Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club - Valencia

Updated June 2026 · Neighborhood market data from a live Stellar MLS Matrix pull, June 2026 · By Jesse McGreevy & Marc Comisar — McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor team for Valencia at Miromar Lakes — and we say that with the only credentials that matter: a verifiable record in this community, ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. If you own a Valencia coach home and are thinking about selling, here is the honest picture: three Valencia residences closed in the trailing 12 months at a median of $700,000, while seven are actively listed right now — the highest active count of any neighborhood in the community. In a market like that, pricing strategy is not a detail; it is the whole game, and nobody reads the Valencia spread — first floor versus second floor, lake view versus landscape view, updated versus original — better than we do.

If you're buying, Valencia is the answer to a question we hear every week: "What is the most attainable way into Miromar Lakes?" These Centex-built coach homes on Valiant Court sit just inside the main gates of Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club, on the Estero–Fort Myers line in southern Lee County — and they carry exactly the same beach, lake, club, spa, and dining privileges as the community's $4 million estates. This guide covers the residences, floor plans, fees, views, the head-to-head against the community's other attainable neighborhoods, live June 2026 market numbers, and more than 40 frequently asked questions.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for Valencia

Right now 7 residences are actively listed at a median asking price of $779,000 — the most active inventory of any neighborhood inside Miromar Lakes.

Key Takeaways

The eight facts that matter most about Valencia at Miromar Lakes, up front:

• Miromar Lakes' most attainable front door — Centex-built coach homes on Valiant Court, just inside the community's main gates, with full access to the same five-star beach, lake, club, and spa amenities as every estate in the community.
• 3 sales in the trailing 12 months (Stellar MLS, June 2026): median $700,000, range $700,000–$875,000, median 119 days on market.
• 7 active listings at a median ask of $779,000 — the highest active count of any Miromar Lakes neighborhood, which means real selection for buyers and a pricing-discipline imperative for sellers.
• Two product tiers: first-floor residences of roughly 1,548–1,654 square feet (2 bedrooms + den, single-level living off the garage) and second-floor residences of 2,134–2,297 square feet (3 bedrooms + den), every home with an attached 2-car garage.
• Built by Centex Homes during the community's original construction cycle, with original closings recorded in 2002 and 2003 — established landscaping, an established association, and a fully built-out street.
• Fees per current listings: master association approximately $2,300/quarter plus a Valencia condo fee of approximately $1,500/quarter, with a $10,000 one-time club fee and $250 capital contribution at closing — confirm exact current figures via estoppel before closing.
• Lake views are the neighborhood signature — most residences overlook water or mature tropical landscaping, minutes on foot or by cart from the Golf Clubhouse area.
• Inland insurance advantage: east of I-75, roughly 10–12 miles from the open Gulf, outside the coastal surge band — with RSW airport about 10–15 minutes from the gate.

Why Valencia Is Miromar Lakes' Most Attainable Front Door

Valencia at Miromar Lakes is the community's value entry point: Centex-built coach homes that currently list between roughly $619,000 and $899,000 — the lowest-cost path into a community whose overall median sale is $1,345,904 — while carrying the identical beach, lake, club, spa, dining, and social privileges as every other address inside the gates.

That last clause is the entire thesis, so it is worth slowing down on. Miromar Lakes does not tier its amenities. There is no "premium beach" for estate owners and a lesser one for coach-home owners; no separate dining room; no second-class membership card. The master association funds one set of amenities — the three miles of private white-sand beach, the 10,000-square-foot infinity pool, the European spa, the marina, the Beach Clubhouse that the National Association of Home Builders once named the #1 clubhouse in the United States — and every resident enjoys them on equal footing. A Valencia owner who paid $700,000 reserves the same beach cabana, books the same spa treatment, and dances at the same galas as the owner of a $4.2 million lakefront estate.

Which means Valencia is best understood as an arbitrage on lifestyle: for buyers whose primary goal is the Miromar Lakes experience — the water, the sand, the social calendar, the security, the location — rather than maximum square footage, Valencia delivers the highest amenity-per-dollar ratio in the community. It is where first-time second-home buyers land, where downsizers from larger Miromar homes quietly relocate, and where snowbirds who intend to spend their days at the beach rather than in their kitchens park their Florida dollars.

There is a second, quieter argument for Valencia in June 2026: selection. With seven active listings — the most of any neighborhood in the community — buyers can actually compare floor plans, floors, exposures, and finish levels side by side, something that is rarely possible in Miromar's scarcer enclaves. We walk that comparison with our buyers unit by unit. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will line up all seven.

The Valencia Neighborhood, Plainly Described

Valencia at Miromar Lakes is a neighborhood of approximately 160 coach homes arranged in two-story buildings along Valiant Court, positioned just inside the community's main entrance off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway — steps from the Sales Gallery and a short ride from the Miromar Lakes Golf Club and Beach Clubhouse.

The setting is established and finished. Valencia was built during Miromar Lakes' original construction cycle, so the streetscape carries what newer sections cannot: mature royal palms, filled-in tropical landscaping, and a settled, complete feel. Addresses run along a single street — Valiant Court — with buildings overlooking lakes and landscaped greens. The official community master plan places Valencia in the heart of the community's arrival sequence: you pass the gatehouse, and Valencia is among the first neighborhoods you reach, with the Golf Clubhouse, practice facilities, and the community's commercial conveniences close at hand.

The product is classic Southwest Florida coach home: multiple residences per building (unit numbers run 101 and 102 on the ground floor, 201 and 202 above), each with its own attached two-car garage and private entry. First-floor residences live like single-story homes — you pull into your garage and walk straight into your living space, no stairs. Second-floor residences trade the stairs-up entry for more space, higher ceilings under the roofline, and elevated views over the water.

Governance is through the Valencia at Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club Condominium Association, Inc. — an active Florida not-for-profit corporation registered with the State of Florida in 2002, operating under a declaration of condominium recorded in Lee County's official records. The association maintains building exteriors, roofs, and grounds; owners maintain their interiors. That maintenance structure is a feature, not a footnote: it is what makes Valencia genuinely lock-and-leave for seasonal residents.

One naming note that trips up out-of-state buyers: Valencia's mailing address is "Miromar Lakes, FL 33913" — the community has its own postal designation — while the MLS files it under the Fort Myers area (FM21). Physically, you are in unincorporated Lee County on the Estero–Fort Myers line, immediately off I-75 at Corkscrew Road and Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. Same place, three labels. We explain this constantly, so do not let it confuse a search.

