit of both. You have some people concerned with the economy and the state of our country who want to sell and then you have some that want to buy for any reason whatsoever to get out of their state and get to Florida. It is a very strange market. However Naples as a whole is a strong market.

What do you love about the housing market in (your market)?

Our market is very insulated currently from other markets and we are very lucky to be where we are. There is a lack of inventory and the market is continuing to rise. Plus, we have a little bit of everything: waterfront estates, golf course single-family residences, hi-rise condos, beachfront cottages. There’s really something for every buyer.

What has been the average take away from your clients on how they want to proceed during the virus? Are they putting searches or sales on hold?

This unfortunate pandemic has taken a toll on everyone and certainly everyone handles it differently. Our market in Naples was at a standstill from March 15^th through May 1^st. Basically nothing came on the market and nothing went off the market on the high-end side of things. However, since the beginning of May there has been a huge upswing in the market with properties and lots flying off the shelves. There is a low inventory and high demand for Naples, Florida.

How are you advertising to potential clients who are looking for properties during this period? Is there a change in negotiating techniques?

I have been doing a lot of online and direct mail advertising, in order to reach customers in their homes during the stay-at-home orders. However, I was not too concerned about advertising and more concerned about the health and well-being of my past, present, and future customers. There is not really a new change in negotiation techniques and I will not use the pandemic as an excuse. There is just more uncertainty of what the future holds.

Have you noticed any trends or movements from buyers since self-isolation began? Are people looking for new specifics in luxury properties? 

Most of the trends are moving towards larger condos or single-family homes. Most buyers want their own space now, presumably thinking that if they ever have to go back into self-isolation they’ll have all the space they need.

Because the Naples market tends to be seasonal, are buyers and sellers handling the lockdown differently than they might in non-seasonal communities?

Yes, most people are still here and most people are coming down during the Summer to look to buy for the Fall. I feel a strong push is coming this Summer and Fall sales-wise. Of course, it all depends on if the country is opened back up for people to travel here. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to be in sunny Florida?

As a developer as well as a Realtor, has the potential economic impacts of the virus changed your immediate or mid-range business plans?

There are a lot of unknowns right now. We have planned, prepared, and learned from the past to be able to modify or strengthen our business plans in these times. And there are many challenges ahead. However, due to the current market conditions and the lack of inventory, we do not see this as a short-term issue. I always say, 'don’t let a short term challenge get in the way of your long-term goals.'

The post An Exceptional Naples Residence By Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

A concierge broker in the truest sense of the term, Dante DiSabato works tirelessly to ensure his clients’ satisfaction, bringing discipline and competitive spirit to real estate that’s perfectly in tune with getting the best for his customers. Over the course of his career specializing in the Naples, Florida, luxury market, he’s helped his clients buy and sell more than $250M in real estate, providing him with the keen experience of navigating a large volume of transactions. Haute Residence caught up with DiSabato to discuss the real estate market in Naples and how he's using technology to maintain business with his clients.

With people being cautious about being around large crowds, What tips do you have for agents and brokers looking to still do showings?

I still have been somewhat pretty busy still with everything going on. However, I would say that during showings I have been opening doors, distancing myself from the customers and other agents but still engaging verbally during a showing. Open houses I have a bottle of hand sanitizer of someone feels uncomfortable but also encourages people to come out and see properties.

How have you been using technology to still communicate with your clients?

Photo Credit: Mark Male

Yes, I have been using every method I can think of including, calling, text messages, video conference and email. Technology has been a huge part of my business for a long time, and so work can still continue to happen even during this current situation.

What advice do you have for sellers who are worried about their homes being sold in a timely manner?

I have been trying to calm my customers and the entire deal on both sides. Let’s get everyone a win-win and make sure that they all understand what is going on and the long-term goal that could be inhibited by a short term challenge. We will all get through this and carry on. And the one thing people are learning right now is just how important a home is in times like these.

Do you have exciting listings coming up?

I just got a new listing in Naples Square. The penthouse unit #510 arguably the best unit in the building. Listed for $1,895,000 in Building 3d this 3 bed + Den, 3.5 bath unit offers more than 2800 sq ft. of living space with southern exposure. This is a truly beautiful unit. That, along with about $50 million more in listings has me very optimistic about the year.

Is there a new development in Naples that residents are loving?

