What we do

Three things, done right.

I.

We find

Cape Coral has 400 miles of canals and thousands of homes. We know which neighborhoods are appreciating fastest, which canals get unrestricted Gulf access, and which properties will actually rent well to vacation guests. You don't have to guess. We've already done the homework.

II.

We build

From cosmetic refresh to full ground-up new construction, our renovation team handles every detail — design, contractors, furnishing, styling. Almost every villa on our rental portfolio was renovated or built by us. We know what guests respond to because we've watched it work, hundreds of times.

III.

We manage

Once your home is ready, we list it on the CoralVilla platform, handle photography, tax registration, and approvals — then our property managers take care of cleaning, maintenance, and guests. You receive owner statements. The home pays for itself.

STEP 03

Close

We handle inspections, negotiations, and closing. The seller pays our commission.

5 stars A+. Heiko was extremely helpful, responsive and professional throughout the entire process or purchasing a lot and helping with us on a design for our house. We are very happy to have used Heiko and will continue to reach out to him for his knowledge of the Cape Coral area. I would recommend Heiko to anyone in or coming to the Cape Coral area. Well done!!
— Eric B.
★★★★★
Heiko assisted us in purchasing a home in early 2026. When we first met, we told him some very specific things we were looking at. He truly listened and only showed us properties that fit our needs. As we were new to the Florida market, we needed some assistance and Heiko was very good at responding to our questions in a timely fashion. He made the whole process seamless. I would definitely recommend Heiko for your real estate needs.
— Paula R.
★★★★★
Heiko has been instrumental in my purchase. I live in Ohio and he has gone above and beyond, doing things to help that a normal realtor would not. It has been a pleasure. If you are buying property in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral this is your guy! I highly recommend.

Common questions

Honest answers.

Buying property in another country sounds intimidating. It doesn't have to be. Here's what buyers ask us most.

Can foreigners actually buy property in Florida? +
Yes — Florida has no restrictions on foreign ownership. International buyers purchase Cape Coral homes routinely. You don't need US citizenship, a green card, or a visa to own property here. We guide you through every step of the legal process.
Do I need to set up an LLC? +
For most international buyers, yes — an LLC limits personal liability and simplifies the tax picture. We work with US attorneys and tax advisors who specialize in helping foreign buyers structure ownership correctly for their specific situation.
What does it really cost — including all the fees? +
Our real estate service is free for buyers. The seller pays the realtor commission and all notary fees in Florida. We give you a detailed breakdown before you commit.
How does management work when I'm not on site? +
Our property managers handle everything on the ground — guest check-ins, cleaning, maintenance, repairs, and inspections. You receive monthly owner statements with bookings and income. Most owners visit once or twice a year; the rest of the time, the property earns.
