The Community Most North Naples Buyers Never Find

Why Delasol Flies Under the Radar — And Why That Is Good News for You

When buyers ask about North Naples communities online, the same names come up every time. Riverstone. Stonecreek. Carlton Lakes. Those are excellent communities. I have helped buyers find homes in all of them. But there is a reason I bring up Delasol in almost every North Naples conversation. Built in 2005 and 2006, when developers still gave homes real lot sizes and set them back from the road with actual driveways. Delasol has a spaciousness that newer communities simply cannot replicate. You do not feel on top of your neighbor. You do not feel like the street is in your living room. The preserve views and the lake systems throughout the community give it a peacefulness that stops buyers cold when they drive through for the first time.

It is entirely gated with a 24-hour guard, not just a keypad. It is entirely single family, no condos, no coach homes, no high-density product mixed in. And it is in an X flood zone, which in Naples is not a minor detail. It is a significant financial and lifestyle advantage over many communities that sit closer to the water.

The International Buyer That Only Wanted a home in Delasol

I was working with an international buyer who was searching specifically in Delasol. There was a listing that I thought was exactly right for them but when I mentioned it, they were not interested. They had seen the photos and assumed it did not have a pool. No problem. I kept the conversation going.

A little while later I ran into them again and said, just look at it. Just walk through. They agreed. They walked in and found an oversized pool, a renovated kitchen, four bedrooms, a massive yard, and a three-car garage. Everything they had told me they wanted was right in front of them. They just could not see it from the listing photos.

The terms got complicated. International financing creates layers that most transactions never have to deal with. Rather than let the deal fall apart, I introduced the buyer and seller in person. I knew both of them. I knew their personalities. I knew they would trust each other if they met face to face. They did. The deal closed.

That sale set the record for the highest price ever sold in Delasol at $1,250,000. Nothing has sold at that price since. The family is still there- raising their kids in the neighborhood, loving the community, exactly where they belong. And the seller used the proceeds to buy his grandmother’s house in Wisconsin and a home here in Naples. Two properties funded by one transaction executed correctly.

That is what this work is actually about. Not just closing a deal. Changing the financial trajectory of multiple families at once.

The Sale That Funded a Retirement And Set a Record Doing It

I listed a Delasol home at $1,030,000. The buyer happened to be a real estate agent who chose to waive their commission, which meant my seller walked away with $1,050,000 net in their pocket. That was the highest net ever received for that model in Delasol. More than $220,000 above what that floor plan had ever gotten before.

But the number is not the story. What happened next is the story.

With that sale in hand, my sellers were able to buy a perfect pool home nearby for $630,000, using the equity from Delasol to fund the purchase and free up the capital that finally made retirement possible. Two transactions. One strategy. A completely different life on the other side of it.

I handled both the sale and the purchase. That is what I mean when I say I manage the whole picture, not just the transaction in front of me, but the one that comes after it too.
