Looking Ahead: What 2026 Holds for Naples Real Estate, Our Community, and the Commitments That Guide Me Forward

As we get ready to welcome 2026, I find myself reflecting on the changes, opportunities, and meaningful moments that shape both our Southwest Florida market and the community I’m grateful to serve. A new year always brings a sense of possibility, but this year feels especially significant—a moment to step forward with intention, clarity, and heart.

A Market Moving With Purpose

Real estate in Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero continues to evolve in thoughtful ways. Buyer expectations are becoming more defined, lifestyle considerations are guiding decisions, and many families are looking for clarity before making their next move.

In the year ahead, I expect to see:

• A growing focus on value and long-term livability

• Strong interest in new construction and energy-efficient homes

• Steady relocation trends from the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast

• More demand for community-focused living—walkability, amenities, connection

My commitment is to help my clients move through these shifts with confidence. Whether buying, selling, investing, or simply preparing for the future, you deserve the insight and guidance that make decisions easier, clearer, and more strategic.

A Year of Change, Growth & Family

This past year brought one of the greatest joys of my life: becoming Gigi.
That new role has deepened my understanding of what home really means—connection, comfort, presence, and the spaces where family gathers and memories are made.

It also reminded me that real estate is never just about property. It’s about:

• life transitions,

• new beginnings,

• navigating change, and

• finding the place where your next chapter feels right.

Helping individuals and families through those moments is the heart of my work. I’m here not just to guide a transaction, but to support the life that unfolds around it.

My Ongoing Commitment to Community

Beyond real estate, my work in the community remains deeply important to me—especially my support of the Out of the Darkness Walks and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I walk each year in honor of my niece, Emma, and I remain committed to raising awareness, opening conversations, and supporting families touched by mental health struggles.

Advocacy is not something I do once a year. It’s part of how I show up—in my relationships, in my business, and in the ways I aim to serve this community with compassion and honesty.

Serving You in 2026 and Beyond

In the months ahead, I’ll continue to provide market insights, community updates, and guidance rooted in real knowledge of the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Whether you're considering a move, exploring an investment, planning a relocation, or simply staying informed, I’m here as your trusted local advisor.

Real estate is both a financial and an emotional decision—and you deserve someone who understands both sides.

Looking Forward

As we move into 2026, I’m stepping into this year with gratitude—for my clients, my colleagues, my community, and my family. Their support, love, and light guide me each day and inspire the work I do.

Here’s to a year of clarity, connection, and the courage to move forward with purpose.
And here’s to the family who continues to guide me—my children, my granddaughter, and the generations before us whose light shapes the way forward.
