Southwest Florida Shane "Waterfront" Wilson July 18, 2021
When Shane talks about the water, his face lights up like a guy describing his “True Love.” Shane talks an aqua streak about his passion for the waterfront lifestyle. But don’t expect an ego. You’ll appreciate Shane’s rare combination of self-confidence, based on a lifetime of experience, grounded by genuine humility.
A Florida native growing up in the Florida Keys as a third-generation REALTOR® gives Shane a unique perspective shared by only a few. Boating, fishing, diving, and snorkeling with his family on Islamorada grew into a deep appreciation of the Florida lifestyle. It’s a way of life he takes enormous pleasure in helping others achieve.
Shane does more than sell waterfront properties from the dockside. Not only does he live on the water with his family, but he works on the water. Shane enjoys giving buyers a real taste of the local waterways and all their enticing features. Shane personally escorts his clients out on the boat and gives them a taste of the Waterfront Lifestyle.
“Navigating these waters for over 25 years, I’ve found a lot of neat places. Even long-time residents don’t know some exist. Few locals realize the accessibility of Picnic Island where it’s so quiet, you fall asleep to the waves lapping a stone’s throw from your campsite. If gorgeous white sand beaches are your thing, just say the word and I’ll show you the best shelling spots. So you crave great waterside dining? We’ll zip over to a popular Cabbage Key restaurant complete with dollar bills tacked to the ceiling or maybe the Lobster Shack, a hole-in-the-wall featuring mouthwatering crustaceans. And boy, do I know mangrove backwaters where fat fish love to hang out.”
“You’re not just buying a house on the water,” says Shane. “You’re buying the waterfront lifestyle.” Shane has served as a Trusted Advisor and Expert Negotiator serving his clients since 1992. He’s successfully guided well over 1,000 buyers and sellers through the challenging ebb and flow of real estate. Shane’s extensive knowledge has helped vast numbers of waterfront home seekers live their dream.
Making a buck has never been Shane’s first priority. “If you do what you truly love, the rewards follow.” And when Shane says this, there’s no doubt he believes it. That’s because Shane is a matchmaker, of sorts. He genuinely enjoys connecting people with the lifestyle they truly desire.
Shane has earned the Quality Service Certified Platinum Award in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 for having a 100% client satisfaction rating. This is an impressive figure by anyone’s standard. But Shane prefers to gauge his performance by the personal feedback he receives from happy clients: “Shane helped us buy our first waterfront home and many properties since. His knowledge of the industry is unparalleled. However, his best attribute is the fact that he really cares for his clients and will go above and beyond the call of a REALTOR®.
We are lifetime clients and couldn’t give him a high enough recommendation.” – Dr. Mike & Jana Lampe
“…He’s not just another REALTOR® trying to sell you a home — he believes in the community and becomes a friend for life, long after the deal is done… You can look all you want – but if you want honest, friendly and professional service…Shane Wilson is the guy for you!” – Carole Ann Townley

“We trust Shane completely. Shane led us through the entire process of our home purchase from start to finish. There were a few snags along the way, but with Shane’s years of experience, Shane was able to resolve the issues and lead us to a successful closing. We love Shane because he has become like a family member to us. – Steve & Lucille Mitchell
