The people are what makes this a great firm. So many wonderful caring agents and staff. We all work together to make the buying and selling experience a happy life event. I often use our inter office email system to share information and ideas. Great recommendations from over 600 agents works like a charm.

My family listed 3 homes in SWFL with other brokerages. All 3 times Downing-Frye brought the buyer. Next listing of course goes to Downing-Frye!

Critical: Responsiveness
Realtor is good. Receptionist is good. Home office staff does not respond to or return repeated calls and emails for routine tax question. This after we have given them our rental listing for 6 years. After two weeks I gave up. Would not recommend.

Sellers beware! My sister recently used this agency to sell her home in Naples. Her buyer was also represented by Downing-Frye, which shouldn’t be an issue if the agent follows their fiduciary duties and represents both parties ethically. My sister offered to sell her furniture to the buyer, but they hastily declined. She then coordinated for… Habitat for Humanity to pick up everything she wasn’t taking with her. My sister arranged for her realtor to be at the house when the charity picked up the furniture, however, the movers were delayed by a day so my sister and I were also

Clement Soffer is a pleasure to work with in Naples. He is with Downing Frye. He understands the Naples market and is always willing to pick up the phone and answer any questions you might have regarding North and South Naples. He lives in Naples and is familiar with all of the different communities. This helps when it comes time to decide which area to chosse. He also knows many of the builders to make your move to Naples as smooth as possible.

This has been the most enjoyable and wonderful experience. Both Karen “Red” and Carole have been the most amazing realtors in Naples. They even provided the check-off list of things to do complete with phone numbers and other recommendations for pressure washers and even pool cleaners. They are both a blessing to whomever they’re working with as well as others that may potentially help their possible endeavors in the future. I’m grateful they’re here to help newbies and help us out! I won’t forget all they did for our family!

Would NEVER recommend this company. Our agent, Gariann Small, entered our home unbeknownst to us with the buyers, BEFORE the closing and ripped down curtains and damaged walls. They had no permission to be there, we caught them when we came to finish doing some work. We never had any previous discussions about them being in the house and she… never asked us. She also never showed up for our closing, although she went with the buyers! She represented them more than us and we paid a substantial sum to this firm. I never received any written communication from my detailed letter to the president

I have to admit that my wife and I are not necessarily easy people to please but I feel compelled to write this review as a result of our experience. We couldn't have been more impressed with our realtor Danan Delsing in finding a home in Naples. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional in every respect and just frankly made the search for a property and really positive experience.. He definitely has gone way above and beyond in terms of overall service and follow up to make our transition to Naples pleasant and care free. If you are looking for a realtor to work with I just can't imagine that

It's hard to believe there's a better real estate agent than Stephen Shapleigh. The way he guided and nurtured us through the purchase of a small condo in Naples, you would have thought we were buing a multi-million dollar estate. His careful attention to every detail was especially important since we did it all long distance. No question was a bother and no concern was minimized. And responses were always quick both on the phone and with email. It will be great sharing some wine with him when we're in Naples.

Ask for John Ludwig. He takes care of our rental property every year & always answers his phone, text, or Email. He's a Naples native which to us is a huge help. Never any annoying "salesperson" tactics and he's always honest & upfront with current market information. Working on selling one of our properties with him now. Thanks John!

Our experience with Anna and Mike Bryant was an amazing one. We were long distance purchasing a home in Naples, and they were there every step of the way, always accessible. They are extremely professional, hard working, and always working for "you" their client. If any two people know the market and its ever changing conditions Anna and Mike do. We highly recommend them to satisfy your real estate needs whether it is a primary residence, second home or rental. Kudo's to "Team Bryant"!!
