– Nick K. –

“As a broker with Premier Sotheby’s out of state, I certainly could have chosen a local Premier Sotheby’s agent to list my home in Windstar on Naples Bay. But after reading Kara’s outstanding reviews and speaking directly with several of her clients, including fellow Windstar members, I knew I specifically wanted to work with her. From our first meeting, I was confident I made the right decision. She brought exceptional marketing, relentless work ethic, and deep market knowledge to the table and in a challenging market where many homes in Windstar were just sitting (and still are!), she got mine sold. Kara exceeded my expectations in every way. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell a property in Naples.”

“If you need to buy or sell anything in Naples, Kara Heaslip is your girl, especially if you are living in The Bayshore Arts District or Windstar on Naples Bay, she is the ultimate expert. There is no other person as capable, and will do what needs to be done, to help you in anyway more than Kara. She is way more than a boutique realtor. She is the heart & soul of this unique area. Kara is a total professional with a heart of gold. No regrets going with her on multiple properties in Naples. Thank you so much Kara!”

“Kara was wonderful to work with during my condo purchase. She answered every message immediately, and she responded to my needs both honestly and patiently. She found time to work with my busy schedule, and to make this remote sale (from 1500 miles away!) seamless. Thank you so much, Kara.”

“Selling my property was not an easy decision. I had owned it for over 20 years, and it held so many memories—it was a true part of my life. But the time had come to close that chapter and begin a new one in England. Even though it’s bittersweet to leave Naples, the experience I had with Kara Heaslip definitely helped make the transition easier. When I was considering selling, I immediately thought of Kara Heaslip with John R. Wood. One of my dear friends, who lived in the same neighborhood, had sold his home through Kara a few years ago. She sold it in just 48 hours. He was so impressed that he told me, and I quote, “If you ever decide to sell your property, the only realtor you need to contact is Kara Heaslip.” He couldn’t have been more right. Kara listed my property and had it under contract within just six days. She is a consummate professional—an absolute pleasure to work with, with endless knowledge of the real estate market and a wealth of creative ideas to market the property. I felt completely confident in her hands every step of the way. I’m so thankful to my friend for recommending her—Kara truly exceeded every expectation I had. If you’re thinking about selling your home, I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

– Barry C. –

“As a real estate broker with over 35 years of experience, I have exceptionally high standards when it comes to professionalism, marketing, and execution. When I decided to sell my Lely Resort home, I knew I needed the absolute best realtor in Naples—someone who could meet my expectations and deliver outstanding results. I interviewed numerous agents, but from the moment I met Kara Heaslip, it was clear she was the right choice. Her marketing strategies were far superior to anything I had seen in my career, and the level of exposure she created for my property was truly unmatched. Thanks to her expertise, my home had an incredible number of showings, and I received a full-price cash offer with a quick, seamless closing. Having worked with countless real estate professionals over the years, I can say with certainty that Kara is, bar none, the best. If you are selling in Naples, there is no one I would recommend more highly.”

“I’ve sold over 12 properties in my lifetime, and I can confidently say that working with Kara Heaslip was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had with a realtor. From start to finish, Kara demonstrated unmatched professionalism, market knowledge, and a genuine passion for what she does. Her in depth understanding of my neighborhood of Windstar on Naples Bay set her completely apart from any other realtor I interviewed. Her marketing strategies were absolutely top-notch, bringing in multiple qualified buyers quickly and showcasing my property in ways I never thought possible. Every detail was handled flawlessly, from pricing it just right to negotiating with skill and confidence. What truly sets Kara apart is their dedication. She was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and guide me through the process. She made me feel like I was her top priority every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who will exceed your expectations and deliver results beyond what you imagined, look no further than Kara. She is simply the best in the business!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our real estate agent! With multiple full price offers, we sold our home is 6 days and closed in 14 days with a cash deal. We are so happy we selected Kara Heaslip from John R Wood Properties to sell our home. From the research that helped us set the price, to the advice given to prep and stage our home, to the digital marketing that had buyers rushing to make offers, Kara managed every detail brilliantly. Kara also attended each and every showing to ensure she could showcase our home. If you are ever in the market to sell or buy a home, call Kara to get the job done.”

