ABOUT US

FORT MYERS TEAM -  Saltwater Properties

Our Initial vision in 2009 was to become a multi-faceted Real Estate Investment Organization in southwest Florida and we are proud to say we have accomplished that over the last eleven years.



Our team in Fort Myers consists of entrepreneurs who are experienced in investing and have the financial and property management background to manage our operations successfully.


The support staff and third-party vendors we have developed over the last eleven years has allowed us to leverage ourselves and made it possible to purchase, develop and manage over 800 properties and allows us to pursue additional investment opportunities and purchase more properties.


A key to our structure is every person involved, is 100% “pay for performance” and 100% commissioned based, with the exception of our third-party vendors.


In addition, we have developed a deep and multifaceted network of Real Estate investors and professionals that provide additional leverage and support.