Floor Plans and Residences

Valencia at Miromar Lakes offers two distinct living formats: first-floor residences of roughly 1,548 to 1,654 square feet with 2 bedrooms plus a den, and second-floor residences of 2,134 to 2,297 square feet with 3 bedrooms plus a den — every home with an attached two-car garage and a screened lanai.

The first-floor residences are Valencia's single-level-living answer. At approximately 1,548–1,654 square feet under air, the typical configuration is two bedrooms plus a den (which most owners furnish as a third sleeping space or office), two full baths, an open main living area, and a screened lanai off the rear. The defining practical feature: zero stairs. You enter from your garage or your front door at grade, which makes these units the natural choice for buyers planning to age in place, for anyone with mobility considerations, and for owners who simply prefer ranch-style living. In recent transactions, first-floor units have generally represented Valencia's most attainable price points — current first-floor listings have asked in the low-to-mid $600,000s.

The second-floor residences are the space play. At 2,134 or 2,297 square feet, the standard configuration is three bedrooms plus a den with two to two-and-a-half baths — genuinely enough room for a primary suite, two guest rooms, and a dedicated office. The trade is a private stairway entry from your foyer at ground level. What you get in return, beyond the extra 500–700 square feet: volume ceilings under the roofline, no neighbors above you, and elevated sightlines — the second-floor lanais catch longer water views over the landscaping than their ground-level counterparts. Second-floor units have driven Valencia's upper price band, with recent asks from the high $700,000s to just under $900,000, and the neighborhood's top recorded resale in the past 12 months — $875,000 — was a second-floor residence.

What buyers should compare unit to unit. Because Valencia's floor plans repeat across the neighborhood, the variables that actually move value are: floor (first versus second), view (lake versus landscape), exposure (western rear exposures catch sunset light over the water), end-unit versus interior position (end units add side windows and natural light), interior condition (original 2003 finishes versus renovated kitchens and baths — the spread between the two is substantial), and furnishings (many Valencia residences trade turnkey-furnished, a real convenience for out-of-state buyers). Two listings with identical square footage can be separated by $150,000 or more on these factors alone. This is exactly the unit-by-unit analysis we run for every buyer and every seller — call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will show you the math on the current inventory.

A documentation note: Valencia residences are legally condominium units within lettered buildings and phases under the recorded declaration. That matters at contract time — condo financing rules, association approval, and estoppel certificates all apply — and we cover what that means in Buying & Selling Mechanics below.

What You Actually See from a Valencia Lanai

The signature view at Valencia at Miromar Lakes is water: most residences overlook one of the neighborhood's lakes, framed by mature royal palms and tropical landscaping, with second-floor units catching longer elevated sightlines and first-floor units sitting close enough to the water to watch wading birds work the bank.

Current and recent listings tell the story in their own words — "lakeside," "overlooks a lake," "stunning lake views" recur across Valencia marketing because the neighborhood's buildings were laid out along internal lakes rather than packed back-to-back. The view experience varies meaningfully by position, though, and this is where walking the neighborhood beats scrolling photos:

• Rear lake exposures are the premium: open water off the lanai, sunset light on western exposures, and the privacy of water rather than a neighbor's wall behind you.
• Landscape and garden exposures trade open water for lush, mature plantings — quieter in the visual sense, often slightly gentler on price, and preferred by some owners for shade and privacy.
• Second-floor lanais see over the foreground landscaping to longer water panoramas; first-floor lanais trade panorama for immediacy — you are at the water, not above it.
• End units add side-window light and, on some buildings, angled secondary views.

What you will not get at Valencia, candidly: the open mile-wide vistas of Lake Como itself. Those belong to the waterfront estates and beachfront condominiums priced two to ten times higher. Valencia's views are intimate lake views — and the big water is a five-minute cart ride away, every day, included. One more practical note: the all-neighborhoods guides floating around the internet sometimes describe Valencia with golf-course views; the listings themselves consistently market lake and landscape views, and the golf course proper runs through other sections of the community. Trust the lanai you stand on, not the brochure — we will stand on it with you.

The Centex Build Story and Construction History

Valencia at Miromar Lakes was built by Centex Homes — one of the nation's largest production builders, operating through its Southwest Florida division in Bonita Springs — during the community's original construction cycle, with original purchaser closings recorded in 2002 and 2003.

That origin matters for three practical reasons. First, construction era: Valencia went vertical in the early 2000s under the post-Andrew generation of Florida building codes — concrete block construction with the wind-resistance standards of that code generation. It predates the 2023-era codes governing Miromar's newest coach homes, but it is decades newer than the 1980s product that dominates much of coastal Lee County's condo stock. Second, production-builder DNA: Centex built repeatable, efficient floor plans — which is why Valencia's units compare so cleanly against each other and why the neighborhood functions as a true market with reliable comps, rather than a scatter of one-offs. Third, full build-out: there is no remaining developer inventory, no construction traffic, and no future phase risk inside Valencia. What you see is the finished neighborhood.

The corporate history adds a small footnote buyers occasionally ask about: Centex Homes merged into Pulte in 2009, so there is no active builder warranty relationship today — Valencia is a pure resale neighborhood, and condition assessment falls to the inspection process. After twenty-plus years, the variables that matter at purchase are the ones inspections and association records reveal: roof age and replacement history (an association responsibility — ask for the schedule), air-conditioning and water-heater age (owner responsibility), original-versus-updated electrical and plumbing fixtures, and the association's reserve funding for exterior components. Florida's post-2021 condominium reforms also mean structural inspection and reserve-study documentation is increasingly standardized for associations of Valencia's vintage — we pull and read those documents on every transaction we touch.

The flip side of a 2002–2003 build is the renovation spread. Original-finish units and fully renovated units sit side by side on Valiant Court, sometimes $100,000–$150,000 apart. For buyers, that is an opportunity to choose your entry point: buy renovated and turnkey, or buy original at a discount and update to your own taste. For sellers, it is the central pricing question — and the reason a one-size-fits-all price-per-square-foot approach fails in Valencia. We comp renovated against renovated and original against original. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for the honest read on where your home sits in that spread.

Fees and the True Cost of Owning at Valencia

Owning at Valencia at Miromar Lakes involves four cost layers: master association dues of approximately $2,300 per quarter, a Valencia condominium fee of approximately $1,500 per quarter per current listings, a one-time $10,000 club fee plus $250 capital contribution at closing, and CDD assessments that appear on the annual Lee County tax bill.