“Just want to say thanks a million for your amazing work selling our house in Naples, we are seriously sad that we had to leave but you really made the move and selling much smoother and painless. When you entered our house the first time it was like getting a tornado indoor but in a very positive way, you knew exactly what to do and this gave us such a comfort, we did not even wanted to negotiate the fee because it was worth every penny and remember its always wine time!”

– Peter Kristensen –

“Kara Heaslip is the most capable and effective real estate agent we could imagine. She listed our house for sale in a community that has had unreasonably modest and often below par price growth over the years in Naples. Kara is a strong believer and advocate of the value of the Windstar community, knows it well and sold our home for the highest sale price of any Windstar home since 2007. She is extremely professional, responsive, gracious and determined for the best ever successful outcome. Would we recommend her – you bet!!!”

– Richard & Jane Hemmings –

“Kara was so thoughtful, energetic and diligent, that she made our home listing and sale go swiftly and smoothly. Kara has excellent ideas over pricing, photographs, prepping/staging, listing and advertising our home. Plus, she works tirelessly and she is a great communicator and listener! She really takes advantage of the latest technology to advertise our property to not just a wide audience, but to an audience that is desirous of our home’s features! Kara developed multiple offers for our home, and she oversaw the entire inspection, move-out and closing process. Kara did ALL of this in the middle of the COVID-pandemic. She was like an angel to our family! Kara is one of the most generous and honest and creative persons that we have ever worked with professionally! If you are looking to either sell or purchase a home, look no further than Kara.”

– John & Karen Herrmann –

“We are so lucky to have Kara work with us she understands her clients needs and goals and is always brainstorming! Her ability to think outside of the box is incredible and she is not your average Realtor. She exceeds expectations consistently and without fail. We know we can put our trust in her and she will always strive to make sure you are not only satisfied – but ECSTATIC with your transaction. We can’t wait to work with her on our next venture……and more than likely, Kara will undoubtedly bring it to us before we even know we are ready. We are so proud of her hustle and love being her clients!!!!! Kara is the best there is……PERIOD!”

“Kara Heaslip was the most amazing and perfect realtor for us when it came to selling our home. She went above and beyond and I’m confident that she was key to us selling so quickly (12 days) and for top dollar! Her knowledge and work ethic were unmatched in the business! All I can say is we couldn’t have asked for anything more in a realtor!”

– The Malones –

“Kara is the best Realtor that I have ever had the pleasure to work with! She was my mother-in-law’s agent when she was looking to relocate from VA to Naples. Kara was so knowledgeable of the market and really listened to what my MIL wanted in her forever home. She made it happen! We can’t say enough about Kara. Our experience was amazing. Yours will be too. Thank you, Kara!”

– The Bealls –

“This is our third real estate transaction with Kara Heaslip and every one of them has been an extremely positive experience. Kara brings a wealth of knowledge about Naples as an almost life long resident and together with spending time upfront with her clients to get a good sense of their interests, she is able to make solid recommendations on appropriate properties to see. She is on top of every detail – scheduling appointments, providing detailed information on each property and related community amenities and most importantly giving her honest assessment and evaluation based on her vast market experience. One of the things which I think sets her apart from many others is her involvement and assistance in the closing process. In addition to her professionalism, she is so much fun to work with making the experience enjoyable as well as successful. We will continue to use Kara for any future real estate transactions and highly, highly recommend her!”

– Breant & Carla Clarkson –

She was honest, efficient and thorough in helping us navigate the process of buying and selling. As a result, our purchase went seamlessly and our sale went fast!! Her tireless energy is contagious and makes a time that could potentially be stressful, quite enjoyable! I highly recommend Kara.”
