With over three decades of experience in Naples real estate, Mato offers valuable advice for home sellers as the local market undergoes significant changes.

As of August 2024, the Naples housing inventory has grown significantly, with about six months of available homes compared to just two months in 2022.

Whether you’re selling for the first time or have previous experience, this book will equip you with the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in today’s Naples real estate market.
