McDermott Naples Real Estate

Premier Sotheby's International Realty

Patience pays off.

Just ask Debbi and Marty McDermott of Premier Sotheby's International Realty ®.

“We had a couple who visited Naples several times over a four-year period,” recalls Marty. “Each time they came to town, Debbi would show the wife around to see what was new on the market. At first, the price point she named was a little under a million, but then it inched up each trip…a million two, a million three.""

“One day I got a phone call from the husband, asking, ‘Where’s the best place to put six million dollars?’ It kind of knocks you off-kilter when something like that happens.”

Off-kilter or not, the McDermotts ended up handling nearly $20 million in transactions in less than a year, as the client, a retired surgeon, bought – and then sold at a handsome profit – a $6 million home in Port Royal and a $1 million property in Park Shore. The spree ended with the good doctor purchasing a residence on a “slightly smaller lot” for the paltry sum of $2.5 million.

That’s the kind of persistence and customer service in which the McDermotts take pride.
