Where an Ave Maria listing actually reaches
An Ave Maria listing reaches buyer agents through the SW Florida MLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Del Webb Naples, Maple Ridge, Coquina, Emerson Park, Bellera, Ave Maria proper, Middlebrooke, La Mia Casa, Residences at Maple Ridge and Silverwood. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Ave Maria frequently look at Naples, Immokalee and Golden Gate in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