There are a couple of new developments people are loving such as Kalea Bay, Quattro at Naples Square and Eleven Eleven. Each one is elevating what we’ve already come to expect from the Naples lifestyle. They’re absolutely gorgeous.

The post How Dante DiSabato Is Using Technology To Maintain Business appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The custom home was drawn by Kukk Architecture and Design and crafted by A. Vernon Allen Builders, while interior design work was handled by Lisa Kahn Designs with furnishings from Clive Daniel Home. The final result is a dramatic masterwork in transitional coastal. With exquisite finishes, soaring ceilings, resort-like amenities and a chef-grade kitchen (with two waterfall islands), the home is as ideal for entertaining as it is for getting away from it all.

Crossing a breathtaking water feature and arriving at the commanding mahogany and glass doors, you enter into an inviting world unlike any other. Once inside, beyond the towering foyer, you’re led to a massive great room grounded in warm Legno Bastone European oak, which seamlessly opens onto the expansive outdoor living area featuring all the accouterments of resort living, such as an outdoor kitchen and a gorgeous pool and spa area with fire pit and lounge. The single-story home is fully automated and amazingly efficient, making it one of the most livable and practical properties in Port Royal. It even has garage space for four cars. Best of all, the quality is obvious at every turn — and wrapped in a package you’ll never want to leave. Yes, this home is an absolute oasis.

How has the luxury real estate market in Naples been performing so far in 2020?

The luxury market currently has been performing at a high level. We have seen more than 10 sales already over $5 million close in the first two months. And March looks to keep that success going.

What are buyers looking for in their homes in Naples in 2020?

Buyers are looking for new properties that are in great locations and finished. Most buyers here do not want to do updates. Location is key, but right now there is a lack of inventory in our market.

Which has been a highlight sale for you so far in 2020?

333 Gulf Shore Blvd South sold for $8.9 million the second-highest sale so far in Naples this year per the MLS. It was a stunning — and new — 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath contemporary built by Limitless Development that was just 2 houses from the beach.

Are there any new restaurants or other spots in Naples you’ve been loving lately?

There is the London Club and The Club Room by Campiellos that just opened up. They both are nice spots for drinks and live entertainment. Both have been getting a lot of buzz lately.

It’s time for spring break. What is a fun activity in Naples?

There are a great number of activities to do in Southwest Florida. There is golf, boating, the beach, farmers markets, but I would say the best activity right now is to go to the Twins or Red Sox Spring Training games at CenturyLink Sports Complex and Jet Blue Ball Park (respectively). People come from all over North America to sample Spring Training and we have some of the best teams right here.

The post Dante DiSabato On How Naples’ Real Estate Is Performing So Far In 2020 appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

If you’ve ever dreamed about living in a home that checks off all the boxes, Realtor Dante DiSabato of William Raveis Real Estate suggests you consider the newly listed 2422 Indian Pipe Way, located in Grey Oaks. With gorgeous views and stunning inside spaces, this exceptional estate has recently experienced a full renovation to exacting standards and is move-in ready for anyone looking to jumpstart the good life.

Featuring expansive lake and golf course views, the home is an experiential tour-de-force thanks to exquisite attention to detail and masterful indoor/outdoor living areas. With southern exposure, the nearly one-acre lot (almost unheard of in Grey Oaks) is highlighted by exceptional landscaping, surrounding a resort-worthy space that includes two swimming pools and a spa offering legendary Naples sunsets.

Inside, guests are welcomed through a two-story foyer replete with a custom staircase that immediately commands attention. The great room is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace and is bathed in natural light, thanks to French doors, which lead to the outdoor terrace. Meanwhile, the chef-worthy kitchen shines as the heart of the home with gourmet appliances, custom cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, center island with vegetable sink, traditional pantry, two refrigerators, and two dishwashers. A glass-enclosed circular breakfast room with custom ceiling detail overlooks the pool and its amazing views. The master suite features spectacular closet space, as well as his and her bathrooms, and a wet bar. That’s right, a wet bar in the master suite. In addition, the residence includes custom-designed wine storage, two stone fireplaces, a summer kitchen with a gas grill, a wet bar off the living room, custom elevator, and 65kw full-house generator. Beautiful marble flooring and a new Savant lighting system are just a few of the items of note. There are even four attached air-conditioned garages.

