Dave and Ann Renner prove there is indeed strength in numbers - and the number is two. Specializing in luxury communities, this energetic team clearly loves the business and cherishes long-term customer relationships. Originally from Ohio, Dave and Ann have built a stellar practice in Naples that caters to the most discerning buyers and sellers, and their customers have come to trust their honesty and expertise of the luxury home market. "Our goal is not to be the biggest, but to be the best," explains Ann. "We maintain a limited number of listings and are extremely hands-on with our customers."

Dave emphasizes that the customer's best interest is top priority. "If market conditions indicate that it's best to wait, we will say so. We treat each customer like a family member, and they appreciate that," comments Dave. "Our customers always come first."

The first question they ask is: "What is your lifestyle?" With large family backgrounds and four children of their own, they understand the importance of matching the home and community to their customers' circumstances and outlook. "For each presentation of property, we offer a fresh look," says Ann. "We really enjoy being creative and thinking outside the box."
