A GOLD STAR recommendation for Matt Klinowski, realtor. About a year ago, during a casual conversation with a golfing friend about buying a home in SWFL, our friend told us about a real estate web site that was golf community driven. That web site, developed by Matt's team is called Naples Golf Guy (www.Naples GolfGuy.com). While our friend does not know Matt, he stated it is a great site to start our search. Our mission was to buy a second home in SWFL that was in a golf community. From that point, we started to zero in on various communities that we know from our several years of winter renting in SWFL. We used the Naples Golf Guy web site extensively during our remote research. Our search expanded to communities we did not even know existed. The Naples Golf Guy (ie: Matt) web site is a great tool as it is sorted by city (Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Ft Myers), and is sorted by bundled and unbundled golf communities. Full explanation for each type of golf community is explained and then the specifics of each individual golf community is detailed. Costs of communities are also listed (initiation fees, HOA fees, taxes, etc). When we got closer to our next winter in SWFL, we contacted Matt by telephone (we are from OHIO - - OH.....IO) about a month before we travelled South to the house we rented for that year. Matt asked specific questions on what type of home (House, Condominium, Veranda home, Carriage home or Coach home) we envisioned. He gave definitive differences in the five home styles. We then discussed what amenities in a community we were looking for. We then discussed what our weekly golfing vision were to match that with various community courses. Next, we discussed SWFL location areas. And finally, what price point range was appropriate. All of the above paragraph details were part of the all encompassing education offered by Matt.  I utilized a phrase during this time:  buying real estate property as an EDUCATED BUYER brings comfort to the buyer (ie: for us) side of the transaction. After these discussions, Matt went to work on our behalf. He gave a link to 12 to 15 "For Sale" homes for our review. We whittled the list down to 7 for site visits. During the site visits, Matt would give us a a hard copy of the MLS listing and a brief verbal synopsis. Upon entering the home, Matt would go to the Lanai and let us tour the home unaccompanied. A recap discussion/question period would follow the tour.  All LOW PRESSURE discussions - like having a discussion with a friend. After we selected a home site for a purchase offer, Matt's SKILLS SHINED even more. We had a competitive bid situation that Matt guided us through effortlessly. His feedback, market knowledge, knowledge of our vision all came through during this time. Our bid on the Coach Home was accepted. After the home inspection, Matt negotiated a repair credit to be applied to the closing transaction. And then....... Matt has a full list of SWFL repair contractors and tradesman for our use on our new home, if we ever need something completed.   WOW..... Our home purchase closing closed on time! Matt was always........  listening, courteous, conscientious and our advocate to make sure our needs were met. If needed, he was also tenacious looking out for our best interests. Matt is....... hardworking, honest and trustworthy Matt is A GREAT REAL ESTATE AGENT. We are THRILLED to recommend Matt Klinowski as a real estate agent. GREAT JOB MATT........ And Thank You.   We are now SWFL home owners. Kerry and Bonnie May . . read more

My wife and I were looking for house in a golf community in Naples, but living in the Chicago area, we had no idea where to begin. So of course, I turned to the internet. I found "Naplesgolfguy" which seemed like a good place to start, so I emailed him. I was pleasantly surprised to get a prompt, professional reply, so our online conversation began. Matt quickly educated my wife and I on the Naples golf community market and the best way to navigate it. He helped us make a list of our criteria and began sending us listings. Not long after, we flew down to Naples and met Matt in a parking lot. My wife and I were immediately impressed with his approach and laid back demeanor. There was no pressure at all, and he told us up front, he's work with us to find exactly what we wanted regardless of how long it took. We spent a day and a half with him, seeing over a dozen properties. Matt is extremely knowledgeable of the market, and is adept at setting up appointments on the fly. He would always let my wife and I tour the properties by ourselves, being careful not to sway our opinions. Of course, when asked, he would offer his advice and insight. We soon had absolute confidence in him, and we really enjoyed being in his company, something I rarely say about salespeople! On our way home, at the airport, we contacted Matt to make a offer on a house. He adeptly guided us through the offer process and the next day we had a deal! Matt's attention and responsiveness didn't end there, he was a huge help all the way through closing, referring us to a lawyer, home inspector, etc., each of whom we were pleased with. Matt even did the pre-closing walk through, sending us pictures and commentary as he conducted it. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with Matt. I cannot recommendation him highly enough and seriously doubt there is a better realtor in Naples, or anywhere else. The "golf guy" is a "golf god" when it comes to finding a golf community home in Naples! read more

