Relocating to Florida
Naples and
Southwest Florida.
The Gulf coast
Why Long Island to Naples.
Gulf of Mexico beaches
Naples sits on the Gulf of Mexico, with a long line of beaches along its western edge, facing west over the water.
Old Naples and Fifth Avenue South
Old Naples is the historic center of the city, close to the beach. Fifth Avenue South runs through it, lined with shops and restaurants.
The Naples Pier area
The Naples Pier sits on the Gulf at the edge of Old Naples, with beach on both sides and residential streets running back toward Fifth Avenue South.
Golf course communities
Golf course communities are a big part of the housing around Naples, with condos, villas, and single family homes set along the fairways.
Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero
Marco Island lies south of Naples on the Gulf, reached by bridge. Bonita Springs and Estero sit just north, on the way to Fort Myers.
Flights home
Southwest Florida International Airport, in Fort Myers, is the main airport for the region, with direct flights to and from the New York airports.
Anywhere in Florida
The whole state.
Naples and Southwest Florida is home base, but Rose's Florida license covers the whole state, so she can represent you on a purchase anywhere in Florida.
Up the Gulf coast
From Naples up through Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Tampa Bay.
The Atlantic side
From Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale down to Miami.
Orlando and central Florida
Inland, in the middle of the state.
The Space Coast
The Atlantic coast east of Orlando, around Cape Canaveral.
Jacksonville and northeast Florida
The northeast corner of the state, up to the Georgia line.
For markets outside Southwest Florida, we pair you with a local Keller Williams agent on the ground, and Rose stays on your side of the deal from the search to the closing.
Anywhere in the country
Beyond Florida.
Team Rivera is part of Keller Williams. If you are leaving Long Island for somewhere other than Florida, we connect you with a vetted Keller Williams agent in that market through the Keller Williams network, anywhere in the United States.
We sell here
We price, market, and sell your Long Island home, from the first walk-through to the closing.
An agent there
Through the Keller Williams network, we connect you with a vetted Keller Williams agent in the market you are moving to.
One point of contact
We stay your single point of contact from the first call to both closings, and we keep both sides on the same dates.
How it works
One move, two markets.
Set up the other end
In Naples and Southwest Florida, Rose handles the purchase herself. Elsewhere in Florida, a local Keller Williams agent works with you on the ground and Rose stays on your side. Anywhere else in the country, we connect you with a vetted Keller Williams agent through the network.
Tour from home
Remote showings and live video walk-throughs let you narrow the list from Long Island. When you have a short list, we plan an in person trip around it.
Time both sides
We plan the Long Island sale and the purchase together, so the closings, the move, and the money line up. Sell first, buy first, or close on both around the same time: we work it out with you and your lender.
Coordinate the closings
We keep your New York attorney, the closing agent on the other end, and your lenders working toward the same dates, and we stay your one point of contact on both sides.
What we handle
Both sides of the move.
Rose is licensed in New York and in Florida, so the same team is on both sides of a move to Florida, from the Long Island listing to the Florida closing.
- Pricing, preparing, and marketing your Long Island home
- Showings, offers, and negotiation on the Long Island sale
- Your Florida search, in Naples and Southwest Florida and anywhere else in the state
- For a move to any other state, a vetted Keller Williams agent there, through the Keller Williams network
- Remote showings and live video walk-throughs
- Planning the timing of the sale and the purchase together
- Coordination with your attorney, the closing agent on the other end, and your lenders
- One point of contact from the first call to both closings
Questions
Florida questions.
- Who handles the Florida side?
- Rose does. Rosemary Rivera is licensed in Florida as a sales associate with Keller Williams Realty Marco Island, and in New York as a salesperson with Keller Williams Points North, and her Florida license covers the whole state. In Naples and Southwest Florida she handles the purchase herself. Anywhere else in Florida, a local Keller Williams agent works with you on the ground and Rose stays on your side of the deal.
- What if I am moving somewhere other than Florida?
- Team Rivera is part of Keller Williams. Through the Keller Williams network, we connect you with a vetted agent in the market you are moving to, anywhere in the United States. We handle the Long Island sale and stay your single point of contact the whole way.
- Can I sell on Long Island and buy in Florida at the same time?
- It can be done, and how it works for you depends on your finances and your lender. We plan the timing with you, whether that means selling first, buying first, or closing on both around the same time, and we bring your attorney and lender in early.
- Do I have to fly down to see every home?
- No. We start with remote showings and live video walk-throughs so you can narrow the list from home, then plan an in person trip around your short list.
- What if Florida will be a second home, not a full move?
- The process is the same. If you are keeping your Long Island home, we focus on the Florida purchase and keep you posted the same way.
