McGreevy and Comisar represent buyers in Waterford-Worthington Way, and this is the buyer’s guide we hand every client before a first tour. Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Bonita Springs office about 15 minutes from the Worthington gate.
This guide is for buyers of Waterford-Worthington Way, the 92-unit, two-story Waterford condominium association on the main street of Worthington Country Club, the gated bundled golf community in Bonita Springs, Florida. Every owner is a club member, 68 of the 92 units face the golf course, and the buildings sit about 300 meters from the clubhouse. Our neighborhood guide covers the buildings and their history; this page covers how to buy here well: which plan and view fit you, what a unit costs to own, what the county record says units sell for, and how the club approval and Florida condo rules work from the buyer’s side of the table.
Before you choose an agent for this purchase, compare the ones who work this market: we publish the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs, compared on the public record.

Our buyer guides for Waterford Amberley Court and Waterford-Cavendish Court are built the same way, and our Worthington Country Club buyer’s guide covers all nine neighborhoods.

Buying a condo in Waterford-Worthington Way takes three choices and one budget. You choose a floor, a plan and a view among four Waterford plans in eight buildings, and you accept bundled golf. The budget is the price, about $247,500 at the 24-month median, plus a $12,500 capital contribution and $20,246 a year in dues and minimums.
Every purchase here is a resale. The eight buildings were completed in 1994 and 1995, there is no developer inventory, and only ten units recorded qualified sales in the last 24 months, so the Lee County Property Appraiser’s recorded sales are a complete record of what has traded (LeePA Last Qualified Sale layer, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). That also means every buyer is buying a 30-year-old unit, and the questions that matter most are the association’s roof and reserves, the unit’s window protection, and its condition.
Here is the purchase in one paragraph. You sign a written buyer agreement before touring, as the NAR settlement practice changes now require. You tour with the plan and view you want in mind. You write an offer from this association’s recorded sales, with an inspection period and the condominium documents in hand. The association issues an HOA Certificate of Approval before closing (Purchaser’s Packet, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). At closing you pay the $12,500 capital contribution, and you walk out a full golf member (2026 Fee Schedule).
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor choice for a Waterford-Worthington Way buyer because we price an offer from this association’s own recorded sales, floor by floor and view by view, and we know its roof, dues and approval steps before you tour. Marc Comisar leads buyer representation, and Jesse McGreevy reads the same sales from the seller’s side.

Recent Waterford-Worthington Way record (last 12 months, September 2025 through August 2026): 6 qualified resales recorded by the Lee County Property Appraiser · $1,260,000 in total dollar volume · sales from $100,000 to $265,000 · 24-month median $247,500 across 10 sales.

We track the Waterford-Worthington Way market for a buyer from the public record first: every qualified sale the Lee County Property Appraiser has recorded on the 92 units, matched to building, floor, plan and view on the county’s cost cards, then checked against live MLS inventory in all three Waterford associations.
Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales and cost cards, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
A qualified sale is one the appraiser treats as an arm’s-length market transaction. We pulled the county cost card for all 92 units, so the floor, plan, view and porch type of every condo are known (LeePA cost card example; LeePA parcel roll, retrieved 26 Sep 2026).
We print a median only when a window holds ten or more sales, starting at 12 months and widening to 24, 36 or 60. For Waterford-Worthington Way the first window with ten sales is 24 months. Where fewer than ten sales sit in a group, we list the sales.
Days on market, sale-to-list ratio and active inventory come from the Southwest Florida MLS. For the 24 months of closings from 29 Sep 2024 to 29 Sep 2026, the 10 Worthington Way sales there show a median of about 190 days on market and 90.9% of final list price, and the 25 Waterford condo closings in the last 12 months show 93 days and 91.8%. For your search, we pull them live for your plan across all three Waterford associations.
The Waterford-Worthington Way market for buyers right now is thin and negotiable: six units recorded sales in the 12 months through August 2026, from $100,000 to $265,000, and the 24-month median of $247,500 sits about 13% below the 60-month median of $285,000. Buyers have more room than in 2023.