Layer one — the master association. Approximately $2,300 per quarter (per current MLS listing data) funds everything that makes Miromar Lakes what it is: the private beach and its maintenance, the 10,000-square-foot infinity pool, the Beach Clubhouse, the spa and fitness facilities, the marina infrastructure, the 24/7 staffed gate and patrols, the landscaping of the common grounds, and the professionally managed social calendar. This is the fee that buys the five-star experience — and it is the same fee structure whether you own at Valencia or on an estate lot.

Layer two — the Valencia condominium association. Approximately $1,500 per quarter per current listings, covering what coach-home ownership outsources: building exterior maintenance and painting, roof maintenance and replacement reserves, building insurance on the structures, grounds and lake-bank maintenance within the neighborhood, and association administration. Because the association insures the buildings, an individual owner's insurance burden is limited to an HO-6 "walls-in" condo policy — typically a fraction of the cost of insuring a comparable single-family home. This is a major and under-appreciated line item in Valencia's total-cost advantage.

Layer three — the one-time club entries. Community-wide, buyers pay a $10,000 one-time mandatory club fee and a $250 capital contribution at closing. Budget for them; they are part of every Miromar Lakes purchase.

Layer four — the CDD line. Miromar Lakes' community infrastructure (roads, lakes, drainage) is financed through Community Development District assessments that appear on the annual property tax bill from the Lee County Tax Collector rather than as a separate invoice. The amount varies by parcel; we pull the exact CDD line for any unit you are considering.

What is optional: golf. The Arthur Hills Signature course is a separate membership with a $140,000 initiation fee and its own waitlist dynamics — see the golf section below. No Valencia owner is required to join; the beach, pool, spa, dining, tennis, pickleball, marina, and social privileges all come with the master association dues.

A disciplined caveat, because we would rather be right than tidy: published fee figures — including ours — age quickly, and third-party sites are routinely wrong. The numbers above reflect current MLS listing data as of June 2026. Before you write a contract, the controlling figures are the ones in the association's estoppel certificate and current budget. We obtain and review both on every Valencia transaction — call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will pull the parcel-specific picture for any unit on Valiant Court.

Miromar Lakes Community Amenities — Everything Valencia Residents Access

Every Valencia at Miromar Lakes owner holds full, equal access to the community's complete five-star amenity suite — the private beach, the award-winning Beach Clubhouse, three dining venues, the infinity pool, the European spa, the marina, racquet sports, and a professionally curated social calendar — with no premium tier above them and nothing held back.

The roll call, for buyers comparing Valencia against amenity packages elsewhere in Southwest Florida:

• The Beach Clubhouse — named the #1 Clubhouse in the United States by the National Association of Home Builders, with indoor-outdoor dining, a library, billiards and card rooms, a 50-seat private theater, a business center, and a ballroom for the community's signature events, all opening directly onto the beach.
• Three distinct dining venues — the open-air Blue Water Beach Grill on the sand (arrive by boat or barefoot; happy hour, live music, dancing), the Beach Clubhouse dining room, and the Tuscan-inspired Golf Clubhouse restaurant. Three full-service options without leaving the gates.
• The 10,000-square-foot zero-edge infinity pool overlooking Lake Como — among the largest residential community pools in Southwest Florida, maintained to resort standard year-round.
• The European Wellness Spa — full-service massage, facials, body treatments, and a complete salon with credentialed therapists on staff.
• Fitness center — cardio, strength, and scheduled classes daily, with professional staff.
• The Marina on the Peninsula — gated boat storage, slip rentals, on-site and mobile fueling, powerboat and sailboat rentals, guided fishing excursions, and a boat-concierge service. Valencia owners do not need to own waterfront to live the boating life; the marina makes the whole 700-acre lake theirs.
• Seven lighted Har-Tru tennis courts — recently renovated, with year-round leagues, lessons, and tournaments through the Racquet Club — plus dedicated pickleball and bocce in multiple locations.
• A botanical park, walking paths, and the 50-seat private theater for resident screenings.
• A year-round professional social calendar — galas, themed parties, wine dinners, holiday celebrations, tournaments, and clubs. This is the engine that turns a address into a community; Valencia owners are famously active in it.
• 24/7 guard-gated security — staffed gatehouse, around-the-clock patrols, and controlled visitor access. Valencia's position near the main gate means residents feel this layer daily, in the best way: you are inside the envelope within seconds of arriving.

Step back and the comparison practically writes itself: in much of coastal Southwest Florida, $700,000 buys a condo with a community pool and a fitness room. At Valencia, it buys all of the above. The community has earned more than 200 national, state, and local awards — including the only NAHB Gold Award "double" in U.S. history for both #1 Community and #1 Clubhouse — and Valencia is the least expensive key that opens every one of those doors.

The Lake Como Beach Experience, Day by Day

Valencia at Miromar Lakes owners live minutes from the community's defining amenity: Lake Como, a 700-acre freshwater lake reaching depths of 26 to 40 feet, ringed by roughly three miles of private white-sand beach — boating, water skiing, fishing, and beach life with zero public access, entirely inside the gates.

Here is what that means on an ordinary Tuesday. Morning: walk or ride to the beach, claim a lounge chair or your reserved cabana, and swim in clear freshwater — no salt, no jellyfish, no rip currents, no red tide, and no seaweed line. Midday: lunch at the Blue Water Beach Grill, toes still sandy. Afternoon: take out a rental powerboat or kayak from the marina, water-ski the open lake, or drop a line for bass, bream, and catfish. Evening: sunset cruise, then live music and dancing back at the Grill. None of it requires a tee time, a bridge, a parking search, or a single mile on a public road.

The lake itself is the point of difference. Most Southwest Florida "lakes" are shallow retention ponds; Lake Como is a single contiguous 700-acre body, deep and clear enough for genuine water sports, with marina infrastructure — gated boat storage, slips, fueling, boat concierge, rentals, guided fishing — that makes boat ownership effortless and boat non-ownership irrelevant. Because the lake sits entirely within the gated community, there is no public ramp and no outside traffic, ever.

