Amy Fossett, REALTOR®
Amy helps buyers and sellers in North Naples and the Vanderbilt Beach area.
Amy starts with your timing and what comes next. She compares your home with recent sales of comparable homes, current competition and full listing histories, then reviews what you could keep after closing.

What a North Naples listing agent looks at before naming a price
Amy compares your home with recent sales and the homes buyers can choose from today. Worthington’s research also checks whether a listing previously expired, was withdrawn or was terminated. You see that comparison before you choose an asking price.
Amy works with sellers in North Naples and the Vanderbilt Beach area, and across Southwest Florida, including Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero. See the current Naples market numbers
Four questions, then a real starting point
Answer four questions about your home and your timing. You will see a useful starting point before anyone asks for your contact information.
What you receive, and what happens if you list
The review is free. Here is what is in it, and what Amy does with the home if you decide to list.
Before you decide
Where it stands
The recent sales that genuinely compare to your home, the homes yours would compete against right now, and the listing history on both sides, including which of those competitors have already been on the market once without selling.
What deserves attention
The preparation most likely to change how buyers respond, separated from the work where the cost is harder to justify.
What you would keep
A preliminary pricing view and an estimated starting point for your net proceeds, with any association charges that apply at a sale counted in rather than left to the closing statement.
You can start on preparation right now with the Home Staging Guide. Amy walks you through the net proceeds as part of the review.
If you choose Amy to sell it
Prepare the home, and gather the paperwork early
What to repair, what to update, what to simplify, and what to leave alone, matched to your timing and to what you are willing to spend before a sale rather than after it. The paperwork matters too. A condo sale needs the association documents Florida buyers now receive, every sale needs the seller disclosures, and starting both early keeps them away from the closing date.
Show it properly
Professional photography on every listing, because buyers decide whether to visit from the photographs. It has to carry the light, the scale, the condition and the rooms that actually sell the home. Video, aerial photography and floor plans are added when they help buyers understand the setting, the lot or the layout.
Bring it to buyers, including the ones already looking in North Naples
The listing launches through the MLS and the major home-search sites with the full presentation attached, so buyers comparing North Naples homes can see where yours fits.
Before launch you and Amy agree on showing access, how you will communicate, and when buyer activity will be reviewed. From the first offer through inspections, appraisal, any association approval, title and closing she manages the deadlines, and if you are buying as well as selling she works both sides so the two closings are planned together.
Sometimes the useful answer is not yet
A review can come back and say the timing is wrong, that the price you need is not the price buyers are paying this year, or that a few months of preparation would serve you better than listing this month. Amy will tell you that. Nothing about a review obliges you to list.
Renting another season is a real answer too. Amy manages her own short-term rentals and can talk through what renting your home would involve under your association’s rules.
Three details that can change a North Naples sale
These details deserve attention before you list, because each one can change what a buyer pays or which buyers look at your home.
Condo buyers read the building reports
Florida condo buyers are entitled to the association’s latest structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection summary, when they apply. Gathering them, or the association’s statement about their status, before you list can reduce surprises at the offer.
Flood history is part of the disclosure
Florida sellers disclose flood insurance claims, assistance received for flood damage, and flood damage they know of during their ownership, at or before signing the contract. Gather the dates and paperwork early.
Rental rules decide some buyers
Many North Naples associations set minimum lease terms and limits on how often a home can be rented. A buyer who plans to rent checks those rules first.
Amy came to real estate from hotel sales and her own rentals
Amy spent ten years with Drury Hotels, the last eight as Regional Sales Manager over 11 hotels. She led sales teams, managed major accounts and negotiated contracts across the region. She also manages her own short-term rental properties. She chose real estate to bring the same standard of service to buyers and sellers.
She knows what guests notice first
Running her own short-term rentals taught her what people respond to when they walk in. Buyers at a showing notice the same things.
She has negotiated for a living
As a regional sales manager she worked out contracts and terms for major accounts across 11 hotels. An offer on your home gets the same care.
She picks up on what you need
Hotel sales trained her to understand what a client actually needs, often before they have said it, and to follow through until it is done.
She has the brokerage behind her
As a newer agent, she works with Worthington’s broker, ownership team and market research, so your sale gets her attention and their experience.
Amy works with sellers in North Naples and the Vanderbilt Beach area, and across Southwest Florida, including Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero.

Three steps to deciding whether to sell
Selling well is mostly a sequence of good decisions made in the right order. Here is the order.
Tell her what you are trying to do
Your timing, where you are going next, and what has to be true for the move to work. The home comes second, because the home is the means and not the point.
See where your home actually stands
Where it sits against what is selling among homes like yours nearby, what preparation is worth paying for, and an honest estimate of what you would walk away with.
Decide with real numbers in front of you
List now, prepare first, or wait for a better window. You choose, and Amy will tell you which one she would pick if it were her home.