Six sales totaled $1,260,000. The $100,000 sale in June 2026 sits far below every other sale here since 2021; the record does not say why, and a buyer should not expect to repeat it.
Window ending August 2026 | Recorded sales | Median sale | Median $ per heated sq ft | Dollar volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
12 months | 6 | Too few sales for a median | n/a | $1,260,000 |

Prices peaked at $389,000 in February 2023 and have eased since, so a 2026 buyer is buying below the peak with more negotiating room than a 2023 buyer had. Mortgage rates change weekly; check the current national average on Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey and ask your lender early about this specific association, because condo loans depend on the association’s questionnaire.

A Waterford-Worthington Way condo costs $100,000 to $319,900 on the last 24 months of recorded sales, and where a unit lands depends on plan, floor, view and condition. Three-bedroom end units took the three highest prices, from $282,500 to $319,900; two-bedroom units ran from $100,000 to $265,000.

In each 12-unit building, ground-floor units are xx01 to xx06 and upper-floor units xx07 to xx12, with the three-bedroom ends at xx01, xx06, xx07 and xx12. Building 15 at 13651 Worthington Way holds 8 units.
Buildings 12 through 17 face the golf course, 68 units in all; Buildings 18 and 19 face a lake, 24 units. The lake buildings produced both a $285,000 sale and the $100,000 outlier in the last 24 months, so price a lake unit from its condition, not from one sale.
Two ground-floor interior 2/2 units in golf-view buildings recorded at $180,000 and $265,000 eleven weeks apart. The difference is condition and updates, and it is why we inspect the unit, not the plan, before we suggest a price.
Waterford-Worthington Way prices and costs sit in the middle of Worthington’s five condo associations: the highest recent Waterford price per square foot, $201.41, with mid-range dues of $6,188, and about $150,000 less at the median than the Wedgewood carriage homes, which have garages and larger units.

Waterford-Worthington Way and Waterford Amberley Court sell the same four floor plans, so the choice comes down to view, location, amenities, dues and roof age. Buy Worthington Way for the fairway and the clubhouse walk; buy Amberley for local tennis and pickleball, lower dues and a lower entry price.

