South Naples Realtor & Real Estate Specialist

Local South Naples expertise backed by 20+ years of Naples real estate experience, proven sales, and in-depth knowledge of Lely Resort, Isles of Collier Preserve, Hacienda Lakes, Naples Reserve, Esplanade by the Islands and surrounding communities.

I'm Marie Orlando, Realtor® with Premiere Plus Realty Co., and I specialize in helping buyers and sellers throughout South Naples.

South Naples isn't simply one real estate market. It includes established luxury communities, newer master-planned neighborhoods, golf communities, resort-style developments, waterfront properties, villas, condominiums and single-family homes across the 34113 and 34114 areas.

Understanding the differences between these communities—and sometimes even between two streets or homes within the same community—can make a meaningful difference when buying, selling or determining a home's value.

Having lived in Naples for more than 24 years and worked as a full-time Realtor® for more than 20 years, I bring both long-term local knowledge and current market experience to my clients.

South Naples Communities

One of the things I enjoy most about South Naples real estate is the variety.

A buyer looking for newer construction and resort-style amenities may have very different priorities from someone searching for a golf community, a long-water view, a larger homesite or a property closer to downtown Naples.

Here are several South Naples communities I know especially well.

Lely Resort

Lely Resort is one of South Naples' most established resort communities, offering a wide variety of single-family homes, condominiums and neighborhoods, including Olé.

As a Lely Resort homeowner and Realtor, I have firsthand knowledge of the community as both a resident and real estate professional.

My experience includes numerous Lely Resort transactions, giving me insight into the differences between neighborhoods, memberships, property types, views, amenities and resale values.

Isles of Collier Preserve

Isles of Collier Preserve combines newer luxury homes with a distinctive natural setting just minutes from downtown Naples.

The community offers single-family homes and villas surrounded by lakes, preserves and waterways, along with extensive recreational amenities.

I've represented clients in the Isles and closely follow its resale market, inventory and changing home values.

Azure at Hacienda Lakes

Azure at Hacienda Lakes is a gated Toll Brothers community offering luxury single-family homes and villas.

I have represented buyers and sellers across multiple Azure floor plans and price points, giving me firsthand experience with how model, structural options, lake exposure, pools, impact glass, upgrades and condition can affect resale value.

My Azure transaction history includes multiple completed sales, including a $1,450,000 seller-represented sale, along with experience with Serino, Sabel/Extended Sabel Antilles, Massiano and other Toll Brothers floor plans.

Esplanade by the Islands

Esplanade by the Islands is one of the newer lifestyle communities in the rapidly developing US-41 East corridor of South Naples.

Taylor Morrison developed the community around resort-style amenities and a variety of villas and single-family residences.

For buyers comparing newer South Naples communities, Esplanade by the Islands is often worth considering alongside Naples Reserve, Hacienda Lakes, Seven Shores and other nearby developments.

Naples Reserve

Naples Reserve offers a distinctive resort-oriented lifestyle centered around lakes, recreational amenities and a variety of neighborhoods and home styles.

Its location in the 34114 area makes it an important part of the newer South Naples real estate market.

Buyers considering Naples Reserve frequently compare it with other nearby lifestyle communities, which makes understanding the differences in homes, fees, amenities and location particularly important.

Fiddler's Creek

Fiddler's Creek is one of the best-known gated communities in the South Naples/Marco Island corridor.

The community offers condominiums, coach homes and luxury single-family residences across numerous neighborhoods, with extensive amenities and optional golf opportunities.

Because Fiddler's Creek contains such a wide variety of property types and neighborhoods, values can vary substantially within the community.

Seven Shores

Seven Shores is part of the newest generation of South Naples residential communities.

For buyers looking for new or nearly new homes, Seven Shores provides another alternative within the growing 34114 corridor.

Understanding how Seven Shores compares with nearby communities—including builder options, amenities, homesites, fees and resale potential—is an important part of evaluating a purchase.

