The Podcast
Shane Waterfront Wilson and host Charly Caldwell II on Florida waterfront living: the Keys, Southwest Florida, boating, and buying and selling homes on the water. Every episode includes a full transcript.
Shane shares recent stories from the closing table, from termites found on inspection day to insurance and hurricane questions, and the checklist buyers and sellers should work through before a waterfront deal closes.
Shane's wife and fellow broker Anne Wright Wilson and their Treasure Harbor neighbor Rachel Foreman join the conversation about building relationships in real estate, and what it's like to raise a family in Islamorada.
Recorded at Shane's home in Islamorada, this episode works down US 1 from Key Largo to Key West: which neighborhoods suit big boats, bay or ocean access through the creeks and cuts, canal widths and depths, and what seasonal rentals bring in.
A community-by-community tour of waterfront Fort Myers and Southwest Florida: McGregor Isles, Town and River, Palmetto Point, Gulf Harbour, Iona and more, plus seawalls, flood zones and insurance, and when Cape Coral is the better value.
Recorded in the tiki hut at Shane's Fort Myers home, Charly and Shane work through ten areas of living an exceptional life, from having a clear vision to the values that shape how Shane runs his business.
Fresh off a listing appointment, Shane walks through how to price a waterfront home when the market softens, what sellers ask him, and why knowing each community's water matters, including the shallow canal mouths that can trap a big boat in otherwise deep neighborhoods.
Shane tells the story of growing up on the water in Key Largo in a family of Realtors, builders and developers, and how 33 years of selling waterfront homes in Fort Myers and the Florida Keys grew out of it. He explains his "what's your application?" method for matching people to the right boat, water and neighborhood.
