Resort Immobilien Realty Company specializes in international clients

RESORT IMMOBILIEN REALTY CORP. focuses on international clients. Americans often ask what does "IMMOBILIEN" mean in the companies name? Immobilien is German and it simply translates to "real estate". It is also understood by French- and Spanish-speaking people. "Although we experience quite a few Europeans on Naples' shopping centers, restaurants and on the beaches, these numbers will increase in the future.," said Klaus Gurwicz, the company's Broker.

"More Europeans are realizing the beauty of Southwest Florida. Also, more direct flights are scheduled from Europe to Southwest Florida International Airport." Best of all, Europeans come when Southwest Florida needs them most - in the off-season. When the "snowbirds" are back north, Germans, Swiss and others spend their holiday here in summer, as well as in October, November and December. According to Zarin Gurwicz-Dharsi, a Realtor Associate, at Resort Immobilien Realty Corp., the opportunity to sell listings covers most of the year.

"From January to March, we serve mostly US-customers from the north," said Gurwicz-Dharsi. "When the "snowbirds" are packing to head back home, Germans, Austrians and Swiss are coming in large numbers during their Easter Holidays." The next big chance to sell the listed property comes during the summer months from June until end of August. "Keep in mind that People from Europe have up to five weeks of holidays," said Gurwicz. "When the beaches in Europe are overcrowded, they try to escape to enjoy the wonderful - and empty - beaches of the Gulf of Mexico."

Zarin Gurwicz-Dharsi points out, "It helps me a lot that I speak five languages and have lived in many different places in the world. For instance, Germans don't know anything about square feet; people from the Mediterranean area like to bargain a lot; and the French often don't speak English at all." Resort Immobilien Realty Corp. staff members have learned to understand their customers from abroad.
