Driven Island family raises home from the dead

By
Real Estate Agent with Premier Florida Realty of SWFL

Sometimes I take a look at some of the homes I have sold in Fort Myers Beach. There is a such home on Delmar which has been transformed throughout the last couple of years. Yes, it was close to being an eye sore.Lets say it had an overall island charm buts its days were numbered.    

  The owners have a bit of an edge as the husband is the President of "Flowers Construction Services" and his wife is not afraid to give a hand whenever possible. That is when they are not taking care of their young three children, running the business or in her case teaching at the Fort Myers Beach Elementary School. The transformation is quite dramatic.They have managed to turn this "fixer upper" into a very attractive "tropical island home".

                    It is a large home and every inch has been guttered and remodeled. Actually some of the floor plan has been opened up and many retaining walls and beams have been replaced or added. A lot of the work was done by the husband himself or sub contracted under his supervision. Electrical, plumbing, tiled floors, landscaping, roofing, stucco work, blue prints, structural designs....you name it. This is what you can either call a labor of love or stubborn determination. They did it and it is something else.

     Perhaps next time they will let me take pictures of the inside. It even has a working fire place       which is not the norm in Fort Myers Beach. The inside is also "not to shabby" to say the least. It makes me smile when I bike by this home. These guys certainly improved their street.

That is so awesome that they have been able to "love" the home and give it a fresh new lease on life!  What a great story!

Michael: Thank you. That is so true. I did get lucky having so outgoing buyers. Its experiences like that that makes our job worth while. " Frog Realty"! That is a name that leaps forward!

Leesa: These owners are an inspiration. As a result they will make other owners on the street look bad. So they feel they also have to come to the plate.Nobady wants to own the ugliest home on their street! Its a win win situation. Improving your curb appeal does not have to be expensive.I bet you have some stories like that in Wake Forest area.