Buy here if the fairway view and the short walk to the clubhouse are the point, if you play golf more than tennis or pickleball, and if you will carry about $1,328 more a year in dues for them. It is the Waterford address with the most golf frontage per unit.
Buy in Waterford Amberley Court if you want your own association’s tennis and pickleball courts, lower dues and a lower entry price for the same plan, and a lake view or a longer walk is fine. It has more units, so more resales to choose from. Our Waterford Amberley Court buyer’s guide covers it in full.
Waterford-Cavendish Court is the third option with the same plans: the highest dues in Worthington at $7,712, its own pool and pickleball, the same 2008 roof era, and the lowest recent Waterford price per square foot, $176.74.
Buying a condo in Waterford-Worthington Way runs in eight steps: a buyer agreement and consultation, financing and a budget that includes the dues, choosing plan and view, touring, the offer, inspections and condominium documents, the HOA Certificate of Approval, and closing with the $12,500 capital contribution.
Since August 17, 2024, agents who are MLS participants must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home together, stating the compensation in a clear, objective way (NAR, The Facts, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). We walk you through ours at the first meeting, then set the brief: floor, plan, view, budget and whether you will rent the unit.
A Waterford-Worthington Way budget is the price plus closing costs plus $12,500, and a carrying cost of $20,246 a year in dues and the club minimum before tax and insurance. A financed buyer should get pre-approved before touring and ask the lender about this association early.
Upstairs or down, two bedrooms or three, fairway or lake: we narrow the list before you tour, so every showing is a real candidate.
Visitors are logged in at the staffed main gate on Bonita Grande Drive; the north gate is for residents only (Purchaser’s Packet). Open houses run only Saturday and Sunday afternoons, so most showings are by appointment (Open House Guidelines).
We price the offer from the recorded sales closest to your plan and view, cross-checked against the other two Waterford associations, and we write in who pays the capital contribution and the resale fee.
Order a home inspection, a four-point and a wind-mitigation inspection, and read the condominium documents during the inspection period: the declaration, bylaws, rules, the year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions document.
Every Worthington sale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from the neighborhood association, and Waterford-Worthington Way charges a $150 resale application fee. Build that step into your closing date.
At closing you pay the $12,500 capital contribution, or $1,306 if you already own in Worthington, and your dues start. The club then sets up your gate barcode and membership.
Owning a Waterford-Worthington Way condo in 2026 costs $6,188 a year in association dues plus $13,058 in Worthington master dues, or $19,246 a year (about $1,604 a month), before a $1,000 food and beverage minimum. A new owner also pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution and a $150 resale application.
Data updated: September 2026 (Worthington 2026 Fee Schedule and 2026 HOA Fee Schedule, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
The 2026 master dues are $13,058 per unit per year: $8,957 operating, $501 business capital and $3,600 capital reserves. The 2025 figure was $12,910 (2026 Fee Schedule).
Year | Per quarter | Per year | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
2024 | $1,339 | $5,356 | n/a |
2025 | $1,476 | $5,904 | +10.2% |
2026 | $1,547 | $6,188 | +4.8% |
Sources: 2024 HOA dues schedule, 2025 association assessment spreadsheet, 2026 HOA Fee Schedule. At the 1,184-square-foot average unit, $6,188 is about $5.23 per square foot a year.
A buyer who closes in 2026 and leases a cart would budget $6,188 + $13,058 + $1,000 = $20,246 in recurring club and association charges, plus the one-time $12,500 capital contribution and $150 resale application, for $32,896 in year one before property taxes and insurance. Property taxes follow the unit’s assessed value; the 2025 total millage for the City of Bonita Springs and Bonita Springs Fire district is 12.7970 mills (LeePA 2025 Millage Book). There is no community development district (Lee County special districts).
The association does not post its budget, reserve schedule, insurance program or any special-assessment history publicly; those sit behind the owner login on Frontsteps (Worthington Real Estate files). We found no public record of a special assessment, but absence from the record is not proof. Ask the seller to pull them before you sign, make the contract contingent on reviewing them, and read the estoppel certificate.
Waterford-Worthington Way’s roofs date to September 2008, when the City of Bonita Springs finaled tile re-roof permits for seven of the eight buildings and the pool house, so they are about 18 years old. A buyer should ask the association for its roof plan, the roof reserve balance and any assessment under discussion.
Data updated: September 2026 (City of Bonita Springs permit portal, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
City permits 08BOS-TRA00976 through 08BOS-TRA00983 were issued on September 18, 2008, all “REROOF/TILE” and all finaled, covering 13611, 13621, 13630, 13631, 13640, 13641 and 13651 Worthington Way and the pool house (City of Bonita Springs permit portal). No roof permit was found for Building 12 at 13601 Worthington Way; ask the association about it.
Association | Last full re-roof found | Roof age in 2026 |
|---|---|---|
Waterford-Worthington Way | September 2008, tile | About 18 years |
Waterford-Cavendish Court | October 2008, tile | About 18 years |
Waterford Amberley Court | October 2009, concrete tile | About 17 years |
Wedgewood-Sherburne | April to July 2011, tile | About 15 years |
Wedgewood-Fountain | July to September 2025, tile | About 1 year |
The pool was resurfaced and retiled in 2025, the pool deck was expanded by 882 square feet in 2013, and a fire alarm panel at the pool house was replaced in 2014. A 2025 impact-window replacement at 13621 Worthington Way shows owners hardening units one by one; ask each seller what their unit has.
You check flood zone and insurance for a Waterford-Worthington Way condo in two steps: confirm FEMA Zone X on the parcel, which applies across Worthington, and price an HO-6 unit-owner policy for the interior while the association insures the buildings. HO-6 policies are exempt from Citizens’ flood mandate.
Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; Lee County Property Appraiser, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer returns Zone X on FIRM panel 12071C0678F, effective August 28, 2008, at the Waterford sample point, and a test of roughly 800 Worthington parcels found none inside a Special Flood Hazard Area (FEMA NFHL flood zones; FEMA NFHL panels, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The association sits in Lee County evacuation Zone C and storm-surge zone 3 (LeePA Evacuation Zones; Lee County, Zone C).
The building shell is the association’s to insure under its master policy, paid through the dues. Your HO-6 covers what the declaration leaves to the owner, typically interior finishes, fixtures, personal property, loss assessment and liability. Read the declaration’s insurance article for exactly where the line falls.
