Bonita Springs & Estero Real Estate
Bonita Springs & Estero are well positioned, upscale towns located between Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. They includes many high end gated golf communities, with a notable number of them being used as winter vacation homes by Northern visitors. Walking down Bonita Beach you will see many extravagant multi-million dollar Gulf front homes, but Gulf access canal options do actually exist at reasonable prices. Nearly all properties in Bonita benefit from a very short drive time to the beach and there is plenty of public parking. Beaches here are excellent- soft white sand and clearer blue waters make it a sought after destination. The area ...overview continued here

The area also has numerous restaurant and shopping options, from the reasonably priced to the very fancy. Golf courses are abundant and the distance to the closest international airport (RSW) is only 20 minutes away. As an added plus nearly everything in Estero is very new. From a boating perspective: Estero has very few Gulf access options and Bonita waterways are rather shallow, so they are not advisable for very large vessels. However, for those who are looking to accommodate boats up to around 30 feet, it is an excellent combination of location, boating, and beautiful surroundings. This site also includes specific search pages for the following areas: 1) Bonita Beach, 2) Barefoot Beach, 3) Bonita Bay, 4) Spring Creek, 5) Bonita West of 41.
If you happen to be doing a customized search for properties in Bonita and or Estero, please note: it falls mostly into the Naples MLS system, not the Fort Myers MLS. You will have the option at the top of the screen on the customized search page to choose which one you want to search, so in most cases choose Naples. However, the Fort Myers system allows greater customization. So, if you have some very particular search criteria (ex: specific # of stories tall, specific years of construction, etc) you may wish to utilize the Fort Myers MLS system too. Of course instead of all that you can feel free to contact me with the details of what you are looking for, and I can advise you that way too.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with the intricacies of the areas waterways, it is recommended that you review the Southwest Florida area overview here. Also please note: in some of the communities, while listed as gulf access, they may require leasing/purchasing a slip at an additional fee or keeping the boat at the community marina. Feel free to contact me to discuss any of specific interest. The constantly updated list of available properties is included down below.

Since you are already on this site, you’ve already encountered just a bit of the effort I put into marketing (which could include your home). In addition to personally designing & operating this site I have a collection of other websites to maximize exposure of your home (including specific neighborhood sites). This puts your property in front of the 1000’s of targeted potential buyers visiting these pages each week. Of course that’s just one of MANY techniques that will be employed to get the job done. Simply compare one of my listings to that of others and you’ll see the difference (ex: superior photography, virtual tours, carefully thought out descriptions, etc). I am one of the area’s top agents for a reason-- I get the job done and with great results for my clients! Everest is certainly one of my preferred areas to conduct business in, so I welcome your inquiry.

My name is Dan Starowicz and I am a Realtor with Sand Castle Realty. I have four area offices to better serve my clients, located in Bonita Springs, Naples, Cape Coral and Fort Myers. I specialize in waterfront property (including foreclosures and short sales). As a local resident for the past 25+ years, I can safely say that I know this area quite well and bring my expertise to every transaction. I also enjoy my share of boating in this region, so I can safely advise clients as to the pro’s and con’s of different area waterways, from a boaters perspective.
In addition to being a Realtor, I have a background with years of experience in the mortgage business and as a hands-on Real Estate Investor too. I’ve personally bought bank owned property, imminent foreclosures, short-sale property, auctioned properties and estate sale homes. I am experienced in handling transactions involving 1031 exchanges, estate sales, trusts, self directed IRA purchases, foreclosures, short sales and many others too.
This particular website is one in which I’ve personally designed myself in an effort to give the public the best possible source to learn about the area and to have the most comprehensive information and real time search capabilities as possible. It may not have the prettiest pictures or the flashiest format, but the substance should all be superior. Because I assemble this site bit by bit in my spare time, you might run into the occasional error. If you come across anything notable, I’d sure appreciate if you could point it out to me, that way I can correct it and everyone benefits from it. As far as other sites go: It’s my opinion far too many use the same cookie-cutter formats, which don’t do you any real good. They may also leave up old information to generate inquiries from interested buyers. That is not the case here! I want to empower the public to make intelligent, well informed decisions. Hopefully when you are ready to conduct business, you will consider me for the job. And of course I’m here to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Dan Starowicz. Sand Castle Realty. 239-603-6100.