Winding Cypress

Winding Cypress is a gated South Naples community known for its natural surroundings, amenities and single-family homes.

Its location provides convenient access to both Naples and Marco Island and makes it another popular option for buyers considering the 34114 area.

34113 vs. 34114 Real Estate

Two ZIP codes encompass a significant portion of the South Naples market: 34113 and 34114.

Although they're adjacent, they contain very different types of communities.

34113

The 34113 area includes communities such as Lely Resort and surrounding established neighborhoods.

Buyers can find everything from condominiums and villas to larger single-family residences and golf-oriented properties.

Its proximity to downtown Naples, beaches, shopping and dining continues to make this part of South Naples attractive to both full-time and seasonal residents.

34114

The 34114 area includes many of South Naples' newer master-planned and luxury communities, including Isles of Collier Preserve, Hacienda Lakes, Naples Reserve, Esplanade by the Islands, Fiddler's Creek, Seven Shores and Winding Cypress.

This area has experienced substantial residential development and provides buyers with an unusually broad selection of newer homes and resort-style communities.

Buying a Home in South Naples

Finding the right South Naples home often begins with finding the right community.

Before focusing exclusively on individual listings, I help buyers compare factors such as:

• Community location

• Home age and construction

• Floor plans

• HOA and community fees

• Golf or social memberships

• Amenities

• New construction versus resale

• Lake and preserve views

• Pool and outdoor living

• Impact-resistant windows and doors

• Natural gas availability

• Community development and future construction

• Resale considerations

Sometimes two homes with similar prices can provide completely different ownership experiences.

My role is to help buyers understand those differences before making a decision.

Selling a Home in South Naples

Selling a South Naples property requires more than putting the home in MLS and waiting for a buyer.

The first step is understanding which properties actually compete with your home.

That isn't always the house next door.

A buyer considering a home in Azure, for example, may also be considering the Isles, Naples Reserve or Esplanade by the Islands.

A Lely Resort buyer may be comparing several different neighborhoods, property types and membership options within Lely itself.

My approach to selling South Naples homes combines:

• Strategic pricing

• Detailed competitive-market analysis

• Professional photography and video

• High-impact digital marketing

• Zillow Showcase when applicable

• Enhanced online real estate exposure

• Staging and presentation guidance

• Community-specific marketing

• Negotiation and transaction management

The objective isn't simply to expose a property to more people.

It's to position the home correctly for the buyers most likely to recognize its value.

What Is My South Naples Home Worth?

South Naples home values can vary considerably—even within the same neighborhood.

Square footage is only one part of the equation.

When evaluating a property, I look closely at:

Community and neighborhood

A property's location within South Naples is the starting point, but values can differ significantly between communities and individual neighborhoods.

Floor plan

Some layouts have stronger buyer demand than others, and structural modifications can further differentiate two versions of the same model.

Lot and view

Long-water views, wide lake exposures, preserve settings, privacy and orientation can materially influence buyer demand.

Pool and outdoor living

In Naples, outdoor living can be a significant component of a home's overall appeal.

Upgrades

Impact glass, generators, cabinetry, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, millwork and post-construction improvements can all influence marketability.

Current competition

A seller isn't competing only against recently sold homes. The property is also competing against everything a buyer can purchase today.

That's why I don't believe an automated estimate or average price per square foot tells the complete story.

The best comparable isn't always the closest home. It's often the home competing for the same buyer.

South Naples Real Estate Market Updates

Real estate conditions can change differently from one South Naples community to another.

Each month, I monitor inventory, new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price changes and buyer activity throughout the South Naples market.

My South Naples market reports also look more closely at important individual communities, including:

Lely Resort • Isles of Collier Preserve • Hacienda Lakes • Naples Reserve • Esplanade by the Islands • Fiddler's Creek • Seven Shores • Winding Cypress

Rather than simply reporting statistics, I explain what I'm seeing and what those changes may mean for South Naples buyers and sellers.
