Shelley Addessi, Realtor®, CMS

My husband and I are relocating from New Jersey and we chose punta Gorda as our new destination. We had a very bad experience earlier in the day and we decided to just pop in and we were introduced to Shelly. She was most helpful in every way. Although she doesn't handle rentals, she took the time to show us what was available and gave us a very clear idea of the area we were interested in. I would highly recommend her for any real estate needs and if we choose to buy someday we would definitely give her a call. It's not easy finding a rental in punta Gorda, we still haven't found one but with Shelly's help I'm sure we will.

Shelly worked with me in December and got me 2 lots one in Port Charlotte and other in Okeechobee. Very professional and detailed. Follow up with a buyer is OUTSTANDING!!!! I got lucky to find this agent because she made my purchases headaches free and this is rare! I had to HUNG up on 6 agents until I found a gem Shelly in Punta Gorda who made my purchases as easy as spreading butter on bread. Look no further this agent gets the deal DONE ! VERY SATISFIED AND WILL CONTINUE USING SHELLY'S BUSINESS. Plus this agent can work on a deal in another parts of FL not just south west. Great agent, great deals!

Shelly is the best Real estate agent we have ever dealt with. She is such a good professional, so reliable, so nice and integrity! We are so lucky -She made our dreams Home come true ?? ?

I've only had one other experience with a real estate agent and it was not good. Working when Shelley was a joy. She seemed to honestly care about my needs and concerns. When I told her that I had made a mistake by not bidding on a property we had looked at, she got in touch with people in the community to see if anyone would be selling in the next six months. That was above and beyond. Shelley knew that this was my first time buying real estate and she was patient and helped me crystallize what kind of property I wanted and what town worked best for me. I feel as though I've made a friend for life and I would use her again for any real estate issues and I would recommend her to any of my friends.

We lucked into finding the best realtor for the Punta Gorda area, the area in which my husband and I were looking for our winter home. Shelley Addessi was organized, professional, knowledgeable, and cheerful. She responded to our questions in a timely manner over the three and a half month searching and buying period. She also helped steer us to wonderful restaurants and stores in the area. We would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed.

We met Shelley at a open house last November. When we walked up to the home as Shelley was getting ready to close down for the day, we were rushing not to hold her up, she said " please take your time its my job to be here for you and to assist in anyway possible". You might expect this from someone that is trying to sell a home but I can say she meant every word of it. We were selling a farm in Tennessee and moving to a location we had dreamed about for many years. Shelley was there for us every step of the way. She listened to all of our wishes, concerns and wants in a dream home. She also stepped in to assist the agent that was listing our home in Tennessee. She stayed in constant contact with us to make sure we were informed on market conditions. Referring us to others to assist and make our move as smooth as possible. Our move took 7 months, we looked at so many properties in different areas. When we would get discouraged Shelley would say, " the right home will find you". We truly ran her to death and she never once showed any frustration. Shelley wanted what was best for us, not to just sell a home and move on. Once we found our dream home she walked us through all the ins and outs of what we would need and also helped set up all the referrals. Truly Full Service! When our deal on our home in Tennessee looked to be falling apart, she assisted in helping find solutions to put the deal back together. Shelley not only has us as a lifetime customer, I can say we have made a lifetime friend. I could not imagine using anyone else for any real estate needs. You hear people say " you just can't get good service anymore", these people have never used Shelley Addessi.

Shelley exudes professionalism from the moment you meet her. She is so organized that a complex process becomes simple. For example, Shelley gave us a detailed timeline of our due diligence period to ensure a smooth process. She also scheduled additional inspections and all of our estimates. We have been buying/selling homes for 18 years with realtors in the Florida and Cleveland, Ohio markets. After our transaction was over, my husband said "Shelley is the type of realtor that every realtor should aspire to be!" This is the highest praise I have ever heard my husband say about anyone. In short, if you are looking for the "right" realtor, look no more! You found her!