Florida phases in a flood-coverage requirement for Citizens personal residential policies (Section 627.351, F.S.), but Citizens confirmed that “condominium units insured under a condominium unit owners form will no longer be required to obtain flood coverage” (Citizens Property Insurance). A Zone X flood policy is still worth pricing, with Bonita Springs’ CRS Class 5 discount of 25% (FEMA CRS list, April 2025).
Worthington sits at a 160 mph design wind speed inside the wind-borne debris region (LeePA wind layer), and the buildings predate the first statewide Florida Building Code of March 1, 2002 (Florida Building Commission). Ask for the unit’s wind-mitigation report; opening protection is unit by unit.
Florida’s milestone structural inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study do not apply to Waterford-Worthington Way, because both start at buildings three habitable stories tall and every Waterford-Worthington Way building is two stories. Ordinary reserve rules and the duty to post official records online still apply to the association.
Milestone inspections apply to buildings “three habitable stories or more in height” (Section 553.899, F.S.), and the SIRS to buildings “three habitable stories or higher in height” (Section 718.112, F.S.; DBPR, Condominium Inspections). House Bill 913 (2025) tied the rules to habitable stories (Florida Senate, HB 913 summary).
All 92 county cost cards give floor 1 or floor 2, 46 each, and the improvement type is “Condominium, Low Rise, 1 to 3 Floors.” These are the appraiser’s codes; the declaration’s building exhibits are the definitive check, and nothing we found suggests a third habitable level.
Section 718.112 still requires reserve accounts for roofs, painting and paving, which owners may vote to waive or reduce because no SIRS is required. With 92 units, the association must post official records on a website or app (Section 718.111, F.S.); the club points owners to Frontsteps. Ask whether reserves have been waived.
The rules that decide whether a Waterford-Worthington Way condo works for you are the leasing limits, the 25-pound pet limit and the no-pets rule for renters, carport parking with no truck or boat storage, dumpster trash, and the club’s approval of every buyer.
Leases run at least 30 consecutive days except in February, no more than one year, at most four a calendar year, furnished, with association and club approval; the rental packet is due at least 30 days before occupancy, and fees include a $100 master application, $350 processing, a $150 association fee and a $300 to $500 amenities transfer fee (Rental Forms; Rules and Regulations, rev. Aug. 28, 2025). Whether the association’s own declaration adds limits is not public; ask before you buy with a rental plan.
Owners may keep a household pet such as a dog or cat of no more than 25 pounds; renters and guests may not keep pets (Year 2024 Master Declaration; Purchaser’s Packet). Confirm with the HOA office at (239) 495-2278.
Parking is by carport, and club rules say carports are not fully enclosed structures, so trucks, boats and similar vehicles may not be stored in them. Trash goes to a shared dumpster. The condo associations provide interior pest control and the Master Key locksmith program, and homes are served by Quantum Fiber and DirecTV.
For a Waterford-Worthington Way buyer, Florida disclosure law means the seller owes you the condominium documents under Chapter 718, and you have 3 business days after receiving them to cancel. The homeowners’ association summary under Section 720.401 does not govern the condo unit itself; the closing agent confirms which master papers travel.
Section 718.503 requires the unit owner to give the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the association’s most recent year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions document; the buyer may cancel within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after receiving them or before closing, whichever comes first (Section 718.503, F.S., retrieved 26 Sep 2026).
Section 720.401 governs homeowners’ associations and does not apply to Chapter 718 condominiums (Section 720.401, F.S.). Because Waterford-Worthington Way is also a member of the Worthington Master Association, which operates as a homeowners’ association, your closing agent or real estate attorney confirms which master documents come with the sale. The same answer appears on our Waterford-Worthington Way seller’s guide.
The seller must give you a flood disclosure at or before the contract (Section 689.302, F.S.) and a property tax summary warning that a sale can reset the assessment (Section 689.261, F.S.). The association’s estoppel certificate states what is owed on the unit and any assessments levied (Section 718.116, F.S.). None of this is legal advice.
We find you the right Waterford-Worthington Way condo by setting the plan, floor and view first, watching all three Waterford associations for the same plan, reaching owners before a listing goes public when we can, and inspecting each unit’s condition, windows and lanai before you write an offer.
Decide between a 2/2 and a 3/2, upstairs or down, fairway or lake. That narrows 92 units to a shortlist, and it tells us which recorded sales will set your price.
Because Waterford Amberley Court and Waterford-Cavendish Court sell the same plans, we set your saved search across all three associations. If the right unit is not on Worthington Way this season, you will see the same plan next door.
With few sales a year, the best units sometimes move before the public listing. Our Domain Realty Group database and our Worthington seller relationships mean we hear about some owners who are thinking of selling before they list.
We look at the kitchen, baths, air conditioner, water heater, window protection and the lanai, screened porch or acrylic enclosure, because those decide whether a unit is a $180,000 unit or a $265,000 unit.
We negotiate for you in Waterford-Worthington Way from the recorded sales: we price the offer against the closest plan-and-view sales, ask the seller to share the $12,500 capital contribution where the market supports it, and turn inspection findings on a 1994 unit into price or credits.
A listing priced off the 2023 peak, or off the $319,900 April 2025 sale, is not priced off the current market. We bring the ten recorded sales in the 24-month window to the table.
The 2026 fee schedule lists the $12,500 capital contribution as due from the new owner. On a unit near $247,500, that is about 5% of the price, and it is a fair item to negotiate.
A 30-year-old unit will show wear. We use the four-point and wind-mitigation findings to negotiate, and we ask for the association’s roof plan before the inspection period ends.
Seasonal sellers often include furniture or a golf cart. We value them separately so they do not complicate your appraisal.
Buyer closing costs in Waterford-Worthington Way have two parts: the usual Florida costs of a purchase and the club’s own charges. The Worthington-specific ones are the $12,500 capital contribution for a buyer new to the community and the $150 resale application, plus prorated dues and taxes.
A financed buyer pays Florida documentary stamp tax on the note at 35 cents per $100 of the loan and the nonrecurring intangible tax at 2 mills (Section 201.08, F.S.; Section 199.133, F.S.; Florida Department of Revenue). A cash buyer pays neither. The deed stamp is customarily a seller cost in Lee County (Section 201.02, F.S.). Add lender fees and the lender’s title policy if you finance, recording fees, inspections and prepaid insurance.
Charge | 2026 amount | When |
|---|---|---|
Capital contribution, new owner | $12,500 | At closing |
Capital contribution, existing Worthington owner | $1,306 | At closing |
Resale application fee | $150 | With the application |
Master dues | $13,058 a year, prorated | From closing |
Association dues | $1,547 a quarter, prorated | From closing |

