About Us
R. L. Bailey Realty, Inc. is a small, boutique brokerage firm in Naples, Florida that offers a personal service approach with a primary focus on buyers. In a second home resort market such as ours, buyer education is crucial. Regardless of your price range or lifestyle preference beachfront estate, golf course community, or a quiet condo we can work on your behalf to find the ideal property. We feel that any buyer new to the area needs to understand as much about the community as the properties they are considering. This belief drives our approach. Our goal is to help buyers make an educated decision about the community they are joining, as well the home they are purchasing.
Working with an experienced brokerage firm like R.L. Bailey Realty that knows the area and current market trends is advantageous for buyers, many who have not visited the Naples area previously and have a limited time to spend in the area to find that new home, property or vacation getaway.
Bob Bailey was licensed as a Realtor in Florida in 1995 and obtained his Broker's license in 2008. In 1995 he and his wife launched an Internet marketing company, which has developed Internet marketing programs and strategies for many of the largest and most sophisticated real estate firms in the Naples area. This experience brings a unique understanding and perspective to working with customers. Large real estate companies are limited in their ability to represent buyers aggressively because any Realtor in their firm cannot act as a buyer's representative without excluding the firm's listings. Since that is not practical, a buyer agency is rare among Realtors working for large firms. While there are cases where we don't formally act as a buyer agency, we still focus as strongly on buyer education. Whenever possible, R.L. Bailey Realty will work as a buyer's agent.Certified International Property Specialist
