A native Neapolitan, Dustin Beard has seen Naples growfrom a small, sleepy town into one of the country’s mostdesirable places to live. This rare perspective gives himunparalleled insight into Naples’ market, its hidden gems, itssought-after neighborhoods and its prospects for the future.“Naples is changing—every day, in little ways,” he says.“The best realtors are aware of those changes; we noticesmall fluctuations in the market, and we respond to thosechanges on behalf of our clients.”Of course, Naples isn’t the only thing that’s changing.Buying and selling real estate is much different than itwas just a few short years ago, and Dustin has workedhard to keep his knowledge and strategy on the cuttingedge. In addition to his honors degree in business-tobusinesssales from Western Carolina University, Dustinholds professional designations that distinguish him fromthe sea of local realtors. For example, he is an accreditedbuyer representative—a title held by only 2 percent of allrealtors—and is accredited by the Council of ResidentialSpecialists, the highest designation awarded to realtors.“The days of listing a house and waiting for it to sell areover,” he says. “Sellers need a realtor who has a strategyfrom day one.” A layered approach is best: Dustin marketseach listing across multiple platforms, including theInternet, direct mail, newspaper, magazine and word ofmouth. Each client receives a monthly marketing report,detailing exactly how Dustin marketed the listing.Buyers also benefit from Dustin’s expertise. A memberof the legal review board at the Naples Area Board ofRealtors, he can walk clients through the intricacies ofcontract negotiations easily and thoroughly. His knowledgeof individual neighborhoods’ markets and valuetrends ensures that buyers make smart investments,and his network of contacts—attorneys, appraisers, titlecompanies and surveyors—helps keep the transactionmoving smoothly.“Ultimately, my market knowledge helps my clients sellfaster, buy smarter and enjoy the transaction,” he says.“I’m committed to serving my clients and making sure theyget the best deals in paradise. It’s what I love to do.”