Shelley is very professional while also being very down-to-earth and relatable. I trust what she tells us because I know that she researches questions to find the correct answer. The best part of our experience was feeling important and that we were her only client although we knew we weren’t. She communicated with us on a regular basis and most of all was very prompt in tending to our interests in property. She was prompt in meeting the preposterous deadlines that are present with some of these bidding requests present today. Shelley never pressured us and always made us feel that she would be with us no matter how long it took for us to find a home. 

OMG ! Shelley is the Best person I had the pleasure to be MY realtor . I live in Elmira NY so my purchase was sight unseen but I knew I could put my trust in her to be “ My boots on the ground “ and is she ever a Blessing to me . This condo has been my dream for 40 years . I know as a Newbie to Florida I know I can count on Shelley !

Without Shelly Addessi we probably would still be searching for a home. Shelly met with us and paid special attention to our needs. We explained we had no place of our own and needed a home quickly. Shelly immediately created a portal and tailored it to my individual specification. She had us looking at homes the very next day. Her knowledge and experience guided us through all phases of purchasing a home. I was impressed with her skill in contracts and how quickly she created and amended them. Shelly's resources in the trades help answer questions on the spot allowing us to make decisions very quickly. Shelly started out as our realtor but is now a close friend. I have purchased and sold homes in the past but no one compares to Shelly. Thanks for coming into our lives.

If there were more than 5 stars for Shelley the sky would be the limit. She was with us every step of the way. We were novices when it came to selling; everything was explained to us, she was always available for our questions and patient with even the smallest details. We couldn’t do it without Shelley. She is the essence of professionalism, knowledge and commitment to her career. We sing her praises to everyone. She not only sold our home, but we’ve gained a lifelong friend.

Without Shelley's help I most likely would still be looking. Shelley knew the area and kept me informed on all properties that met my requirements. Additionally, Shelley has a great personality and a can-do positive attitude. I really appreciated her assistance finding my forever home.

We had a wonderful experience with Shelley. We began our search in January, not being exactly sure what we were looking for. We met up with Shelley and saw 3 houses the first day and also a model home that we really liked. We considered buying at this point and Shelley provided us with all the information we needed to move forward. However, the time frame became too far out with new construction and we resumed our home search. Shelley spent many of her weekends showing us homes in an area we thought we wanted to be. We put in many offers on homes (many of them above asking) and they all fell through for various reasons. One of them being an 11th hour offer on a home we were sure we were going to get. Shelley was ever patient and optimistic and assured us we would find the right house. After seeing a home in Burnt Store Marina we really liked, but was already under contract, we decided that this was the neighborhood we wanted to be. We missed out on another couple of opportunities but Shelley kept us focused and assured us that something would come up in the marina. She was absolutely right as the first house we had looked at went back on the market and we were able to come to a mutual agreement after some long negotiations in which Shelley worked nights and weekends to help us hammer out. We ended up with a beautiful house that we wanted in the neighborhood we wanted. Shelley is knowledgeable, professional, and proactive. We feel like we made a friend in the process and couldn't ask for more in realtor.

I want to take this opportunity to sing out praises to Shelly in the Punta Gorda office. We started the process back in June when we were here on vacation. Shelly had properties lined up for us to view and when we couldn’t find the right place at the time she continued to send us places, conducted FaceTime tours for us. When we went back and forth looking at houses and condos she always had our best interest in mind and eventually, we found what we wanted.    Then of course the sell-buy odyssey began and she was right there. Shelly made what could have been a nightmare alright. Whatever you are paying her it’s not enough.    If and when we decide to move again your company and especially Shelly will be our first phone call.Thank you, Marc Shankman  

Shelley was outstanding from start to finish and did a wonderful job throughout the closing process. Shelley was a huge help every step of the way and I'd highly recommend her to anyone within Charlotte County! Thank you so much, Shelley!

Shelley was awesome, very involved and helpful. Very knowledgeable and made things easy for us to understand.

