The design firm has recently received praise for their continued growth and success and are currently shortlisted for the 2022 International Design & Architecture Awards.

Haute Design recently spoke to Jasmin Reese to discuss this special moment and what it all means to her.

Haute Design: How did your participation in the running for this award come about?

Jasmin Reese:

The Manager of the International Hotel and Property Awards and Senior Awards Coordinator reached out to me to see if I had any projects I would like to submit. There were several different categories to choose from and I selected Living Space in the Americas, Residential Project Value at 1-2.5Million and Luxury Space in Americas. We are shortlisted for all three.

Photo Credit: Michael Alan Kaskel

HD: What are the criteria for winning this award?

JR: Good Photography is key, my photographer, Michael Alan Kaskel, is simply amazing. The awards' voting process really sets them apart from other awards. Instead of a small judging panel of 10-20 professionals, they have an average of 70,000 industry professionals voting over the four-week period, taking 53 minutes to complete a vote. The coverage, scope and reach of this process is incredible. Objective, fair, a true competition with winners decided by the industry itself.

Design et al Magazine and The International Design & Architecture Awards have run this ceremony for the past 13 years to promote the global interior design & architecture industry and bring together the design elite of this industry for an international celebration of designers and architects. They are recognized as "one of the leading authorities in the global interior design and architecture industry” and “represent some of the world's leading design names."

HD: What does it mean to be recognized among the potential winners of these awards?

JR: Having your work shortlisted in these awards is believed to be "the pinnacle of recognition within the industry." Only the best of interior design and architecture can be shortlisted.

HD: To what would you credit this award the most?

JR: My team is amazing. They work really hard, and of course, my clients, who trusted me to do something bold in their home. I'm very happy for the level of trust they have given me!

Alex Zapirain, founder and Principal at his eponymous design firm, shared his initial experience in the design world and what he hopes to accomplish this year.

Haute Design: What is your first memory within the design industry?

Alex Zapirain: My very first memory within the design industry was life changing for me. It was actually a very challenging project in Miami. It was an ultra-modern and minimalist space and I believe it awoke my great passion for design. The experience definitely got me more into the design and architectural field and led me to explore and grow within the industry.

HD: What do you love most about your job?

AZ: I love the fact that I don't have to work a day in my life. My work is my life and I love to challenge myself with every project. Every day is a new learning experience which definitely requires teamwork.

Photo Credit: Alex Zapirain Designs

HD: To what do you attribute the success of your firm?

AZ: Definitely all the hard work and dedication contributed on behalf of every client. We do our best to deliver the quality of work each project deserves. Our team puts their souls and passion for architecture and design into every project.

HD: What do you believe is your strongest quality as a designer?

AZ: I would say I listen closely to every client's needs. Aside from my passion for design, I would say that practicality and functionality are key to me.

Photo Credit: Alex Zapirain Designs

HD: What is your goal for 2022?

AZ: Our goal will be to complete new and exciting projects which are already underway. I look forward to stepping outside of my comfort zone for some of these projects. It should be a pretty busy year ahead but full of excitement.

Jasmin Reese recently discussed her view on how to adequately use color in interior design projects and renovations.

Haute Design: How much does your artistic background influence your interior design?

Jasmin Reese: My artistic background definitely influences my interiors- from paintings, to vintage movies, books and travel. For instance, looking at vintage European train cars is a major inspiration for a custom closet on which we are currently working for a historic residence, and looking at images from the gym on the Titanic for a new gym with a whimsical scene, or looking at a Dutch still-life painting and using it to design an entire kitchen in moody hues but with rich finishes. It all starts with a Style Session where I pull images from a James Bond movie, or views from hotel lobbies that spark a conversation.

It is a genuine emotion/vibe that you can sense that we try to convey.

HD: With the rising trend of neutrals and minimalistic design, how do you show your clients that you can indeed have fun and use colors in your home?

JR: All-inclusive rooms are a lot of fun to incorporate even with a full house that is mainly white. Below, you can see a music room that is right off of the main entrance to the house - it is an encompassed room of green with kaleidoscopic wallpaper on the ceiling and the couple are both surgeons who find this music room calming and artful.

Another example is to elevate the mundane with a bold neon color, like this chartreuse laundry room:

Similarly, you can use color sparingly with just a bold gesture on the ceiling. If you cannot commit to bold moments, you can always accessorize like this styled dining room server:

Photo Credit: Michael Alan Kaskel

HD: Do certain colors play better for different areas of a home? For example, what hues or tones work best in bathrooms or kitchens?

JR: I don’t totally buy into certain colors only for certain rooms. In fact, I came across a blog once with my bedroom in red saying “what NOT to do” because it's “too aggressive of a color for a bedroom” when in reality, the client has house guests that adore this room, it is super cozy, and a lot of people have connected with the space.

I think color affects people differently - I painted my own kitchen cabinets blush, and then I have really modern black lighting, it’s a push-pull of traditional and modern, feminine and masculine that gives the space verve.

