Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberley Menkhorst.
Hi Kimberley, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I help seasonal residents to buy and sell in Naples Florida with my 5 step Lavish Lifestyle Signature Process.
I had moved to Naples in 2007, young and independent, not knowing anyone within hundreds of miles and certainly never intending to be a Realtor. I was determined to explore the area and experience all the fun things it had to offer.
I quickly realized there was a big piece missing to the traditional real estate process and with my skill set as a Marketing Director, I had the ability to fix it. Once I had my second child I knew it was the right time to dive into real estate on my own terms to fill in the gap. I created endless resources through videos, guides, checklists and processes to help my customers understand what they really want and how to efficiently buy and / or market a home.
I always tell my customers, I want you to be HAPPY, content and feel like I helped you accomplish your goals! I’ve created a unique process because I want to be of value, of service to you and your family.
That’s the beauty of working with me, I literally am your hands and feet during the ENTIRE process. In fact, 80% of my clients are not in town for selling or buying. We do everything virtually and I handle it all.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The biggest obstacle has been positioning my business and setting it apart in an overcrowded market. There are 19,000 other real estate agents in my geographic area, how do you gain their trust when there are others who have grown up here or been in the business for over 40 years?
I decided to focus on providing value and answer questions, create guides and other marketing products to HELP those who are relocating and / or buying a second home here in Naples Florida.
It has allowed me to reach people before they move here and get to know 120 other agents in their sphere and therefore doubling my business.
We’ve been impressed with Lavish Listings Naples with Premiere Plus Realty Co. , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
So many people are buying second homes in Naples Florida and either snowbirding during the winter months or relocating full time. Due to that, 80% of my customers are not physically in town when they buy or sell their homes here. That’s why I’ve created my 5 step Lavish Living Signature Method, which takes all the guess work out of timing, location and walks you through exactly what you can expect. This allows you to know what to expect while I am the boots on the ground for you with access to all of my local resources at your disposal.
In fact, my approach goes way beyond just a typical real estate transaction. In our initial consultation, we will go through my “Lavish Legacy Assessment”. This is SO critical. I don’t know of any other local agent doing this. I created this after I saw the opportunity for customers to not just buy or sell their second homes. Its actually a process based on YOUR personal LIFE goals and how you can use this Naples Florida home to truly build generational wealth. We will discuss your timeframes, lifestyle goals in the next 5-10 years and then based on what you tell me, I will make recommendations on locations, communities and areas to not just fit your life now but to gain the MOST equity for when it’s time to move onto the next chapter and to sell, rent or use the equity from this home.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
For those interested moving, retiring or even just vacationing in Naples Florida, I have a youtube channel to walk you through the Top 10 things to do, Pros & Cons of living here, a tour of each area and even share my favorite restaurants and a breakdown of all the beaches.