One honest note for boaters: Lake Como is an internal freshwater lake with no Gulf access. Boating here is lake boating — superb for water sports, fishing, and sunset cruises, but it does not connect to the Gulf of Mexico. For most Valencia buyers this is a feature: all of the water, none of the salt-air corrosion, surge exposure, or coastal insurance premium. For dedicated offshore anglers, it is the one trade-off to weigh — and we will tell you so directly.

For Valencia specifically, the beach is the great equalizer. Your coach home may be the community's most attainable product, but your beach day is identical to everyone else's: same sand, same cabanas, same grill, same sunset. That is the deal Valencia buyers are actually making, and it is a remarkably good one.

Golf at Miromar Lakes — How Membership Works for Valencia Owners

Golf at Miromar Lakes is a separate, optional membership to the Miromar Lakes Golf Club — home of the only Arthur Hills Signature championship course in Southwest Florida — with a $140,000 initiation fee and a membership waitlist; no Valencia at Miromar Lakes owner is required to join, and every other amenity is included regardless.

The course itself is worth the fuss: a par-72 championship layout of up to roughly 7,100 yards from the tips (rating 74.1, slope 137), with six tee sets that keep it playable from about 4,500 yards forward, TifEagle Bermuda greens, white-sand bunkering, and water woven throughout. Arthur Hills reserved his "Signature" designation for a select handful of his designs worldwide, and this is the only one in Southwest Florida. The Tuscan-inspired Golf Clubhouse — its interior by Juan Montoya, named among Architectural Digest's Top 100 interior designers — anchors the experience with a full pro shop, teaching professionals, practice facilities, and golf performance training. The club is 100% private: residents and members only, no outside play. For Valencia owners the geography is a bonus — the neighborhood sits in the community's arrival corridor near the Golf Clubhouse, so members on Valiant Court have one of the shortest rides to the first tee in Miromar Lakes.

The membership mechanics — read this carefully if golf matters to you. Golf membership carries a $140,000 initiation fee (annual dues additional and subject to change) and is managed through the club's Director of Membership with a waitlist. The single most important nuance: buying a new-construction home at Miromar Lakes can bypass the golf waitlist, while resale buyers — which includes every Valencia buyer — may face it depending on current demand. If golf-from-day-one is non-negotiable, that distinction could shape which home you buy and how we structure your search. If golf is a someday-maybe, Valencia's economics are unbeatable: own the community's most attainable address now, join the waitlist if and when the itch arrives, and play the practice facilities conversation by ear. Either way, confirm the current fee schedule and waitlist status directly with the club before you write a contract — figures circulating online go stale fast. We track this in real time for our buyers: call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will tell you exactly where the list stands this month.

Valencia versus San Marino, Mirasol, and Bellini — the Attainable Tier Compared

Valencia at Miromar Lakes competes most directly with three sibling neighborhoods in the community's attainable tier: San Marino (the value floor, median $547,500), Mirasol (beachfront mid-rise condos, median $745,000), and Bellini (waterfront coach homes, median $1,440,000) — and the right answer depends on whether you prioritize price, beach, or space.

Valencia versus San Marino. San Marino is Miromar's absolute entry point — six sales in the past year at a median of $547,500 against Valencia's $700,000. The roughly $150,000 spread buys Valencia's position near the main gate and golf clubhouse, its coach-home format with attached two-car garages and private entries, and its larger second-floor plans up to 2,297 square feet. Budget-first buyers should walk both; buyers who want the garage-attached coach-home living format usually land at Valencia.

Valencia versus Mirasol. Nearly identical money — Valencia's median sale is $700,000, Mirasol's $745,000 — for two completely different lives. Mirasol is a mid-rise condominium directly on Lake Como's sand: elevator living, beach out the lobby door, the only freshwater beachfront condo product in Southwest Florida. Valencia is a coach home: your own garage, your own entry, more privacy, no elevator, and a five-minute ride to that same beach. Mirasol also moves faster (median 41 days on market versus Valencia's 119) because beachfront scarcity does the selling. The honest sorting question: do you want to live on the beach or near the beach with a garage? There is no wrong answer, and we have sold both ways.

Valencia versus Bellini. Bellini is the coach home concept executed at twice the budget — larger waterfront residences, many with boat docks, at a median of $1,440,000. Buyers who tour Valencia and keep saying "I just wish it were bigger and on the big water" are describing Bellini; buyers who tour Bellini and wince at the number are describing Valencia. The two neighborhoods bracket the coach-home decision neatly.

And the rest of the attainable conversation: Tivoli (single-family attached villas, median $875,000 over the past year) and Bellavista (coach and condo product, median $900,000) frequently appear on the same shortlists — dedicated pages for both are coming soon. The larger point: Miromar Lakes' sub-$1M tier is small, specific, and moves on different logic than the estate market. We know every door in it. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and tell us your budget and your beach-versus-garage answer, and we will build the shortlist in one conversation.

Location — What Valencia Is Close To

Valencia at Miromar Lakes sits just inside the community's main entrance in unincorporated Lee County on the Estero–Fort Myers line — immediately off I-75 at Corkscrew Road and Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), and adjacent to FGCU, Miromar Outlets, and Hertz Arena.

For a seasonal owner, the airport number is the headline: 10–15 minutes from gatehouse to terminal at RSW, a convenience no Naples luxury community can match. Fly in Friday morning, be on the beach by lunch. For daily life, Valencia's near-the-gate position inside the community is a quiet luxury of its own — you clear the gatehouse and you are home in under a minute, with the Golf Clubhouse and the community's arrival amenities immediately at hand, while the Beach Clubhouse and the sand are a short drive or cart ride deeper into the community.

Beyond the gates, the Estero corridor delivers more practical convenience than almost any luxury address in the region: Miromar Outlets (shopping and dining) is essentially across the street; Florida Gulf Coast University is adjacent, bringing Division I athletics, lectures, and cultural programming; Hertz Arena hosts hockey and concerts minutes away; and both Coconut Point and Gulf Coast Town Center are a short drive. Downtown Naples' Fifth Avenue is roughly 30–35 minutes south; the Fort Myers River District about 25 minutes north; and the Gulf beaches at Bonita and Fort Myers Beach roughly half an hour west. There is also a development through-line worth knowing: Miromar Development founder and CEO Margaret Antonier also created the adjacent Miromar Outlets, the Miromar Design Center, and University Village — the surrounding commercial corridor was shaped by the same hand that built the community, which has supported the area's long-term trajectory. (Antonier's $10 million commitment endowing FGCU's Water School was recognized in 2026 with the naming of Margaret Antonier Hall.)