This is an oasis that feels a world away while being close to all of the reasons people choose to live in Naples. The award-winning Grey Oaks Country Club is located close to world-class dining, shopping, entertainment and Olde Naples beaches. The club recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation, which included a new lagoon beach-style pool, an indoor/outdoor restaurant, tennis center, golf facility and state-of-the-art wellness center.

A concierge broker in the truest sense of the term, Dante DiSabato works tirelessly to ensure his clients’ satisfaction, bringing discipline and competitive spirit to real estate that’s perfectly in tune with getting the best for his customers. Over the course of his career specializing in the Naples, Florida, luxury market, he’s helped his clients buy and sell more than $250M in real estate, providing him with the keen experience of navigating a large volume of transactions. Haute Residence caught up with DiSabato to discuss buying land and what to look for if you are buying land to build new construction on.

Where should someone start searching if they are interested in buying land?

I think it all depends on your price point, but if I was advising a client in Naples, Fla., I would look west of 41 and south of Seagate Drive —what is called Olde Naples. This is some of the most expensive real estate in the country and values continue to increase year after year here. I encourage these areas due to long-term value.

Is it harder to buy land that has a home or structure on it already?

No. There are teardowns all the time. In fact, Naples saw a Gulf-front home sell for $48+ million last summer only for the new owner to tear it down a few weeks later in order to build their dream home. The only difference is that it could add a small window of time to demolish the preexisting home.

If a person is starting from scratch, what should they do first before hiring a team to build their dream property or home?

They should hire an architect to do a lot of study to make sure they can put the home they want on the property. Zoning changes. Regulations change. Restrictions change. Buyers need to be certain that they can create their vision on the property.

Is there something to be cautious about for a first-time land buyer?

Make sure that the setbacks are correct, your building envelope is correct and you have the right exposure you are looking for on your property. You should also review the elevation to make sure you understand the height of your first finished floor will be.

What is the typical acreage for land right now if someone is looking to buy right now?

In this area we’re typically looking at around .43 acres in size. That allows you enough space to create a nice size home surrounded by lush landscaping. But, obviously, people can go bigger or smaller depending on their needs and budget.

The post Dante DiSabato Presents A Bright Naples Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

“The Naples Lifestyle” is a term that residents and visitors of Southwest Florida hear a lot about. But what exactly is it that makes this area a magnet for some of the world’s wealthiest people? And can the “lifestyle” be attainable to everyone? We talked with one of Naples’ top-producing Realtors, Dante DiSabato, to find out what makes Naples so special.

We hear a lot about the Naples lifestyle. How do you describe it?

The Naples lifestyle is priceless. There are so many things to do here. Currently, I’m looking outside and it is 75 degrees not a cloud in the sky and it’s two days before Thanksgiving. What more could someone want? On top of that, we have world-class golf courses, clubs, restaurants, dining, shopping, entertainment, and beaches. There truly isn’t a place that I have been that has incorporated all of these factors—and I travel a lot.

The demographics of Naples seem to be skewing younger every year. What do you attribute that to?

I feel that I am either getting older or yes, there are more and more younger people attracted to Naples. There is more of a nightlife that appeals to both the younger and older crowds, and I would say Naples will continue to grow with more and more restaurants and bars opening to attract a younger late-night crowd. It is also very safe and clean and more people want to be here for that over other places in Florida. It really is a great place to raise a family.

Can you talk a bit about the outdoor activities that people can experience in the area?

Where do I begin? First and foremost, we have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We also have amazing golf, numerous tennis clubs and public courts, great biking, boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. There is an activity for anyone and everyone. And does shopping count? We have some spectacular outdoor shopping centers with world-class stores. There’s a reason Naples has been named America’s Happiest and Healthiest City four years in a row!

What are the options in the area for golf lovers?

We are considered the Golf Capital of the World thanks to the fact that we have more golf holes per capita than anywhere else. And though we don’t have a lot of public courses, there is probably a private country club within half a mile of everywhere in Naples. The Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club is public, and there is also Raptor Bay that is also public just North of Naples. However, if you come to Naples hit me up and I’ll take you out!

In Old Naples specifically, what are the type of properties available and what is the price range for options?