Photo Credit: Michael Alan Kaskel

HD: How much artwork is too much artwork inside someone's home?

JR: It really depends on the scale of someone’s home and the quality of the art. If they have high ceilings and beautiful pieces, you can pack them in Salon style, mixed with high quality furniture for a layered look. However, if you take the same space and put in terrible cheap prints it could look like a lifeless commercial space.

HD: Which area of the home have you realized clients are most willing to take a risk and really go for some daring artwork or bold colors?

JR: Interestingly enough, the powder room is the room in the house where your guests are completely alone. It’s a space they will definitely go and you can use any color, any style, ANYTHING and have it completely unrelated to the rest of the home. The monkey wallpaper below is sophisticated whimsy.

Or you can go a little more edgy. Basements can also be a fun theatrical space like this jungle-inspired basement:

Furthermore, you can take an old attic like this picture below, and convert it into a screening room:

Jasmin Reese, founder and Principal at Jasmin Reese Interiors, recently discussed her design philosophy with Haute Design.

Haute Design: You are based in Chicago but you do plenty of work for Naples and South Florida region. What would you say are the biggest differences in designing for either area? 

Jasmin Reese: For the most part, homes in Naples appear to be second or third homes, so the client is able to do something a bit more fun or perhaps something a bit out of their comfort zone that they would not have been able to do in previous occasions. This freedom to take design chances can translate into bold looks or finishes, furnishings that are more luxurious and beautiful, without the constant worry of "resale," or finishes getting "worn out" too fast.

Chicago is known for a neutral and gray palette generally but that would not describe my projects or my clients, for the most part. I try to introduce styles that would resonate with the client. My instinct is blending antiques with modern elements, dark elements mixed with light, feminine tones contrasting with masculine, high and low, as well as fully-encompassed rooms of color.

HD: Would you briefly explain your "Style Sessions" with clients at the beginning of each project?

JR: The process begins with a 15-minute discovery call to learn about general requirements. This is followed by a paid initial consultation within the space to establish the client's wish list. The next meeting is a fully-collaborative style session between me and the client. Throughout the meeting, we work together to establish principal design requirements, a budget and a general time table for the project. This is the most important meeting throughout the entire process and I make a point for all decision-makers to be present. Throughout the meeting we also establish a presentation date, which my team and I commit to arrive prepared with samples, floor plans and an itemized budget.

HD: How would you describe your design identity?

JR: As an artist, I am very passionate about our design projects and I strive to push the ideas as far as the client is willing to go. That said, I am also a business owner and I have to manage the team, client expectations, vendors, project completions, etc. So, my identity has to balance between the left and right side of the brain at all times.

HD: To what do you attribute the success of Jasmin Reese Interiors? 

JR: Right away, I think of my mother, who went from having a tiny shop in a terrible parking lot with a small business in Rhode Island, to running one of the best gift shops in the state, with loyal customers, great staff and a robust business. Personally, I think for our Chicago clients, having a brick and mortar shop and office is very important and it allows us to engage with clients and build trust within the community. I am also very lucky to have an amazing team of talented designers, who are creative, smart and kind. I thoroughly enjoy going to work, and although we work in a bit of a tight office space in the lower level of the shop, we all have a mutual respect for each other and there is no drama. The only drama we want is from the interiors of the homes on which we work!

HD: Where do you see your firm in the next five years?

JR: I see Jasmin Reese Interiors with a strong foothold in Naples and with a larger team in Chicago. We will have multiple project managers so that I can do what I do best, which is design.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

"In 2021 we expect to see a continued rising demand here in South Walton, yet with reduced inventory. The 30A beach community that has long been focused on tourism and vacation rentals is now shifting towards an increase in permanent residences." - Hunter Harman,  South Walton, 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.

The panelists were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase for the dialogue. They were:

Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Cofounder of Super Luxury Group, a leader in Miami and surrounding areas as well as globally with high net worth clientele

Joel Schemmel, Founder of the Schemmel Group, a top producing team with Sotheby's in Sarasota, top 1% overall in Sarasota

Connie Huergo, a top agent at Coldwell Banker in Delray Beach and Boca Raton, over 20 years of experience in South Florida luxury real estate

Pierre-Marc Bellion, Ocean Sotheby's International Realty, a leading agent in Key Largo and Islamorada areas of the Florida Keys

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro: "Everybody has been working very hard through this year to put all the tools in place to continue working in this business... People feel the trust and confidence of working with experts... Right now, everyone is finding a bigger purpose. Real estate is about enhancing people's lives... When it comes to what platforms we use, right now is the time to try out anything related to digital... Put your face out there. Beautiful videos [of properties] are nice, but people will relate to you. Build your personal brand.

Joel Schemmel: "We are seeing even more demand. Inventory challenges are going to slow us down to a certain extent... In Sarasota, we are comparatively undervalued to other markets in Florida. People are discovering that. They are coming from New York, California, Naples, and other Florida places... During the third quarter of this year, the pending sales compared to the same period last year were up 400% in the $2-4 million range... The market is very engaged. Things move quickly. Focus and understand the market, the value your buyers and sellers are trying to achieve...