School-minded families: Miromar Lakes is an all-ages community served by the Lee County School District's proximity-based school-choice system — families select from schools based on proximity and availability rather than a single guaranteed assignment, so confirm current options with the district for a specific address. FGCU next door and the area's private school options round out the picture. We help families weigh all of it alongside the home search.

Insurance, Hurricane History, and the Structural Risk Picture

Valencia at Miromar Lakes carries one of the friendlier risk profiles in Southwest Florida luxury real estate: an inland site east of I-75 roughly 10–12 miles from the open Gulf, outside the coastal storm-surge band, concrete-block construction from the post-Andrew code era, and association-carried building insurance that limits each owner's exposure to a walls-in condo policy.

Unpack each layer. Geography first: Miromar Lakes sits well inland of the Gulf, east of I-75 — when Hurricane Ian devastated coastal Lee County in September 2022, the catastrophic storm surge that destroyed Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel physically could not reach this far inland. Inland wind and rain are real hurricane risks here, as everywhere in Florida, but surge — the deadliest and most destructive component — is effectively off the table. That difference shows up directly in insurance pricing and in lender flood requirements; many inland Miromar parcels map outside FEMA's high-risk coastal flood zones, though flood-zone determination is parcel-specific and we verify it on every transaction via FEMA's flood map service.

Construction second: Valencia's buildings are concrete-block coach homes permitted in the early 2000s — the post-Hurricane-Andrew generation of the Florida Building Code, with the wind-engineering standards that era introduced. Individual openings vary by what owners have updated: impact glass and storm protection have been added to many units over the years and are a meaningful differentiator between listings (and a smart upgrade for owners preparing to sell). Roof age and replacement cycles are an association responsibility — ask for the schedule, which we pull as a matter of course.

Insurance structure third: because the Valencia condominium association insures the building structures, an individual owner buys an HO-6 walls-in policy covering interior finishes, contents, and liability — typically far less expensive than insuring a comparable single-family home, and one of the cleanest arguments for the coach-home format in the post-Ian insurance market. Florida's post-2021 condominium legislation has also pushed associations of Valencia's vintage toward formalized structural inspections and reserve studies; that documentation exists to be read, and we read it. For sellers, a well-documented association is a selling point worth surfacing; for buyers, it is the difference between a surprise assessment and a known plan. Either way, call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 — we will walk the actual documents, not the generalities.

HOA Rules, Pets, Rentals, and the Social Fabric

Valencia at Miromar Lakes operates under its own condominium association layered beneath the Miromar Lakes master association: exteriors and grounds are maintained for you, pets are generally permitted with association approval, leasing follows the community's minimum-term rules, and the social life is the all-ages, genuinely active Miromar Lakes calendar.

The maintenance covenant is the lifestyle headline: building exteriors, roofs, painting, landscaping, and lake banks are association responsibilities funded by the quarterly fees. Owners maintain interiors and their own mechanical systems. For seasonal residents — a large share of Valencia — this is the whole point: lock the door in May, return in November to a maintained home, with no roof quote or landscaping contract in between.

Pets: listing data for Valencia units consistently shows pets permitted "with approval" — meaning the condominium documents set the process and any limits. If you are bringing two large dogs, we confirm against the current documents before you fall in love with a unit, not after.

Rentals: Miromar Lakes is not a short-term rental community. Community-wide, leasing runs on multi-month minimum terms (the community norm is a three-month minimum, with some sub-associations longer) — which protects the residential feel and, for owners, supports a healthy seasonal-rental market at the luxury end: community-wide, Miromar rentals have been leasing at roughly 100% of asking price with a median achieved rent of $7,500 per month. A Valencia coach home — attainable purchase price, full amenity access for tenants, lock-and-leave format — is one of the community's cleaner seasonal-income propositions for owners who use their home part of the year. Confirm Valencia's exact minimum lease term and approval process in the current condo documents before underwriting any rental plan; we will pull them.

The social fabric is what surprises new owners most. Miromar Lakes is an all-ages community with a professionally run calendar — galas, wine dinners, beach parties, leagues, clubs — and Valencia's owners are heavy participants. The neighborhood's scale (roughly 160 residences on one street) produces something the estate sections cannot: neighbors who actually know each other. Multiple of our Valencia clients told us the same thing in different words — they came for the price and stayed for the people.

Who Buys at Valencia — and Who Probably Shouldn't

Valencia at Miromar Lakes fits buyers who want the full Miromar Lakes lifestyle at the community's most attainable price — first-time second-home buyers, seasonal residents, downsizers, and amenity-first households — and fits poorly for buyers who need big square footage, private pools, Gulf access, or guaranteed day-one golf.

Valencia is right for you if:

• You are buying the lifestyle, not the structure. Your plan is beach mornings, lake afternoons, club evenings — and the home is the place you sleep between them. Valencia maximizes that math.
• You are a first-time second-home buyer testing the Southwest Florida waters without committing seven figures. Valencia is the community's classic on-ramp — and owners frequently trade up within the gates later.
• You want single-level living (first-floor units, zero stairs) or maximum space-per-dollar (second-floor units at 2,134–2,297 square feet for well under $1M).
• You are downsizing — including from larger Miromar Lakes homes. Keeping the beach and the friendships while shedding the square footage is a well-worn Valencia path.
• You travel: lock-and-leave maintenance plus a 10–15 minute airport run is about as friction-free as Florida ownership gets.
• You may rent seasonally: attainable basis, premium amenity access, and a community rental market achieving ~100% of asking rents.

Valencia is probably wrong for you if:

• You need 3,000+ square feet, a private pool, or a private dock. That is single-family territory — within Miromar, think the estate and villa neighborhoods, and budget accordingly.
• You want to live directly on the sand. That is Mirasol at nearly the same money, or the beachfront estates far above it.
• Gulf-access boating is the mission. Lake Como is magnificent and landlocked; offshore anglers should be honest with themselves about that trade.
• Day-one golf is non-negotiable. As a resale purchase, Valencia cannot bypass the golf waitlist the way new construction can — if that is a dealbreaker, we should talk through the alternatives before you commit.
• Stairs are a hard no and only second-floor units are available. Inventory composition matters; first-floor units are fewer and move on their own rhythm.

The honest sorting conversation takes fifteen minutes and saves months. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 — we will tell you plainly whether Valencia, a sibling neighborhood, or a different community entirely fits your actual life.

