Testimonials

Dante is the real deal. He is everything you want in a top-flight real estate agent. Dante is authentic. Any real estate agent can tell you why a property is right for you; Dante’s not afraid to let you know why it might not be the best fit based on what he knows about you. And getting to know you is a big reason why he can do that so effectively. He asks you what matters to you and what doesn’t, and he puts that knowledge to work. When, with his help, you find the home you really want, Dante is a great strategist in helping you get across the finish line.

We can’t say enough about Dante’s professionalism, ability to communicate, focus and, most of all, patience. After reflecting on our recent home purchase, Dante runs on all cylinders. From the start of our journey, my wife and I were not always in lockstep regarding existing home vs. building, renting vs. owning, condo vs. house etc. As you can imagine, it took a special agent with a total understanding of the market to assist us in analyzing our needs and wants. Dante was phenomenal to work with and guided through our journey with the professionalism! Thx DD

“In preparing to sell our condo recently, we interviewed four realtors and decided to work with Dante because of his extensive market knowledge, genuine personality and past performance. We felt that Dante cared about us as individuals and always gave us honest feedback and set realistic expectations. In the end, we sold at the price we anticipated and the experience was very positive for us! In an industry flooded with tour guides, Dante raises the bar and delivers on his promise. I recommend him without reservation!”

Dante is the man! His knowledge of the Naples market and individual neighborhoods is superb. His willingness to steer us in the right direction, and look at the bigger picture was also extremely helpful.

Purchasing a second home during a global pandemic wasn’t always easy, but he made it seem that way. When we couldn’t get down to Naples to look at a few properties in person, Dante was nice enough to take videos of the properties along with his expert commentary.

Lastly, he and his team are truly top notch. The entire process was seamless as he was able to refer us to his excellent network of home inspectors, lawyers, and insurance people. We give him our highest recommendation and hope to work with him again in the future.

We recently closed on a home purchase in Naples working with Dante.  He is an elite real estate broker whom provided market supply and demand insight for all property types and locations. As a custom home developer, he provided counsel on building and renovation options. He is high energy, collaborative and always accessible. Pre and post-closing he introduced us to insurance brokers, lawyers and other resources we needed to purchase and manage a home in town. We were delighted with the process and outcome and give him our highest recommendation.

Although a relatively short timeframe of involvement, Dante was A+ in our view as a true partner in finding my wife and I a second home in Naples. He was extremely knowledgeable of the market and equally as connected with other valuable resources for an out of state buyer coming into Florida. He “had a guy” for pretty much anything we needed–insurance, lawyers, contractors, property managers / leasing agents, etc…he had it covered with multiple options and great results! For every call or emotional text he received from us, there was an almost instant response…day or night, workday or weekend this guy is at your service literally 24/7! Pleasant and unassuming, we NEVER felt pressured in any way to act. His reassuring demeanor was comforting in that we felt he was truly interested in us finding the right place…and not in merely closing a deal! I highly recommend Dante and look forward to spending time with him as a new friend in Naples!

My wife and I were very pleased with our choice of using Dante DiSabato for our real estate purchase in Naples. His superb diligence, intimate market knowledge, and best of all… his networks are second to none. Dante not only made the transaction successful, but also continues service beyond the closing. We fully recommend Dante for your real estate needs in Naples Florida.

As an out of state couple looking for real estate in Florida, we needed a professional with experience and substantial knowledge about the Florida marketplace. Dante DiSabato fit that bill. Dante began by understanding our objectives, including specifications and price range. He diligently identified various real estate opportunities in Naples and knew the market place very well from all perspectives. A large part of pursuing property in Naples required that we trusted our realtor and felt confident, otherwise we would not have moved forward. In the end, we were very pleased with the purchase of our second home and would highly recommend Dante DiSabato to anyone looking for real estate in Florida.

“Dante was referred to us by a friend and we could not have been more pleased with his professionalism and hard work.  With his knowledge of the local real estate markets we made quick work of getting to know Naples. We looked at a wide variety of properties before we settled in on the Grey Oaks Golf community. With Dante there is never any pressure to buy, just helpful market insight to assist us in making a decision in our time frame. Without Dante we never would have been able to get through so many different communities in Naples and find our preferred location in one weekend. He did his homework, took care of all the details, and helped us find the perfect home. In addition to finding the house, he has connected us with a wonderful interior designer and a professional contractor to assist in making the new house exactly how we want it. We can’t wait to get the remodeling completed and move into to our new house. Thanks Dante!”

“My husband and I are first time home buyers and couldn’t be more thankful that Dante was our Realtor! Dante was consistently available and walked us through the entire home purchasing process. Even with items outside his direct area, he went above and beyond to help educate us, and ensured we were investing in the home that best suited our needs.“

Dante worked with me on a recent purchase transaction in Naples. I’m very pleased with what he accomplished. He’s diligent, knowledgeable, reliable, resourceful, responsible and prompt. Buying or selling a house can be a complex transaction with many parts, but with Dante you’ll have an agent who is energetic and makes things happen, from finding a house to helping you close and move in. 

Naples can be a fast-moving market; if a customer is uninformed or ill-advised, opportunities can disappear. Dante understands this, and he’ll get you the information you want in a timely manner and follow through with everything. If he sees something that’s not right about a house, he’ll give you a candid opinion. He works long hours and he’ll do what’s necessary to help you accomplish your goals. And he’s not just professional; he has a sense of humor and is fun to work with. Dante is highly recommended and I’d certainly retain him again. 

Having spent only a short time in Florida, we purchased a new home in Old Naples our first visit. Our realtor, Dante, was amazing. From the very first day of him showing us properties we felt secure in knowing he was listening to our preferences while still allowing us the opportunity to explore all of Naples. His attention to detail, availability, promptness and genuine overall professionalism is outstanding. We look forward to working with Dante in the future.