Connie Huergo: "Interest rates are extremely low. That has really made an incentive for people that were on the fence. They have decided to make an early retirement. Our city of Delray is full of restaurants, beaches, and a lot of places to go...  We have had to be very creative and I love that, getting out of the traditional and do FaceTime presentations, 3-D... Delray Beach attracts the northeastern [audience]. When they see the prices here, it's an easy decision to make... We have to make sure to work with the right tools and surround ourselves with the proper people that can help us close in time."

Pierre-Marc Bellion: "People are moving out of the city. It's not just about getting out of the urban cities; it's about getting a new perspective... A year ago, a Zoom meeting was an exotic thing. It took us five weeks to get used to it and now it's how we do business... We sell the lifestyle, but you do better when you can share with people and they can tell that you are connected to your environment... On the personal and business level, with the pandemic, it's good to regroup and dig your roots deeper into the community. Go back to talking to people around you to get new listings."

The post Watch: “Top Agents Of Florida Real Estate” On Latest In The Sunshine State Luxury Market 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.

The post Naples Real Estate Busier Than Ever, Says Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

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 $350 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.

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.

The webinar was hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase.

Highlight quotes:

Angela Lutzi Dellatorè: "Naples, Fort Myers and Bonita Springs, it's very busy here... People want to spread out, they want space, and we provide that... In this kind of market, it's important how to use technology to sell properties... ... It's a great rental market on top of everything else... We have seen a huge increase [in demand]. January through April is busy no matter what's going on elsewhere, but we saw an increase in 2020 right off the bat. Once COVID-19 hit, we thought nothing would happen, and in fact, the opposite occurred; the traffic increased... People are looking to spread out to have a space where they can easily go outside during the winter months."

Leslie S. Modell: "Since mid-June, the amount of traffic from the buyers has definitely picked up. I wouldn't say it's an avalanche, but I would say it's a nice pickup from what we have been experiencing since the middle of March... The waiting game is not going to work in New York. Better to get out now and get something sold before the Fall... As a New Yorker and anyone else around the country, this is a great time to buy. I have not since prices or rates this low in a long time. To anyone around the country that is thinking about buying a home in New York: this is the time to buy. The numbers are ticking up again. The Hamptons homes are selling at top dollar."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich: "We are busy here in the peninsula, which is South San Francisco, on down south towards Stanford, all the way through down to Palo Alto, and then Silicon Valley and San Jose. We are seeing multiple offers; people want to get into a single-family residence, something that has more privacy with a yard and space... Younger couples and professionals come in, wanting to start out and get their foot in the door owning property along the marina here... Here along the peninsula, we have a great job market. It's what allows people to be able to come here and afford this area."

Darlene Streit: "It is as busy as I've ever seen real estate in Santa Fe. The closings at Sotheby's last month were equal to 2006-2007 numbers. We have not seen these numbers since then. The overall MLS numbers are about on par with last year. The fact that Sotheby's is ahead in the high-end [market] shows that there are a lot of high-end buyers coming... We are seeing more and more buyers over $3 and $4 million, and we would have many more sales if we had houses to sell them because we have a lot of people just waiting to find a house. It's a very, very tight inventory because everything is selling. It's very busy and people are just coming in from everywhere."

Shelton Wilder: "I'm seeing people coming here from New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. The people here are going to Santa Barbara, Arizona, Florida, Texas and Charleston... Home sales have skyrocketed. People are wanting to leave condos going to single-family [homes]... Some properties are going $400,00 to $500,000 over asking price. Anything under $3 million is going. All of our listings sell in less than 30 days, sometimes just a few days... Rates are low, dropped below 3% now for 30-year fixed. And then there's still really low inventory on in Los Angeles... Home has never been more important. It's a huge privilege to help clients with where they're going to live and building their wealth."

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.

The beauty of Old Florida with the modern amenities we’ve come to enjoy and expect, all conveniently located close to everything that makes Naples one of America’s most coveted places to live. That’s the appeal of 1416 Hemingway Place, a 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, two-story home in a gated community filled with charming homes that capture the style and elegance of Old Florida and just minutes from the beach, restaurants and boutiques that mesmerize visitors from around the globe. The home is proudly listed by concierge broker Dante DiSabato of William Raveis Real Estate.

Spacious and bright, the open-concept home features beautiful light pecan wood flooring under high ceilings, making it perfect for both casual living and entertaining. Its large kitchen features stainless steel Bosch appliances, including a double oven, as well as a large sit-at island and ample counter space. Just off the dining room is a dry bar as well as a wine wall. The two-story great room opens onto the home’s screened-in lanai and pool area (with outdoor kitchen) via multiple French doors, allowing an indoor/outdoor lifestyle most only dream of. And if you long for the days of neighbors visiting for sweet tea, the idyllic front porch can be a magnet for lazy days and contemplative conversation. In short, it’s magical.

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.'