Buying or Selling at Valencia — Practical Mechanics

Valencia at Miromar Lakes transactions are Florida condominium transactions: contracts ride on association documents and estoppel certificates, buyers receive a statutory document-review window, club fees transfer at closing, and the neighborhood's repeating floor plans make comp selection — done correctly — unusually precise.

For buyers, the sequence looks like this. Offer and negotiation (with comp logic built from Valencia's own closed sales, adjusted for floor, view, and condition); contract with a condominium rider; delivery of the condominium documents — declaration, bylaws, rules, budget, and the question-and-answer sheet — which triggers Florida's statutory review window for resale condo purchases; association approval per the documents; inspection (interior systems, plus a hard look at the association's reserve and inspection documentation for the building envelope); the estoppel certificate confirming current fees and any assessments; and closing, at which the $10,000 club fee and $250 capital contribution are paid and the club privileges activate. Financing note: condo lending has its own underwriting layer (association budget, reserves, insurance, and owner-occupancy questions), so we steer clients to lenders who already know Miromar Lakes' associations — it removes days and surprises.

For sellers, the work happens before the sign goes up. With seven active competitors on one street, a Valencia listing wins on three fronts: pricing built honestly against the renovated-versus-original spread; presentation that photographs the view and the light (western water exposures sell in the late-afternoon shot); and documentation assembled in advance — association budget, reserve and inspection records, estoppel ordering, and the club-transfer paperwork — so that nothing stalls a clean contract. The median Valencia sale took 119 days last year; preparation is how a listing beats that number rather than becoming it.

Both sides should understand the club handoff: beach-and-club privileges run with ownership through the master association (the buyer's one-time fees at closing handle entry), while golf membership, if the seller holds one, is a separate club matter with its own transfer rules — never assume it rides along automatically. We coordinate directly with the club on every transaction so neither side discovers a gap at the closing table. For a confidential walkthrough of either process, call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

Valencia Market Snapshot (June 2026)

The Valencia at Miromar Lakes market as of June 2026: 3 closed sales in the trailing 12 months at a median of $700,000 (range $700,000–$875,000, median 119 days on market), with 7 active listings at a median ask of $779,000 — the highest active inventory of any neighborhood in the community.

• Closed sales (trailing 12 months): 3
• Median sale price: $700,000
• Sale range: $700,000 – $875,000
• Median days on market: 119
• Active listings (June 2026): 7 — median asking price $779,000
• Community context: 72 closed sales community-wide in the trailing 12 months, median $1,345,904, top sale $4,200,000; 59 active listings community-wide; community rentals leasing at roughly 100% of asking, median achieved $7,500/month

How to read it: Valencia's median sale sits at roughly half the community-wide median — the attainable tier doing its job — while its seven actives against three trailing sales make it the most selection-rich market inside the gates. For buyers, that is leverage and choice: multiple floor plans, floors, and exposures to compare in a single afternoon. For sellers, it is a discipline signal: with a 119-day median and a crowded shelf, the difference between a sale and a stale listing is set in the first week of pricing and presentation decisions. Worth noting honestly, too: small neighborhoods produce small samples — three closings is a thin statistical base, which is exactly why we comp Valencia at the unit level (floor, view, condition) rather than leaning on the headline median alone.

Thinking of Selling Your Valencia Home? List With the #1 Team in Southwest Florida Since 2012

If you have typed "sell my Valencia home" or "Valencia listing agent" into a search bar, here is the situation your search should have surfaced: seven Valencia listings are competing for the next buyer right now, the trailing median took 119 days to go under contract, and the sellers who win in this exact market are the ones whose agent prices against the renovated-versus-original spread, photographs the water, and markets beyond the MLS. That is the job we do — as the team ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012:

• Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008
• 5 Star Award for Customer Satisfaction for 20 Straight Years. Only 5 out of 21k+ Licensees (Gulfshore Life Magazine)
• #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012
• McGreevy and Comisar and their Domain Realty Group team have sold over $2.5 Billion in Real Estate
• McGreevy and Comisar alone have over $900 million in Sales
• Nationally Recognized Top Producing Realtors
• Platinum Sales Production Award Winners

What that record means in practice for a Valiant Court listing: a valuation built from Valencia's actual closed comps — 3 sales in the past 12 months at a median of $700,000, topping at $875,000 — adjusted unit-by-unit for floor, exposure, view, and finish level; staging and photography that earn the click in a seven-listing field; buyer-pool marketing that reaches the out-of-state second-home audience Valencia actually sells to; and transaction management that has the estoppel, the association documents, and the club-transfer paperwork moving before the first offer arrives, not after.

And if your situation calls for discretion — estate matters, a quiet exploration before the season, a price test without a public listing — we run confidential and off-market processes routinely. Not every Valencia sale needs a yard sign; every Valencia sale needs a strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions — Buyer Edition

What is Valencia at Miromar Lakes?

Valencia is a neighborhood of approximately 160 Centex-built coach homes on Valiant Court, just inside the main gates of Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club in Southwest Florida. It is the community's most attainable neighborhood tier, with full access to every Miromar Lakes amenity — the private beach, club, spa, marina, and dining.

How much does a home in Valencia cost?

Per the live June 2026 Stellar MLS data, the trailing-12-month median sale is $700,000 (range $700,000–$875,000), and the seven current active listings carry a median asking price of $779,000. First-floor 2-bedroom-plus-den units anchor the lower band; larger second-floor 3-bedroom-plus-den units set the top.

What floor plans does Valencia offer?

Two formats: first-floor residences of roughly 1,548–1,654 square feet with 2 bedrooms plus a den and single-level living, and second-floor residences of 2,134–2,297 square feet with 3 bedrooms plus a den. Every residence includes an attached two-car garage and a screened lanai.

Who built Valencia, and when?

Centex Homes — through its Southwest Florida division — built Valencia during Miromar Lakes' original construction cycle, with original purchaser closings recorded in 2002 and 2003. The neighborhood is fully built out, with mature landscaping and no remaining developer inventory.

Are Valencia homes condos or houses?

Legally, Valencia residences are condominium units within two-story coach-home buildings, governed by the Valencia at Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club Condominium Association (a Florida corporation active since 2002). They live like attached homes — private entries and attached garages — with condo-style exterior maintenance handled by the association.

What are the fees at Valencia?

