Two very different jobs.
Both done properly.

Why work with us

The part the portals leave out

Anyone can show you photos of a house. The value is in knowing what happens after you own it.

01

Local, not regional

Naples and Cape Coral are ninety minutes and two entirely different markets apart. You get guidance specific to the community you're actually considering.

02

Straight talk on cost

Insurance, HOA dues, CDD fees, flood zones and assessments — the numbers that decide whether a home is affordable, discussed before you fall in love with it.

03

Backed by eXp Realty

One of the largest brokerages in the country, with the transaction support and reach that comes with it — and a single person who answers the phone.

Your agent

Cameron Smith

I help people buy and sell across Southwest Florida — from first condos in Cape Coral to Gulf-access homes in Naples. Most of my clients come from someone I've already worked with, which is the only referral system I've ever trusted.

If you're moving here from out of state, I'll tell you the things nobody puts in a listing: what August is really like, what insurance actually runs, and which neighborhoods hold value when the market cools.

Do I need flood insurance to buy a home in Southwest Florida?

Lenders require flood insurance for homes in FEMA high-risk zones with a federally backed mortgage. Citizens Property Insurance also requires flood coverage on wind policies with $400,000 or more in dwelling coverage as of January 1, 2026, and on all such policies starting January 1, 2027. Get a quote on the specific home during your inspection period.

What is a CDD fee?

A Community Development District is a special district that pays for roads, drainage and amenities in many planned communities. Its charges appear on the property tax bill as non-ad valorem assessments, separate from HOA dues. Ask for the annual amount and whether a bond balance remains before you write an offer.

What should condo buyers check after Florida's new condo laws?

Ask for the milestone inspection report, the Structural Integrity Reserve Study, the current budget and reserve balance, recent board minutes and any pending special assessments. Florida requires milestone inspections for condo buildings three or more stories tall at 30 years and every 10 years after.

When is the best time to buy in Southwest Florida?

Buyers usually have more room to negotiate from late spring through fall, after the January to April season. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and insurers can pause new policies when a storm threatens, so line up insurance early.

How do I get a home value estimate?

Cameron prices homes from what has actually closed nearby, not an automated estimate. Request a valuation or call or text (239) 940-2101.

Let's talk about what you're looking for

No pressure and no drip campaign — just a conversation about whether now is the right time and what it would take.
