Meeting Monday May 23rd, two of the downtown Naples' market-leading firms, Gulf Coast International Properties; a leader in luxury real estate sales, and BCB Homes; a leader in luxury home construction convened to discuss the exceptional season that just passed in 2011 with the momentum carrying into the summer. Gulf Coast International Properties has seen sales soar over the last year and many of these buyers have been on the hunt for the location of their choice for the construction of their dream home. BCB Homes' principals and management agreed to say "we have not seen this much new construction beginning in the coastal neighborhoods of Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, and Olde Naples in the past 20 years". Both luxury firms were in agreement that consumers in the upper tier of the market are seeking the latest and greatest building technology advances coming to market and that homes built just 8 or 9 years ago or older simply have become outdated as technology has raced almost tripping over itself advancing home automation, video, security and the all-around building sciences that make these homes ultra low maintenance and ultra-efficient per today's standards.
BCB Homes and Gulf Coast International Properties welcome and harness these technologies in all that they do. From BCB being on the forefront of tech that is to be included in a luxury home to Gulf Coast International Properties leading in high powered marketing technology and reaching these targeted consumers around the world, they both concur that staying ahead of these trends and conveying this knowledge and expertise is key to offering a true professional consultation for clientele looking to develop or purchase such great assets.
Shaun Dalton of Gulf Coast International Properties quoted ''in this market there is no excuse for sales professionals and builders not to know the exacting standards, requirements, building codes, and zoning regulations implied by our great little city 'Naples', as well as those requirements set by organizations such as FEMA, and the Dept. of Environmental Protection. Anything less is a disservice.''
