Bella Collina Partners with Premier Real Estate Agents

By Scott Kauffman

Most master-planned residential developments have in-house real estate teams or partner with local or national brokerage firms to sell their homes and home sites. Not Bella Collina, one of Florida’s preeminent private waterfront and golf club communities situated just 20 minutes west of downtown Orlando.

In a unique marketing move, the new Bella Collina recently launched an innovative real estate sales approach by aligning itself with a team of elite real estate professionals from some of Central Florida’s leading brokerage firms. Each real estate agent is being provided with multiple real estate listings to market at Bella Collina, including various custom-home lot categories, built-to-suit homes and newly built spec homes.

Agents were selected based on their industry expertise, knowledge of the local market and sales volume.

“We look forward to partnering with some of Florida’s leading real estate agents and brokers,” says Randall Greene of DCS Investment Holdings, the owner and operator of Bella Collina. “This innovative new approach is bound to take Bella Collina to the next level.

Following is the group of agents and firms now partnering with Bella Collina on the development’s unique sales program:

• Broker-Associate Erin Wanner of Stockworth Realty Group, Windermere, Fla.
• Sales Associate Frank Del Toro of Suzi Karr Real Estate, Windermere, Fla.
• Realtor Barbara Vance of Re/Max Town Centre, Windermere, Fla.
