The real estate market in Southwest Florida has seen its share of ups and downs, and 15171 Intracoastal Court in Fort Myers was a prime example of how patience, expertise, and market knowledge are essential in today’s shifting landscape. As the listing agent, The Starr Team had the privilege of guiding this transaction through a market that had slowed considerably compared to the fast-paced sales of the COVID era.
A Changing Market Landscape
For nearly seven months, we navigated a slowed market where buyers were hesitant, and homes were no longer selling within minutes or hours. The post-pandemic real estate climate is settling back into pre-pandemic norms, and sellers are adjusting to longer market times. Understanding these shifts is key, and as experienced agents with over 40 years in the industry, Elise & Tom ensure their clients have the latest market data to make informed decisions.
Strategic Marketing and Open Houses
To generate interest in 15171 Intracoastal Court, we leveraged multiple open houses, including a special open house event featuring live music and drinks to create an inviting atmosphere. In addition, we executed a marketing plan combining digital marketing, print marketing, social media, our global presence, and out large network for buyers, agents, and other professionals. These efforts were designed to engage potential buyers and showcase 15171 Intracoastal Court in a unique way, helping it stand out in a competitive market.
Seller Patience and Data-Driven Decisions
The sellers of this beautiful property remained incredibly patient, trusting our expertise and commitment to providing them with consistent market reports. By tracking real-time data, we guided them through strategic adjustments, ensuring their home remained competitively positioned. Their willingness to adapt and stay informed was instrumental in ultimately securing the right buyer.

The sale of 15171 Intracoastal Court is a testament to the power of patience, expertise, and data-driven decision-making. If you’re considering selling your home and want a team that understands the market inside and out, Elise & Tom Starr are here to guide you every step of the way.
