Brian Rodgers, Lexington Country Club Listing Consultant
At Lexington Country Club, the decision to sell usually begins with a change in your life. You may want to be closer to grandchildren or need to relocate for work. Sometimes the move is only across the community. A Lake Village owner falls in love with golf and starts eyeing Golf Village, while a Golf Village owner whose clubs have been gathering dust starts looking the other way. Brian begins with what is changing for you and when the move needs to happen. Then he looks at the sales inside your village and neighborhood, the homes buyers will compare yours with this season, their full listing history, and what you would likely keep after closing.
Brian usually replies right away, and by the next morning at the latest. No obligation and no pressure to list.

What a Lexington Country Club listing consultant looks at before naming a price
The community median is a starting orientation and not a price. Your village, your neighborhood, your building and your floor plan decide the much smaller group of homes a buyer is actually choosing between, and that group is where the price gets set.
Across those 31 closings, Lexington Country Club sellers received 95.8% of their final asking price. At the September 1 pull, 3 of the 21 active Lexington Country Club listings carried a prior expired, withdrawn, or terminated record. It is one reason to plan the first run carefully.
The difference between the two villages is bundled golf
Both villages pay the same $1,849 base community assessment. Golf Village adds a mandatory golf assessment of $818 a quarter, which is $3,272 a year and covers greens fees. Lake Village pays no golf assessment and pays greens fees when they play. Those figures appear alongside every listing a buyer looks at, so a Golf Village home and a Lake Village home are not competing on price alone.
Brian works across both villages and all seven neighborhoods. The full picture of the community, the current numbers, the fee schedule by neighborhood and the golf access rules live on the Lexington Country Club community page, which Worthington keeps current.
Community figures reflect Worthington Realty research using Florida Gulf Coast MLS data via Stellar MLS, current as of September 1, 2026, on a trailing 120-day window. Assessment amounts reflect the Lexington Country Club schedule effective May 1 through December 31, 2026 and are set by the association. Confirm current amounts on the association’s current schedule and on the estoppel for a specific home. See the full Lexington Country Club page for the current month.
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 Brian does with the home if you decide to list.
Before you decide
Where it stands
The Lexington Country Club sales that genuinely compare to your home, the homes yours would compete against right now inside your village and your neighborhood, 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 the 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. Brian walks you through the net proceeds as part of the review.
If you choose Brian to sell it
Prepare the home, and start the association 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. At Lexington Country Club the paperwork matters too. The sale transfer application, the current fee schedule and the estoppel for your specific home all have to be right, and starting them 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 at Lexington Country Club
The listing launches through the MLS and the major home-search sites with the full presentation attached. It also gets its own page, an email to the network Brian has built here, and targeted advertising written for two audiences: the buyers looking at Lexington Country Club, and the agents who have one. Brian is listing homes at Lexington Country Club and working with buyers there at the same time, so he often brings the buyer to his own listings.
Before launch you and Brian agree on showing access, how you will communicate, and when buyer activity will be reviewed. From the first offer through inspections, appraisal, association approval, title and closing he manages the deadlines, and if you are buying as well as selling he 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. Brian will tell you that. Nothing about a review obliges you to list.
Most Lexington Country Club sales happen between Thanksgiving and Easter. The rest of the year has its own advantage. Fewer homes compete for the same buyer, and the people shopping in the off season tend to decide faster.
Renting it another season is a real answer too. Worthington has managed rentals in Fort Myers since 1989, and Lexington Country Club’s Golf Village and Lake Village are the two areas that side of the business names first. If holding the home and renting it serves you better this year, Worthington can do that. See the Worthington rental side.
Brian goes above and beyond when it matters most
A good share of the homes Brian sells here are being handled by someone who does not live in Florida. Adult children settling a parent’s home from another state. The house still has to be cleared, cleaned and made ready before a buyer will see what it is worth, and the people responsible for it are a plane ride away. Almost none of that work appears on a listing agreement. Brian does it anyway.
Two of those sales
She needed a year, so he gave her a year
She had a price in mind that the market was not paying, and she was not ready to hear it. So Brian left it alone. He sent her an update every month for about a year and asked for nothing in return. When she told him she was ready, the numbers already made sense to her, because she had been watching them the whole time. Later, a buyer asked for a repair credit Brian believed was unwarranted. He told her so rather than take the easy close, and holding that position kept more than ten thousand dollars with her.
Three siblings in three states
They were settling their father’s home, and none of the three lived near enough to take care of it. Brian arranged the clear-out, the cleaning and the staging. When he came across the family photograph albums and their mother’s paintings, he packed them himself and sent them on to each of the three. Those are the things a family wants kept safe.
In their own words
Brian Rodgers did an excellent job of selling our house in an uncertain and challenging market. His communication throughout the entire process was both timely and thorough. I highly recommend Brian Rodgers.
Working with Brian Rodger’s to sell our condominium was a wonderful experience, start to finish. … We felt fortunate to have Brian in our corner.

Brian came to Lexington Country Club from fifteen years of community sales
Brian spent about six years selling new homes at Moody River Estates, Heritage Bay, Reflection Isles, Bonita National and Bonita Landing. He went on to run sales for communities including Wild Blue, Vista at Wild Blue, Arborwood Preserve, Mirada, The Place at Corkscrew, Twin Eagles, Orange Blossom, Raffia Preserve, Amberwood Preserve, Marbella on Cypress and Palmetto Cove. The team he recruited, hired and trained ran about twenty sales representatives selling roughly ten million dollars each, which is where the two hundred million a year came from. He holds a degree in economics from Southern Illinois University. He is now Worthington Realty’s qualifying broker and a co-owner, and he works directly with buyers and sellers at Lexington Country Club.

He listens first

- At homeStacey, and Rodgers Roots and Roost in Briarcliff: more than 150 fruit trees, eighteen raised beds, tilapia aquaponics, and forty-five chickens
It started with tomatoes, and years of failing at them. The plants sold in the big-box stores are bred for somewhere else, and Florida heat, humidity, pests and soil pH took the crop every time. Stacey grew up on a farm, where her father still raises corn and soybeans, and Brian grew up in the country, so giving up was never really the plan. Eventually they stopped fighting the conditions and started planting what actually wants to grow here.
Stacey found a nursery in South Naples with 600 varieties of fruit trees. Brian said there was no way he was driving to South Naples to look at fruit trees. Not long after, he was in the truck headed to South Naples. The owner, Justin, handed him a mamey sapote, which Brian describes as pumpkin pie filling growing on a tree.
Rodgers Roots and Roost is now more than a hundred and fifty fruit trees and eighteen raised beds. Chocolate pudding fruit grows there, and mangoes in coconut cream, orange sherbet, honey, lemon meringue, sweet tart and cotton candy. Teas, turmeric, spices, herbs and gingers fill the beds, including one ginger you can squeeze shampoo out of, next to an aquaponics system running on tilapia and forty-five chickens. Brian and Stacey pressure-can most of what they grow, and they want to start teaching people the process and opening the place up for tours.
Three steps, and you can stop after any one of them
Selling well is mostly a sequence of good decisions made in the right order. Here is the order.
Tell him 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 in your village and your neighborhood, 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 Brian will tell you which one he would pick if it were his home.
