Domain Realty Distinguished as Best in Southwest Florida

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - July 19, 2016 - PRLog -- The real estate firm of Domain Realty has earned two major local honors in being recognized as "Southwest Florida's Favorite Residential Real Estate Company" as well as "Best in Bonita Springs." The double distinction results from votes submitted by readers of Naples Daily News, sponsor of the 2016 SWFL Choice Awards, as well as readers of the News-Press, sponsor of the 2016 Readers' Choice Awards.

  For years, readers of both newspapers have annually cast votes identifying excellence in products, performance and services involving a range of industry categories. Domain Realty's recognition as "Favorite" and "Best" is not only being seen as something of a coup over larger, longer-established area enterprises, but also as indication that Domain Realty's unique business model is resonating with customers and real estate professionals alike.

 As Domain Realty Broker Jerry Bodart explains, "Only a year ago, we launched Domain Realty convicted in the belief that too many firms had lost focus on what really matters; that it isn't about being the biggest company, what matters is offering the best service for customers."

  In an era that has seen many brokerages moving toward the amassing of agents; solely focused on maximizing company profits, not quality service, Bodart ultimately resolved to take a different approach.

 Having spent years of managing real estate companies, Bodart determined to launch a company comprised of experienced Realtors dedicated to customer service.

  "We only seek out those with expertise; agents who are both competent and fully committed to quality customer service," says Bodart.

 "The fact is, not everyone is cut out to achieve success in the real estate business. It not only takes understanding of the local real estate market, but also negotiation and communication skills, time, energy, patience and above all, willingness to do the necessary work that is in the best interest of your customer. Some may get excited about their sales numbers, but we get excited about satisfying or exceeding our customers' expectations. From day one, our focus has been on service, not sales," says Bodart.

However, Bodart's emphasis on service hasn't been limited to customers. He has worked to ensure Domain Realty is also properly serving the agents that are affiliated with his firm.

In addition to offering 100 percent commission and significantly-low brokerage fees, Bodart routinely provides support in contract writing, industry workshops and professional mentorship in a manner that only someone with more than 25 years of experience can facilitate. Domain Realty has also benefitted from investment in technology (supplied by the Estero-based real estate tech firm of REfindly) and its agents wield what is arguably the most comprehensive network of real estate search portals deployed within any market of America.

    Ironically, in the effort to be "the best" as opposed to "the biggest," Domain Realty has also emerged as the fastest growing real estate firm in Southwest Florida. In just one year, the company has expanded to a team of more than 175 agents.

  "I think agents have seen that we are as committed to helping them achieve success in their career as we are at helping our customers with the buying or selling of homes. Though we're ensuring home buyers understand why Southwest Florida is such a great place to live, I also want to make sure my colleagues actually experience why this is such a great place to work," insists Bodart. "As I've been fortunate to build a great team of professional Realtors who genuinely focus on fulfilling the needs of our customers, I also try to make sure I'm fulfilling the needs of those who work with me."

  The Naples Daily News and News-Press Readers' Choice recognition follows other honors recently bestowed on Domain Realty and its agents. In recent months, agents from Domain Realty have received national awards from the American Business Association as well as Chrysalis Award nominations from the Lee County Convention & Visitors Bureau for marketing excellence. In terms of sales volume, Domain Realty has also been recognized both locally and nationally as a top producer.

   Though gratified to see Domain Realty recognized as a leader in its industry, Bodart says he is "especially proud" to be honored by local readers of the Naples Daily News and News-Press.

  "These awards, more than any, indicates our customers are happy with the result of our work on their behalf. It helps show how devoted we are to serving our customers, and in my view, that is more important than anything else."
