About Me

Shelby Tompkins, Realtor®

Raised right here in SW Florida and bringing the experience of a career in city government to the table, Shelby Tompkins has served SW Florida’s real estate needs for the past 14 years.

“My former career in city government is where my interest in real estate really began. Working directly with city planning, utilities, growth and development provided me with an in-depth education surrounding the future potential of key locations as well as the the nuances of our waterways, land areas, ordinances and how they affect your real estate goals.

I won’t simply sell you a home.
My mission is long-term. I sell a lifestyle and wealth-building investment the buyer can enjoy for years to come. It is with this goal in mind that I make sure to answers the questions people don’t always ask, but should.

Questions like, What is the best type of waterfront property?
How will my land elevation affect my insurance?
What are the pros and cons between Cape Coral, Fort Myers and surrounding SW Florida real estate?

Knowledge is key when purchasing or selling an investment as large as real estate. One piece of information can completely make or break a deal, depending on the circumstances, future plans and current needs.
I am committed to equipping every client with the right information to make the best possible decision for their financial goals.

First Time Home Buyer to Investor

Buying your first home is a big deal. It’s likely the largest purchase you’ve made, or are about to make!

Whether your first home is a historic two story along McGregor Blvd, a downtown Fort Myers riverfront condo with breathtaking views of the Caloosahatchee River, or a charming farmhouse tucked away on 10 acres of oak lined property in North Fort Myers, Florida, I’ll be your greatest asset every step of the way.

And, very often, my client’s story doesn’t end with their first SW Florida property.

I’m always looking out for promising Florida investment properties and am happy to be that source of information that takes clients from first time home buyer to seasoned investor.

The truth is, more people would invest in real estate, they just don’t know where to start or even what questions to ask.

Building a portfolio of investment properties can provide financial security for yourself and your family —and the requirements to start investing are likely a lot less difficult to meet than you think.

IS INVESTING IN PROPERTY AN ATTAINABLE GOAL FOR YOU?

As a smart way to build a financial future for yourself and your family, you can only benefit from learning about property investing, so I like to provide as much information as possible.

Have questions? Give me a call.

I’m committed to making sure you are MORE than equipped to make the best decisions possible.

My Florida Property Listings Sell Faster

Having a track record of homes that sell faster than the average Florida home for sale is something that was built over time.

Understanding the current market, which can change pretty rapidly, and knowing how to price and promote a home to attract the ideal buyer is key.

Along with a strong network of investors and prospective buyers, my listings receive strong exposure through online platforms including LinkedIn, Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.

THINKING ABOUT SELLING YOUR FLORIDA PROPERTY?

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the current value of your SW Florida property.

Whether you’ve experienced recent storm damage or your property is high and dry after Hurricane Ian, you may be unsure about the interest of potential buyers and where price points are right now.

Whatever your question is, give me a call.
I’m committed to your success!
