Kimberly-Vincent Luxury Real Estate - February 2020

Find a Home You’ll Fall in Love With YOU’RE JUST 3 STEPS AWAY!

When you’re ready to shop for your next home, there’s no need to settle for “good enough.” You deserve a home you’re head-over-heels in love with, and we’re here to make it happen! After years in the real estate business, we’ve developed a foolproof strategy to help people find their dream homes. It’s only three steps, and the end result is true love, every time. STEP 1: CREATE YOUR LOVE LIST First, we ask each client to write down everything they’d love to see in their new home. Are you dreaming of ocean views? A library? Your very own boat dock? A dining room that seats 12? Golf course access from your front door? Write all of those things down. No dream is too small, and it’s impossible to have too many. STEP 2: SEPARATE YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS Now for the hard part. Take a look at your list and start highlighting the things you feel you absolutely need in order to make your home purchase worth it. For many of our clients, things like waterfront property, golf course access, Like the Olympics and presidential elections, leap years only occur once every four years, which is why many people look forward to Feb. 29. But there’s a lot that you might not know about this quirk on the calendar. WHY To keep the calendar in sync with Earth’s orbit around the sun, an extra day is added to it every four years. Earth takes exactly 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds to orbit the sun. Those extra hours add up over time, so another calendar day becomes necessary. But a leap year doesn’t occur every four years. Adding that extra day still doesn’t quite keep Earth on track, so the calendar skips leap years that occur during century years not divisible by 400. For example, 2000 was a leap year, but 2100 won’t be. WHO The odds of being born on Feb. 29 are 1 in 1,461. That means that of the roughly seven billion people in the world, only about five million of them are “leaplings.” The number of leaplings currently living in the U.S. is roughly

and turn-key condition are deal-breakers. Once you’ve highlighted your needs, you’ll know everything you didn’t highlight is a want. Maybe you need beach access but want a private beach. Or maybe you want your home to be both on the water and adjacent to a golf course. With the right property, both your needs and wants can happen (yes, gorgeous, private country club homes on the water exist here!), but having your priorities in order will make the shopping process easier. STEP 3: LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS At this point, leave the hunting to us! Hand over your list, and we’ll scour our beautiful city to

find homes that check off all of your needs and as many of your wants as possible. Our deep roots here in Naples mean we have access to dozens of little-known listings, and we’re ready to put all of our contacts to work to find you a home you’ll not only like, but love.

LEAP INTO 2020 FACTS ABOUT THE LEAP YEAR

187,000. Some famous leaplings include motivational speaker Tony Robbins, rapper Ja Rule, and singer Mark Foster of Foster the People. However, the most famous leapling is probably Superman. When you invent a super- being, you might as well give him a super-birthday. WHERE Anthony, Texas/New Mexico (a single town that straddles the two states’ borders), claims the title “Leap Year Capital of the World.” The city throws one massive birthday party for all leaplings but invites everyone to join the celebration. Two leapling neighbors from Anthony began the tradition in 1988, and it’s blossomed into a festival with thousands of participants every four years. It includes banquets, hot air balloons, a carnival, concerts, parades, and more. When you have four years to plan in between each shindig, there’s time to go big. Celebrate this leap year by doing something unusual or new. It’s a special day that doesn’t occur often, so make the most of it by doing something you’ll talk about for another four years.
