Merry Christmas!

Click here to see a very Merry Christmas message!

Our Pastor sent us all a heartfelt message about Christmas and how we can share the hope we have received through Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

We invite you to watch the video sponsored by our church and discover the true meaning of Christmas.

We are thankful for a Christmas vacation in Colorado where we are having a white Christmas.

See you soon back in Naples, Florida.





Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Naples Landings

Naples Landing is the only public boat ramp park in the City of Naples. There are a few other great choices in Collier County to launch your boat if you have it stored off-site on a trailer. I'm from Indiana. Monticello Indiana is centered around two lakes, Lake Shaffer and Lake Freeman. So imagine my excitement relocating here to Naples, FL and finding these hidden treasures in Naples to launch your boat. If course the best of the best is to own a home with a boat dock in your backyard. That to me is the dream. Nearby communites of Aqualane Shores area or Royal Harbor area are both excellent choices of boating communities.

Naples Landings is located directly off 9th Street South in Olde Naples. Parking for about 20 trucks/trailers, three ramps to help with the morning rush and restrooms, picnic area and playground.

This message is brought to you as a public service.

Builder's are building again and buyer are buying new construction in Naples, Bonita, Estero and Fort Myers.




Have you noticed that Lowe's Home Improvement stores and Home Depots are busy again and workers are on the road?  Yes, go to any 7-11 early in the morning, like now and you'll see all the trades getting gas and coffee to start the day running.  I'm thrilled to report that concrete trucks are on the road again!




We are Alice Miller and Cathy Miller, Realtors at Amerivest Realty of Naples with a specialty in new construction builders, promotions and sales.  Our specialty grew out a necessity for clean, quality homes in the mist of the less than maintained foreclosures and short sales homes.  New Construction is worth.  Below is a partial list of some new construction communities in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers their a new program called Agent Shield.  But that's not all.  There are more communities available and a few new on the horizon.


Our most recent client purchased in Botanica Lakes with GLHomes as a nearly complete inventory home.  Delivery anticipated is December.  The incentives are available if you time your purchase just right.  Promotions change frequently but they are good.  Other clients of ours purchased a home at Secoya Reserve with Stock Development.  Our clients at Secoya received the luxury of selections including the lot.  We have watched this home being built from the ground up and expect a delivery on or about November 15th.  We are so excited about the new possibilities for our clients.


If you consider new construction, we need to be your first contact if you're considering new construction residential real estate in Southwest Florida.  Give us a call.  We know the communities and the promotions to best serve our clients buying either inventory, nearly built or a complete build.  Give us a call first, we can only help if we have a consultation first and register at the interested communities when we visit together.  Call Alice 239-961-3393 or Cathy at 239-293-5425.

Naples New Construction, We are here from registration to completion!

Call Alice and Cathy Miller, Realtors with Amerivest as
your Naples New Construction resource.
We are here from registration to completion!
Builders are building again in SWFLA and buying new construction is a great alternative to looking at all the short sales and the few foreclosures still lingering.  Now is the time to contact your REALTOR and discuss the possibilities of new construction in Naples, FL.  Just recently, we, Alice and Cathy Miller assisted clients in purchasing a new home at Secoya Reserve, a little North Naples community near Mediterra.  After a long day of selections at the Stock Development design center, then located in FM but being relocated to Naples, well, the home is out of the ground and we have block walls.  We have sent weeks and even months researching the communities, the promotions and the builder.  If looking for a new construction is what you'd like to do, then call your Realtor.  If you do not have a Realtor, then call Cathy and Alice at 239-961-3393 and we will help find you your new Naples community.  While building is moving faster than ever before and all the tradesmen appreciate the work, remember too that some builders do have some spec homes too.  If waiting for your home to be built is not an option or if you don't want to go through the process of selections for every detail, then select a ready made home from the builders current inventory, that's is a nice option.

Click here to search Naples New Construction Communities

Tiburon is certainly one of the finest communities in Naples and the only community in a resort community with an on-site Ritz Carlton Golf Resort. Click here to learn more about Tiburon When you purchase new construction at Tiburon, keep in mind that membership is mandatory. Signature Membership is currently $25,000 initiation fee then an annual fee thereafter. Resale resident buyers usually do not pay this initiation fee if the seller remains in good standing. Either way, we can help. We have access to the Multiple Listing Service here in Naples and know the new construction too availability and rules too.


If a single family home or condo with much less community fees are on your radar, then I suggest you check out Manchester Square or Marbella Lakes In the past, when Naples had lots of land and big builders, large communities came about. Only the smaller tracts of land are available and thus we have Marbella Lakes and Secoya Reserve. Marbella Lakes has a nice amenities package with everything including an indoor basketball court and an amazing resort style pool. Secoya Reserve on the other hand, while being an upscale community with a quality builder, there is no clubhouse or community pool and with only one entrance and gate to maintain, the fees are super low. Contact us, tell us your story, we will find you your new Naples home while selections are still plentiful.

Alice Miller and Cathy Miller are the Miller Team with Amerivest Realty in Naples with two offices to serve you. The north Amerivest Real Estate office is located at 10001 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL 34108 on US 41 and across from Pelican Marsh. Our downtown office is located in Olde Naples directly on Fifth Avenue at 500 Fifth Avenue South, Suite 501, Naples, FL 34103. Alice and Cathy can be reached by appointment only by calling ahead at 239-961-3393. Or if you wish, send an email with your inquiry to Team@MyNaplesRealty.com.  Make us your first contact, before you start work with a builder.  We can work for you and get paid by the builder, but we must be there from registration to completion.