Buyer representation after the NAR settlement works on a written agreement signed before you tour. Since August 17, 2024, agents who are MLS participants must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home together, and it must spell out the compensation, which is negotiable and not set by law or the MLS.
The National Association of REALTORS® summarizes the practice changes on its consumer page, NAR, The Facts, retrieved 26 Sep 2026.
We explain our agreement at the first meeting and state what we will be paid and how. Where it helps your position, we ask the seller to cover buyer-agent compensation as part of your offer. Unless you agree otherwise in writing, a Florida licensee works with you as a transaction broker (Section 475.278, F.S.).
You see every Waterford-Worthington Way condo on the market today through our team’s live listings site, which pulls from the Southwest Florida MLS, filtered to Worthington. We do not print a list here, because with ten sales in two years, inventory changes weekly and a static list is stale in days.

Waterford-Worthington Way is the right place to buy if you want a golf-view condo flat near the clubhouse with full bundled membership at a condo price. It is the wrong place if you need local tennis or pickleball, a garage, a large dog or a newer roof.

The third review above is the Waterford buyer we meet most often: someone who wants the club, not the largest house inside it. That buyer was matched to a place that fit, without being pushed up a price band, and then helped to settle in. In Waterford-Worthington Way that means choosing between a $235,000 upstairs 2/2 and a $285,000 three-bedroom end on the evidence, and knowing the dues and roof story before the offer.
A Waterford-Worthington Way specialist matters because this association’s prices, dues and roof story differ from the other two Waterfords on identical plans, and a general Bonita Springs agent will price all three as one. A specialist knows which buildings face the course, which roof permit is missing and what the last ten units sold for.