Matt is an exceptional realtor. After hurricane Ian my wife and I made the decision to buy a place inland within a golf course community. After seeing his website we reached out to Matt to help us find a place. After a quick introduction Matt had me email him all the details of what we were looking for. Quickly, Matt narrowed it down to 7-8 communities explaining the pros and cons of each community. We then narrowed it down to 2 communities with a total of 8 houses fitting the bill. It was then up to us to fly down to naples to start a search with Matt. we were able to look at 7 of the 8 places, 1 sold before we could get down here. we narrowed it down to 1 that we really liked, it was priced a little high compared to the unit down the street, matt explained that we were getting high end furniture and a much better view, that being said he negotiated with the buyers realtor and we received a very favorable reduction and were 100% happy. Living in Chicago he and his wife Michelle handled everything after we left, he also was able to move the closing up. I am typing this review from my new Bonita Springs condo. less than 6 weeks start to finish. he even sent follow up emails after we were in here for almost a week to make sure that everything was ok, which it was Thank you very much Matt and Michelle read more

Matt was terrific with our condo purchase at Treviso Bay from start to finish! He was a wealth of info even after the sale! We'd recommend him in a heartbeat! Thanx Matt! read more

We needed to sell our home in Naples and move to Texas. Matt did a fantastic job helping us stage the home, gave suggestions for upgrades and was with us every step of the selling process. He answered our emails and questions immediately and was the go-to-guy for our long distance closing. His professionalism and attention to detail is what makes him a top realtor in Naples and he knows the market. We highly recommended Naples Golf Guy! read more

I called Matt at Naples Golf Guy as I liked his web site and he set me up w an inexperienced colleague. I think it was bc I was not looking for a high end property. I ended up purchasing my new golf property with Sotheby's and was treated well. read more

Matt did a phenomenal job selling our home in Wyndemere in Naples, FL. He was professional and has excellent negotiating skills. He also uses high-end photography which he leverages in all of his marketing which really showcased our home. He provided updates regularly, especially right after every showing. Because he has a wealth of knowledge about golf communities in Naples, he was able to share with potential buyers the value of buying in Wyndemere. I highly recommend Matt Klinowski. read more

We made the right choice and you should too! We called Matt based on his website alone and feel fortunate that we chose him as our SWFL realtor. Despite looking and eventually purchasing a property during the busiest market in history, Matt made us feel like we were his top priority by always being responsive... and we were definitely not his top dollar clients! We were able to purchase our property from out of state and trusted his feedback as he took the time to listen to us and understand our requirements. And now we own the right property for us and know that we will enjoy it for many years to come. read more

I have been in the real estate business for thirty years on the legal side of the transactions. Mike Pepple is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. We traveled to SW Florida to purchase our future home, having never visited before. Mike spent many hours on the phone with us, helping us research communities and golf courses. We went under contract within a few days and closed on a beautiful condo in a fantastic gated golf community in 45 days. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and patient. He consistently went above and beyond, even after we closed remotely from Upstate New York. read more

Matt did a great job helping us find our home. We had a very specific list of things that we were looking for in our 'forever' home. Unfortunately, because inventory was very slim in our desired neighborhood it took a long time for the right home to become available. We almost settled for something that wasn't where we wanted to be because of our frustration, but Matt gingerly kept us on track and helped us keep our eye on the prize. Thanks, Matt! read more