Our Market Report just came out and inventory went down tremendously and increased pending sales went up by 24%. Our season is right around the corner and it has already started heating up. Old Naples specifically has about 60 homes for sale currently and about 70 condos listed. That is low for our inventory coming into the season. Price points range for single-families start at around $1.5 million and head up to about $10 million. Condos Are $300,000 and up.

A beautifully-outfitted chef-grade kitchen features a Wolf gas range, multiple refrigeration units and ovens, a dishwasher, and icemaker, all complemented by a full butler’s pantry. And the home’s custom wood-wrapped bar is a thing of beauty sure to delight guests interested in a beverage or just a seat with one of Naples’ best views.

Speaking of which, its inviting and expansive open lanai (with glass railings) makes sunsets feel close enough to touch. While the large master suite (with separate sitting area) looks westward out over the Gulf of Mexico, the unit also includes two en-suite guest bedrooms, a hidden fourth bedroom (which acts as a bunk room), a powder room, as well as formal and informal living rooms.

This residence features exquisite finishes and is one of the only units for sale in the building. And to make the good life even better, when you’re not spending time inside this spectacular space, Moraya Bay’s two pools, restaurant, gym, beach and poolside service, and full-time manned security and concierge services, make you feel as though you’re at a 5-star resort.

Haute Residence caught up with DiSabato to discuss Naples in the summertime and the best places to visit this time of year in Naples:

Are there many tourists in Naples this time of year?

Yes. It might come as a surprise to some, but Naples has been very busy this summer and seems to get a little busier every summer. It is hot everywhere so I feel that people want to travel where there is a beautiful breeze. We’ve also been very busy this summer with sales. Our June activity was up since last year and many buyers are coming down to check out what’s available.

What are some activities that happen in Naples this time of year?

I can’t say that there are any specific summertime activities in Naples. Everything you can do here during season (golf, tennis, fine dining, shopping, boating, etc.) can be done in the summer, but with much less congestion! It’s actually a terrific time to be here — assuming you don’t mind a little afternoon shower to cool things off.

What are some great restaurants or outdoor activities you enjoy hanging out at during the Summer?

Gumbo Limbo, Turtle Club, Baleens are all great restaurants during the summer. Easy access with less people here and you pick up a Gulf breeze while eating and it is actually quite pleasant. Activity wise, if you get an early tee time, golf is still up at the top of my list, however some will like the beach due to the cooling breeze.

Is Summer your favorite time of year in Naples?

Summer is a great time of the year in Naples. We are still busy with people looking for property and it is not as congested as it can be during season. We are finally getting year-round buyers and sellers, so our market continues to increases over the summer without having to deal with the “lookers” of season.

Is Summer your favorite season in Naples?

It is not my personal favorite time, but one of my favorites due to the ability to get work done without fighting the crowds. The secret is out on Naples. Everyone wants to be here during season. My actual favorite time is the fall. Great weather, people start to slowly come back in, and you can still get a reservation!

Haute Residence caught up with DiSabato to discuss what he loves most about Naples this time of year and what makes Naples so unique:

What do you love most about your market this time of year?

That there are real buyers and sellers in this market during the summer! Also, the pricing is realistic and not over-inflated like it can be during the season. It is not crowded, we can take our time, and people have a genuine interest to make a deal.

Do you see many people moving to your market this time of year compared to other seasons?

You would think that there would not be many people moving to Naples during the summer, but year after year we get busier and busier during the summer months. We really are changing from seasonal buying time to year-round buying.

Is there an area in your market where buyers prefer to live? Why?

I prefer to live centrally in Naples so I can reach downtown, the beach, and North Naples all within a couple of minutes. The further west and south you get the more prices will increase. In Olde Naples, you get the best of all worlds.

What makes your market unique compared to other surrounding cities?

We were rated one of the highest priced markets in the country last year, but I would say we’re still a "resort town." We are quiet, classy and very unique compared to larger cities. We have great beaches, golf courses, entertainment, shopping, and world-class dining. Oh yeah and the weather isn't that bad either! And don’t forget we’ve been named the Happiest and Healthiest City in America for four years running!

Any tips on how people can better design their outdoor spaces for entertaining guests in the summer?

Summer is no joke in Southwest Florida. Get a trellis or large umbrella for some shade. We still are on the Gulf so there usually is a slight breeze, but the shade is key! After that, all you need is a chaise lounge and a cool cocktail and you’ve got the world by the tail!