These are the questions buyers ask most about Waterford-Worthington Way. Every answer is drawn from the sections above and current to September 2026.
A 92-unit condominium association inside Worthington Country Club in Bonita Springs, Florida: eight two-story buildings on Worthington Way, built in 1994 and 1995 as Waterford IV and V, governed by Waterford-Worthington Way, Inc.
The 24-month median is $247,500, the mean of $245,000 and $250,000, across 10 recorded sales from $100,000 to $319,900, at a median of $201.41 per heated square foot.
Six units, September 2025 through August 2026: $250,000, $245,000, $180,000, $265,000, $100,000 and $220,000.
Yes, from the 2023 peak. The record is $389,000 in February 2023, and the 24-month median is about 13% below the 60-month median of $285,000.
Buyers have more room than in 2023: prices sit below the peak and sales are thin. The right unit still may come up only once a season, so set alerts before you need them.
1,076 to 1,312 heated square feet, average 1,184. The 2/2 plans are 1,076 downstairs and 1,204 upstairs; the 3/2 plans are 1,222 downstairs and 1,312 upstairs.
Upstairs units are larger for the same bedroom count and carry the longer view; ground-floor units open straight onto a screened porch with no stairs. The county values upper units higher.
68 of the 92, in Buildings 12 through 17, carry a golf-course view on the county cards. The 24 units in Buildings 18 and 19 face a lake.
Association dues are $1,547 a quarter, $6,188 a year. Master dues are a separate $13,058, for $19,246, plus a $1,000 food and beverage minimum.
$5,356 in 2024, $5,904 in 2025 (up 10.2%) and $6,188 in 2026 (up 4.8%).
A new owner pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution and a $150 resale application. A buyer who already owns in Worthington pays $1,306 instead of $12,500.
Yes. Worthington is a member-owned bundled golf community with no equity fee, and every owner is a club member through the master dues.
Not at the association level. Owners use the club’s five Har-Tru tennis courts, and the club plans new pickleball courts for 2027 to 2028.
Yes. The association’s pool at 13632 Worthington Way was resurfaced and retiled in 2025, with a deck expanded by 882 square feet in 2013.
The roofs date to September 2008, about 18 years old. No permit was found for Building 12, so ask the association about it and about the roof plan.
No. Both apply to buildings three or more habitable stories tall, and every Waterford-Worthington Way building is two stories.
We found no public record of one, which is not proof. The budget and reserves sit on the owner portal; ask the seller and read the estoppel certificate.
FEMA Zone X on panel 12071C0678F, and no Worthington parcel sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area. It is in evacuation Zone C.
A lender will not require it in Zone X, and HO-6 policies are exempt from Citizens’ flood mandate. An optional policy is worth pricing, with the city’s 25% CRS discount.
An HO-6 condo unit-owner policy for interiors, contents, loss assessment and liability. The association insures the buildings through its master policy.
Yes, for at least 30 consecutive days except in February, up to a year per lease, at most four times a year, furnished, with association and club approval.
Owners may keep a dog or cat of up to 25 pounds. Renters and guests may not keep pets.
No. Parking is by carport, and trucks, boats and similar vehicles may not be stored in carports.
Same plans. Worthington Way has more golf views (74% against 57%), higher dues ($6,188 against $4,860) and a higher 24-month median ($247,500 against $221,250); Amberley has its own courts.
About 14 minutes to Bonita Beach Park and about 28 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport in free-flow traffic.
McGreevy and Comisar of Domain Realty Group, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, price offers from this association’s own recorded sales. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
These are the questions buyers ask when a sale and a purchase have to line up. For the selling side, call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
Yes. We can write your offer with a sale contingency or a timed closing, and line up both closings so you move once.
No. An existing Worthington owner buying another home inside the gate pays $1,306 instead of $12,500 under the 2026 fee schedule.
Use our Waterford-Worthington Way valuation page or the Worthington Country Club valuation guide, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
It depends on space and budget. Wedgewood units are 1,446 to 1,576 square feet with garages, at a $401,000 24-month median at Wedgewood-Sherburne, against $247,500 here.
Yes. Jesse leads the listing and Marc leads the purchase, so both run on one calendar.
Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100, the negotiated commission, title charges and estoppel fees. At $247,500, the deed stamp is $1,732.50.
Listing by early November puts your current home in front of the first seasonal buyers while you tour here.