Per current MLS listing data: master association dues of approximately $2,300 per quarter plus a Valencia condominium fee of approximately $1,500 per quarter, covering the community amenities and the building exteriors respectively. Buyers also pay a $10,000 one-time club fee and $250 capital contribution at closing. Confirm exact current figures via the estoppel certificate — we pull it on every transaction.

Do Valencia owners get full beach and club access?

Yes — completely. Miromar Lakes does not tier its amenities by neighborhood or price point. A Valencia owner has the same access to the three miles of private beach, the #1-in-the-USA Beach Clubhouse, the infinity pool, the spa, the marina, dining, tennis, and pickleball as the owner of a multi-million-dollar estate.

Is golf included with a Valencia purchase?

No — golf at the Arthur Hills Signature course is a separate, optional membership with a $140,000 initiation fee and a waitlist managed by the club. Important nuance: new-construction purchases at Miromar Lakes can bypass the waitlist, but resale purchases (including Valencia) may face it. If day-one golf matters, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 before you choose a home — we track the waitlist status in real time.

What views do Valencia homes have?

Lake views are the neighborhood signature — most buildings overlook internal lakes framed by mature landscaping, with second-floor lanais catching longer elevated water sightlines. Some exposures face gardens and greenery instead. View quality varies meaningfully unit to unit, which is one of the main drivers of price differences within Valencia.

Where is Valencia located within Miromar Lakes?

Just inside the community's main entrance off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, near the Sales Gallery and the Miromar Lakes Golf Club, per the community's official master plan. Practically: the shortest arrival sequence in the community — through the gate and home in under a minute — with the beach and Beach Clubhouse a short drive or cart ride away.

How far is Valencia from the airport?

Roughly 10–15 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) — one of the shortest airport runs of any luxury community in Southwest Florida, and a genuine quality-of-life factor for seasonal owners and frequent travelers.

Is Miromar Lakes in Fort Myers or Estero?

Both labels get used, and neither is wrong: the community sits in unincorporated Lee County on the Estero–Fort Myers line, with its own "Miromar Lakes, FL 33913" mailing designation, while the MLS files it under the Fort Myers area (FM21). Physically it is immediately off I-75 between Corkscrew Road and Alico Road, adjacent to FGCU and Miromar Outlets.

Can I boat on Lake Como as a Valencia owner?

Yes. Lake Como — the 700-acre private freshwater lake — is open to all residents, and the Marina on the Peninsula offers slip rentals, gated boat storage, fueling, boat rentals, and guided fishing, so Valencia owners enjoy the full boating life without waterfront ownership. Note that the lake is internal: no Gulf access.

Is the beach real sand? How does a freshwater beach compare to the Gulf?

Roughly three miles of imported, resort-maintained white sand line Lake Como entirely inside the gates. Versus the Gulf: no salt, no jellyfish, no rip currents, no red tide, no seaweed, no crowds, and no parking — plus cabanas, lounge service, and the Blue Water Beach Grill on the sand. Most owners stop comparing within a week.

Are pets allowed in Valencia?

Listing data shows pets permitted with association approval — meaning the condominium documents govern the specifics and process. If you have particular pets in mind, we confirm against the current documents before you offer, not after.

Can I rent out a Valencia home?

Miromar Lakes permits leasing on multi-month minimum terms (the community norm is a three-month minimum; sub-association rules vary), so short-term vacation rentals are out, but seasonal leasing is viable — and community-wide, rentals have leased at roughly 100% of asking with a median achieved rent of $7,500/month. Confirm Valencia's exact terms in the current condo documents before underwriting a rental plan.

Is Valencia age-restricted?

No. Valencia — like all of Miromar Lakes — is an all-ages community. The mix runs from working professionals and families to seasonal retirees, and the social calendar serves all of them.

How is hurricane risk at Valencia?

Among the friendlier profiles in the region: an inland site east of I-75, roughly 10–12 miles from the open Gulf and outside the coastal storm-surge band that did the catastrophic damage in Hurricane Ian, with concrete-block construction from the post-Andrew code era. The association insures the buildings; owners carry walls-in HO-6 policies, which typically cost a fraction of single-family coverage.

What should I look at when comparing Valencia units?

Six variables move value: floor (first versus second), view (lake versus landscape), exposure (west catches sunsets over the water), end-unit versus interior position, interior condition (original 2003 finishes versus renovated — a six-figure spread at the extremes), and furnishings (many units trade turnkey). With seven actives, this comparison is unusually possible right now — we will walk all of them with you.

Are there stairs in the second-floor units?

Yes — second-floor residences have a private ground-level entry foyer with a stairway up to the living level. There are no elevators in Valencia's coach-home buildings, which is why buyers for whom stairs are a hard constraint should focus on first-floor inventory.

What does the $10,000 club fee at closing cover?

It is the community-wide one-time mandatory club fee (plus a $250 capital contribution) paid by buyers at closing — it activates your household's beach, club, and amenity privileges through the master association. It is not the golf membership, which is separate and optional.

How does Valencia compare to San Marino?

San Marino is the community's absolute price floor (median $547,500 over the past year) — roughly $150,000 below Valencia's median. Valencia's premium buys the coach-home format with attached two-car garages and private entries, larger top-end floor plans (to 2,297 square feet), and the near-the-gate position. Walk both; the formats feel genuinely different. See our San Marino guide.

How does Valencia compare to Mirasol?

Nearly the same money, completely different living: Mirasol (median $745,000) is a mid-rise condo directly on the Lake Como sand — elevator living, beach at the door. Valencia (median $700,000) is a coach home with a garage and private entry, minutes from that same beach. Beach-at-the-door versus garage-and-privacy is the real decision. See our Mirasol guide.

Is Valencia a good investment?

The structural case: the lowest-cost entry to a nationally awarded community with a genuinely unique amenity (the only 700-acre private freshwater lake/beach combination we know of in the U.S.), a strong seasonal rental market leasing near 100% of ask, and a buyer pipeline of downsizers and first-time second-home buyers. The honest caveats: a thin sales sample, currently elevated inventory, and a 119-day median DOM — entry pricing matters. We will show you both sides of that ledger before you commit; we are agents ranked in the Top 1% nationally since 2008 precisely because we tell clients the whole truth.

Will I need association approval to buy?

Yes — as a Florida condominium, Valencia purchases run through the association's approval process per its documents, and Florida law gives resale condo buyers a statutory window to review the declaration, bylaws, budget, and Q&A sheet after contract. Routine, but it has deadlines — we manage them on every deal.