Shelly is the best Real estate agent we have ever dealt with. She is such a good professional, so reliable, so nice and integrity! We are so lucky -She made our dreams Home come true ?? ?

Shelley was a pleasure to work with .We relocated from Chicago to Florida. Shelley went above and beyond what any realtor would do . We were in town for one week and Shelley cleared her calendar to take us to look at any house we were interested in and we found our home that week!! She continued to help us in every stage of getting set up . We would recommend Shelley to anyone looking to buy a house or land in southwest Florida.

Goes above and beyond expectations just an incredible agent!

Shelley is amazing! She is professional, knowledgeable and fun. I came to her with some narrow criteria and she hung in there for 14 months off and on, until I found the perfect home. She came to the showings having done research beyond the listing info. She would point out the good, bad and ugly and there was never any pressure for me to buy. But when we showed up at the closing inspection and the older couple was not ready she really excelled. Other realtors would have just called the listing agent and said make it right. She went above and beyond and made it right. She helped them get moved out and worked out a solution to close and fund and get me in the house on schedule. Thank you Shelley! Five stars is not enough.

Shelley recently helped us find and purchase our new vacation and future retirement home during the height of COVID-19. Our mortgage loan officer referred her to us as we live out of state and did not know very many people in the area. Shelley asked us a lot of questions to learn about our wants and needs as well as setting us up on a portal to review available homes online. She never made us feel pressured and she was not pushy. Once we found a home we were interested in, she arranged for a video tour. Suited up with facemask, gloves and video gear she took us through the home virtually. She was so thorough we felt as though we were actually there. She was very response to the extensive list of questions we sent her and quickly sought out the answers to any she didn’t already know. Shelley was very proactive and out front of the situation leading us through the entire process. Her extensive resources/professional references helped us choose additional services we needed such as lawn and pool care. Purchasing a home, especially from a distance during a pandemic is stressful. Shelley was very professional but at the same time friendly and fun. Her competence enabled us to enjoy the experience and make our dream come true. We would not have been able to make this happen without her. She exceeded our expectations.

Shelley has been more than helpful for us. Always there for any questions we have. I would highly recommend Shelley for any of your real estate needs.

Shelley was an awesome agent. She worked so hard to make our new home and life in Florida a possibility. I consider her a new friend in Florida. I would highly recommend her. I give her a resounding 5 star.

I recently relocated from South Dakota. My realtor in SD hooked me up with my realtor in Punta Gorda. I am sure glad she did.the out come was simply the best. Shelly Addessi was my realtor,and I can tell you very sincerely that she is without a doubt one of the most profe3ssional realtors I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She was always prompt to return answers to any concerns that I had. She truely was with us every step of the way, as promised. To make a long story short she is just the best and I would recomend her to anyone who wants a great realtor.Thank you Shelly keep up the Great work.

Shelly in our mind deserves more than five stars. We have never worked with a real estate agent that went above and beyond like Shelly did. Having bought and sold ten properties in our life we feel well qualified to make that claim. In this crazy COVID world we are living in now we purchased our condo in Plantation Golf and CC unseen. Shelly was wonderful in easing our concerns with a walk through video of the property going over every nook and cranny answering every question we had. When we made our offer and it was accepted ( which also got a little complicated) the inspection was scheduled and Shelly was there also for that along with the inspector answering all our questions. We then came to Florida from Texas for our walk through and closing. At this time Shelly was going through a very tough illness and was not able to be with us. She arranged another agent who was great also to get us through the process. Even though being very sick she stayed in touch with us right through the closing. We stayed at our property for three weeks and were so pleased that Shelly was able to come visit us, bringing beautiful gifts and stayed with us for a couple of hours. What a wonderful conversation it was as we both got to talk about our life paths. If we know of anyone seeking property in that area of a Florida we will highly recommend Shelly. She was the best agent we have ever dealt with, a true professional.
