What do Clients Say?

“Alysia was amazing from the very first moment we met her. She won over several other Realtors because she came in with a great plan and a vision for executing the plan. She kept an open line of communication with us throughout so we always felt secure in where we were in the process. Selling our house was as much a testament to her work as it was to ours. We would be thrilled to have Alysia be our Realtor again in the future.”

Kevin & Jennifer S. (home sellers)

“From the first day we met Alysia for the purpose of selecting a Broker and the firm that we felt we could work well with and provide the service we wanted to handle our sale, we immediately knew Alysia was the one. Going forward from that day to the day of closing, she handled herself as a professional ready to help in any way necessary. Alysia was able to provide us with contacts from house cleaners to movers to repair companies of any trade we needed; she knew how to get the job done. Alysia always followed up in a very timely manner after every showing with the good and the bad comments from prospective buyers keeping us in the loop. The only negative to working with Alysia was that our home sold quick (thanks to Alysia) and we no longer receive text messages and phone calls from Alysia.”

Frank & Gina P. (home sellers)

“Alysia was aware we were considering the sale of our home and quickly reached out to a prospective buyer with whom she was familiar. The prospective buyer came to see the house within 2 days and we had an agreement to sell our home 2 days later, at full asking price. Within a very short time thereafter, Alysia successfully negotiated and secured our new home on the beach.”

Steve & Ann B. (home sellers & buyers)

“Our process was fairly long and largely done remotely. Alysia was patient, informative, professional and just overall fantastic from start to finish with us.”

Bob & Marinez B. (home buyers)

“After helping us purchase the home in Naples we had long admired, we had Alysia assist us with the sale of our other Naples home. Knowing that we were competing with new construction in our neighborhood, Alysia made every effort to make our house standout in the marketplace. When an interested buyer viewed the home on multiple occasions but had yet to present an offer, Alysia approached us with a bold strategy: to make an offer to the buyer. We did, and as a result, we sold our house in record time. Alysia’s intelligence and out-of-the-box thinking made it happen.”

About Alysia

I help retirees, snowbirds, and second-home buyers decide if—and how—to purchase a home in Naples, Florida.

Whether you're considering a second home, relocating full-time, or trying to balance life between two homes, I provide clear, practical guidance so you can make confident decisions without wasting time or making costly mistakes.

Most of the buyers I work with are:
– Retirees planning their next chapter
– Snowbirds looking for a winter home in Southwest Florida
– Out-of-state buyers relocating from the Northeast or Midwest
– Second-home buyers deciding between part-time and full-time living

If you’re trying to figure out whether Naples is the right fit—or how to make the move work—I can help you think through the decision clearly. I don’t just help you find a home—I help you understand what life here actually looks like.

From the real costs of owning a second home, to choosing the right community, to navigating the pros and cons of living in Southwest Florida, I focus on the decisions that matter long after the purchase.

I’m Alysia Shivers (ah-LEE-sha), a Naples Second Home and Retirement Specialist serving Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero.

I’ve lived in Naples since 2000 and since 2011 I’ve been helping buyers purchase second homes and relocate to Southwest Florida. I’m also the author of “Moving to Naples: The Un-Tourist Guide,” a resource designed to give buyers a more honest, practical view of life here.

People are drawn to Naples for the sunshine, the lifestyle, and the escape from colder climates—but the decision to buy here is about more than just the weather. It’s about how you want to live, how often you’ll be here, and whether owning a second home truly fits your long-term plans.

If you’re considering a move to Naples or exploring a second home in Southwest Florida, I’d be happy to help you think through your options and guide you every step of the way.

Common Questions I Help Buyers Answer:
– Should I buy a second home or rent?
– Is Naples right for full-time retirement?
– What are the real costs of owning here?
– Which communities fit a part-time lifestyle?