“My husband and I were looking to purchase something in Naples. I was searching the internet and requested info on a particular property. Within 1 minute,(anyone who knows Dante knows how quickly he always responds)Dante called me and the rest is history! We came to Naples for a short trip to look at many options since we really weren’t quite sure what we wanted or what location we wanted either. Dante set up schedules for home tours all over Naples. He was so patient, professional, and reliable and with his expertise, helped us find our “perfect place”. We have never met anyone more dependable than Dante! We would highly recommend Dante to anyone…he is definitely Naples’ number 1 realtor!!”

Having bought multiple houses over the years in CT and FL we are very familiar with a real estate brokerage services. It’s safe to say that Dante DiSabato is by far the best broker we have ever had. After discussing our targets, Dante quickly assessed our needs and compiled a list of properties – lots and houses – that fit our search profile. Dante met with us every weekend during our 4-month house hunt to show us properties that were of interest and introduce us to the beautiful town of Naples and its neighborhoods. He was always available to chat and discuss specifics of each property and alter the search based on findings. His in-depth knowledge of local real estate market as well access and relationships with leading local builders and architects was absolutely invaluable for our decision making process. Additionally, Dante is very experienced in construction and development side of business and he was able to provide key insights into technical aspects of each property which we found very helpful. Post closing, Dante continues to provide superior service – incredibly important to us as we do not live in Naples yet – including managing various vendors, handling deliveries, recommending high-quality contractors (AV, closets, landscaping etc). He seems to know everyone and is highly respected by all. Throughout this process Dante has become a good friend. He is a true professional, mature beyond his years, we whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone seeking real estate brokerage service in Naples, FL.”

“We purchased a new home in Naples and used Dante. We now believe we would have made some very bad mistakes when buying a home had we not used him. He was prompt, patient, knowledgable, followed up and was always honest in steering us clear of problems that we never would have seen until it was too late. He was more concerned
about getting us in the right home than we were. We will recommend him to ANYONE even thinking of buying a home in this area. A professional in every way. My husband is a good businessman and at the end of our association with Dante joked he would buy stock in Dante if it ever came up for sale. A pleasure to work with!”

“We worked with Dante DiSabato recently to purchase our new home in Naples. We could not be more pleased with his services. Dante”s attention to detail, tenaciousness and professionalism is something that we found rare in realtors in the Naples area. From home selection, to showings to contract signing, Dante was there communicating with us every step of the way and working towards our goals.

Dante is a true rare breed in today’s real estate market and we would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family.”

“My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found the best realtor in Naples in Dante DiSabato! Our search for property began about 16 months ago and thanks to Dante we have found exactly what we were looking for. The two words that best describe Dante is hard working and patient. At the beginning, we had no idea what we wanted which made for a lot of work searching for properties without much direction as to location, price, design, ect. Then after finding something we thought would be a fit to the point of having a contract, only to decide on the last day of our option to cancel. Most realtors probably would have not wanted to hear from us again but Dante not only patiently started the process again with us but also helped us find local financing that took only 2 weeks to process our loan! To top all that, after closing Dante has availed himself and been very helpful in a smooth transition into our new home, assisting in answering questions, guiding us as we make our transition from Ohio to beautiful Naples! They say the best compliment anyone can give a business person is a referral and Dante and Encore Realty certainly has earned that from us!”

“Dante was a paragon of patience, especially considering we didn’t always seem to know what we wanted. Through honesty and expertise, he helped us to understand exactly what we were looking for. He continually educated us on the market and relentlessly searched for the perfect home that exceeded our expectations. He found us a home well beyond what we had in mind for a price well below what we had budgeted. We feel very fortunate to have worked with him and highly recommend him.”

“My wife and I made a decision to buy property in Naples. We were in town for a short trip, so we had significant time constraints. Fortunately, we enlisted Dante DiSabato as our real estate broker. His knowledge of the market and organizational skills helped us find a great property. On the front end, Dante helped us set realistic goals based on our price point, preferred location, must-have features and design preferences. Once we qualified our criteria, he put together a schedule of home tours that would meet our objectives. He did not waste any of our time looking at homes that were a stretch. It was a focused search and we found a home in short order. Once we found the one, we used Dante’s cadre of professionals to close the purchase. The final negotiations, inspections, financing, legal needs, and minor repairs went off without a hitch. Everyone executed on time, flawlessly. As a result, we closed earlier than anticipated. I would highly recommend Dante DiSabato to anyone interested in real estate in Naples or elsewhere in Florida. He is a personable, professional and dependable real estate broker. He has continued to provide value even after closing and will remain in our contact list.”

“My wife and I enjoyed the benefits of Dante’s services both in the listing, marketing and sale of our condominium in Old Naples and, the purchase of our new single family home. He knows and understands the market and how to get things done. His work between the signing of the sales agreement and closing was both necessary and outstanding! Simply, we strongly recommend Dante in your efforts to either sell your existing home or find a new place.”

“We’ve recently had the opportunity to purchase a new home in the Park Shore area in Naples Florida. We made contact with the listing agent Dante DiSabato. We had no previous experience with Dante or his real estate agency and we can’t express enough positive statements about the excellent service and responsiveness from Dante during this whole process. From start to finish he was extremely professional and helpful in every detail and we would highly recommend Dante to anyone considering the sale or purchase of a home in the Naples Area.”

His knowledge of area assisted us in selecting the best location and product to meet our needs. We would highly recommend Dante to anyone pursuing business or personal real-estate transactions in the Naples Area.”
