Renee Malachowski, P.A. · REALTOR® · Premiere Plus Realty
Southwest Florida,
known by heart.
Buying here means asking questions a listing can’t answer: how a community handled the last storm, where its HOA dues are heading, what insurance will really cost once the house is yours. Renee has lived on this coast since 1995 and sold real estate here since 2014.
What you get
The listings are everywhere. The judgment isn't.
Every portal shows the same inventory. What none of them tell you is what the photographs leave out, what the HOA documents mean, or what it costs to insure a house two blocks from the water.
I
On this coast since 1995
Naples, then Fort Myers, then Estero since 2008, where Renee and her husband raised their family. She knows these communities as a neighbor, not as a search result.
II
Credentialed representation
Seven NAR designations and certifications, including negotiation and pricing strategy. Training you feel at the table, not just letters after a name.
III
Built for out-of-state buyers
Most people who buy here live somewhere else. Renee handles the walkthroughs, the inspections, and the builder registrations a long-distance purchase depends on.
Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, Babcock Ranch, Wellen Park, Lakewood Ranch.

Two guides, written for this coast
Not generic real estate advice. These cover the things that are specific to buying and selling on this stretch of the Gulf coast.
The Buyer's Guide
Insurance and wind mitigation, flood zones, HOA versus CDD fees, condo reserve requirements, new construction versus resale, and what buying from another state really involves.
Read the guideThe Seller's Guide
How pricing actually works, what to fix and what to leave, why season matters more here than almost anywhere, what you will pay at closing, and how to read an offer past its headline number.

The communities she knows street by street
These sit along the Corkscrew Road corridor in Estero. They look alike in photographs and are not alike to live in — the differences are in fee structure, build stage, and who actually lives there.
The Place at Corkscrew
One of the largest amenity packages on the corridor — resort pool with a slide, restaurant and bar, tennis, pickleball, and a dog park. Largely built out, so what you see is what you get.
Full community guideVerdana Village
The indoor sports complex is the differentiator — indoor pickleball and tennis are rare here. A Publix at the entrance matters more day to day than people expect. Still building.
Full community guideWildBlue
Over 800 acres of freshwater lakes with real boating, not just a view. Four builders, and Vista WildBlue alongside it. The lakefront lots are the reason people choose it.
Full community guideKingston Estero
Cameratta's newest master plan on the corridor, and the earliest-stage community on this list. Early is when the lot positions are still worth choosing between.
Ask Renee about itRiverCreek
GL Homes' Estero community — gated, clubhouse-led, and piped for natural gas, which is less common here than buyers assume. Ask what the clubhouse schedule actually looks like.
Ask Renee about itCorkscrew Shores
Built around a 240-acre lake with kayaking and a lakefront restaurant. Built out and settled, with a quieter feel than the bigger resort communities nearby.
Ask Renee about itThe Preserve at Corkscrew
Smaller and quieter than its neighbors, with a more modest amenity package and monthly costs that reflect that. Worth considering if you would rather not pay for a water slide.
Ask Renee about itBella Terra
The established option — nearly a thousand acres with a large preserve, mature landscaping instead of new sod, sports fields, and fees below the newer builds.
Ask Renee about itAlso serving
Real estate is about more than a transaction. It is about helping people make confident decisions and feel supported every step of the way.

In their words
Clients on working with Renee
My home search was done from 1000 miles away. Renee was very helpful with taking care of all aspects of my home search and purchase. I was unable to be there in person for the home inspection, so Renee took care that for me.
Mark Farahati · Realtor.com
We live in DE so with the distance issue, Renee was very forthcoming and helpful to us. She persevered with this house even though there were some issues from renters being in there.
J. Kozicki · Realtor.com
We have used Renee on three different transactions and could not be happier with her professionalism and service.