Can I see all seven current Valencia listings in one visit?

Yes — and you should; it is the single best way to calibrate floor, view, and condition against price. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will arrange a single-afternoon tour of the available inventory, plus a candid unit-by-unit debrief afterward.

What are property taxes like at Valencia?

Lee County property taxes apply, assessed by the Lee County Property Appraiser, and the annual bill from the Lee County Tax Collector also carries the community's CDD assessment line. Florida's homestead exemption and Save Our Homes cap benefit primary residents. We model the full tax-plus-fee carrying cost for any specific unit before you offer.

Is there new construction in Valencia?

No — Valencia has been fully built out since the mid-2000s; every purchase is a resale. Miromar Lakes' new-construction activity is in other neighborhoods (with the golf-waitlist bypass that entails). If you are weighing Valencia resale value against new-build pricing elsewhere in the community, that is a conversation we have weekly: call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

Frequently Asked Questions — Seller Edition

What is my Valencia home worth in 2026?

The trailing-12-month band runs $700,000–$875,000 (median $700,000), but the headline numbers are only the starting point: floor, view, exposure, end-unit position, and especially renovation level move individual values by six figures within that band. Get a unit-specific valuation at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

How long will it take to sell my Valencia coach home?

The trailing-12-month median is 119 days — but that is an average of well-priced and over-priced listings alike. In a seven-active-listing field, homes priced correctly against the renovated-versus-original spread and presented professionally beat that number; homes priced to "test the market" become the number. We will show you exactly which comps support which strategy.

There are seven active listings in Valencia — should I wait to list?

Not necessarily. Elevated inventory cuts both ways: more competition, but also more buyer traffic shopping the neighborhood as a category. The right answer depends on how your unit stacks against the current actives on floor, view, and condition — if yours wins those comparisons, listing into traffic works. If it doesn't, we discuss timing, pricing, or targeted pre-market exposure instead. That analysis is free: (239) 898-6072.

How do I price against the other active Valencia listings?

Three steps: comp your unit against Valencia's closed sales (not just asks — asks are hopes), position it explicitly against each live competitor a buyer will tour the same day, and price to be the obvious value in your sub-segment (first-floor versus second-floor, renovated versus original). With repeating floor plans, Valencia buyers comparison-shop ruthlessly — your price needs to anticipate that spreadsheet.

Do renovations pay back at sale in Valencia?

Selectively. Kitchens, primary baths, flooring, and impact-glass upgrades show up directly in Valencia's price spread — renovated units have commanded premiums of $100,000+ over comparable original-finish units. Full gut renovations timed just for sale rarely pencil; strategic refreshes (paint, lighting, fixtures, staging) almost always do. We will tell you which category your home is in before you spend a dollar.

Should I sell my Valencia home furnished?

Usually yes, or at least offer it. Valencia's buyer pool skews out-of-state and second-home, and turnkey is a genuine closing accelerant in this segment. Furnishings typically convey by separate agreement at modest value — their real worth is transactional speed, not price.

What happens to my club privileges when I sell?

Master-association beach-and-club privileges run with the property — your buyer activates their own through the one-time club fee and capital contribution at closing. A golf membership, if you hold one, is separate club property with its own resignation/transfer rules and timing — coordinate with the club early, because the mechanics can affect your net and your timeline. We manage that coordination on every sale.

What is an estoppel certificate and why does it matter?

It is the association's official statement of your unit's current fees, any outstanding amounts, and any pending assessments — required in every Florida condo sale and relied on by the buyer, lender, and title company. Ordering it early (both master and Valencia associations) prevents the most common late-stage closing delay. We handle the ordering as standard practice.

Will the association's inspection and reserve documents affect my sale?

Increasingly, yes. Florida's post-2021 condominium reforms made structural inspection reports and reserve studies central to buyer and lender diligence on buildings of Valencia's vintage. Well-documented associations are a selling point; gaps invite renegotiation. We review the current documentation before listing so we can present it proactively rather than react to it.

Can I sell my Valencia home off-market?

Yes. We run confidential and off-market processes routinely — for estate situations, privacy preferences, or quiet price discovery before a public launch. With an active buyer database built over decades as the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, several of our Miromar Lakes sales never touched the open MLS. Confidential conversations welcome: (239) 898-6072.

When is the best time of year to list in Valencia?

Season (December–April) brings the heaviest physical buyer traffic, and listings that go live in late fall meet it with full freshness. But Valencia's buyer pool shops online year-round from out of state, and reduced summer competition can favor well-priced listings. The better question is your unit's position against the current actives — timing strategy follows from that, and we will map it with you.

How should my Valencia listing be marketed beyond the MLS?

Valencia buyers are rarely local. Winning marketing reaches the out-of-state second-home audience where they actually search: professional photography and video built around the water and the light, placement across the national portals and our own high-traffic channels, targeted digital campaigns into the northern feeder markets, and direct exposure to our decades-deep buyer database — including Miromar owners looking to downsize within the gates, who are a quietly perfect Valencia audience.

What will it cost me to sell?

Plan for commission, prorated taxes and quarterly dues, estoppel fees from both associations, title and closing charges per your contract, and any negotiated repairs from inspection. We provide a line-item net sheet with every valuation so your bottom-line number is real before you commit to anything.

My unit has original finishes — can it still sell well?

Yes, priced as what it is: a value entry for buyers who want to renovate to taste. The mistake is pricing an original-finish unit against renovated comps — that is how listings sit for 200 days. Priced honestly against its true peer group, original-condition Valencia inventory sells; the past year's closings prove the demand exists at the right number.

Why list with McGreevy and Comisar instead of a discount brokerage?

Because in a seven-listing field, the margin between a strong sale and a stale listing is far larger than any commission difference. We are ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 (Domain Realty Group), with over $2.5 billion in team sales — and the pricing precision, presentation, and buyer reach behind those numbers are exactly the tools a competitive micro-market like Valencia demands. The valuation conversation is free and obligation-free: (239) 898-6072.

What if I want to sell my Valencia home and buy larger within Miromar Lakes?

That is one of the most common Valencia exit paths, and we choreograph it constantly: valuation and quiet preparation of your coach home, a parallel search in the move-up neighborhoods, and contract timing that avoids two moves or bridge risk. One team running both sides of the trade keeps the timeline honest. Start the conversation at (239) 898-6072.
