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.

I completely remodeled the existing layout, creating an open layout and spaces that have an effortless flow, architectural details that are practical, yet sensual. Removing the wall between the bedroom and living area, I designed a gentle arching opening held by linen drapes, and a central double-sided fireplace with a media screen above. The vaulted ceiling was created with distressed rafters, specialty AV, and ethnic ceiling fans. The floors are custom, espresso-stained wide plank white oak by a local craftsman. I added sconce lighting on either side of the linen headboard, to accent the soft, soothing gray Benjamin Moore painted wall. The furnishings are a collection of found and refinished vintage pieces, Restoration Hardware, and custom designs. The bedding is a cool linen, in soothing greys and creams.

The Master Bathroom was completely redone with a new layout, to feature a modern sculptural soaking tub in front of a custom Indonesian teak screen to soften the intense southern exposure and add a contrasting background. I selected a brushed finish for the limestone flooring. The light fixtures were sourced from Morocco, and the electrical components were installed locally for code compliance. The custom-designed shelving units of either side of the tub create accessible niches for bathing supplies and ambiance.

Also in this bathroom, are his and her vanities, a steam shower with aromatherapy, and a private toilet room. Adjacent to the master bath, is a customized walk-in dressing suite. I removed a few walls in this closet to create an organized and Boutique mood for this shared room. This island was custom-designed to include locking jewelry drawers and pull out laundry hampers. I designed the open closet system was designed to organize the couple while creating an ambiance worthy of their taste.

The 141-square-mile island is the sixth largest in the Hawaiian chain. Billionaire David Murdock was the previous owner. He reportedly decided to sell after taking more than $18 million a year in losses on the island.

The purchase is for an undisclosed amount. It had been listed for $500 million.

Ellison was apparently in competition for the island; Microsoft founder Bill Gates was also interested in the property. He rented it back in 1994 for his wedding.

Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie says his office is excited about the purchase, citing Ellison's long standing interest in natural conservation and preservation of the oceans though his sailing pursuits.

Approximately 3000 people live on the island, and it's not yet clear to them exactly what Ellison's plans are for the land.
