Naples, Florida

I’m Katrina Shimer, a Southwest Florida Realtor & true Naples local. I’ve lived in Naples since I was 4, giving me firsthand knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, back roads, flood zones, insurance concerns, & how each community has changed over time. As a 2nd-gen real estate professional raised by a broker & general contractor, I learned to evaluate property from every angle, including location, structure, condition, resale value, & lifestyle. Before becoming a full-time Realtor, I spent many years as a teacher & local business owner, which shaped my approach. Whether you are buying, selling, relocating, investing, downsizing, expanding, retiring, searching for a second home, exploring investment properties, or navigating distressed sales or preforeclosure, I provide honest guidance, clear strategy, & local insight to help you make informed decisions. When it’s time to decide your next move, whether local or nationwide, I would be honored to be your trusted real estate resource.
