A true "Florida girl", Phaidra has lived on Sanibel Island since she was three. Growing up surrounded by Sanibel's unparalleled natural beauty helps to set her apart from the majority of island Realtors who have only been in the area for a short time. She enjoys sharing her vast knowledge of this island paradise with her clients, and her deep love for Sanibel and Captiva is positively contagious! Having also traveled extensively -- from the mountains of Thailand to the shores of South America -- she combines a world-based perspective with her local knowledge and island real estate expertise.
In 2005, Phaidra was honored as a member of Coldwell Banker’s International President’s Premier - representing the Top 1% of all Coldwell Banker Sales Associates Worldwide
As a champion competitive athlete, Phaidra offers her clients the kind of determination, enthusiasm, and extreme dedication that helped her to win countless triathlons. Of course, when it comes to real estate, her clients always come first. So, if you're looking for results, just call Phaidra and she'll put her boundless energy and island knowledge to work for you. Whether you're buying, selling, or "just looking" at island real estate... it pays to work with a winner!
SANIBEL, Fla., (December 26, 2007) - Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate is pleased to announce that Phaidra Velarde, a Sales Associate at the Sanibel-Captiva office, has earned the Certified International Property Specialist Designation (CIPS). Phaidra is the only realtor on the Islands to have earned this prestigious designation. According to Velarde, In order to effectively market your listings, it is important to be skilled in the unique aspects of international real estate. I look forward to offering my specialized skills to more international buyers and sellers.
The CIPS designation is awarded by the National Association of Realtors. It is earned by individuals who complete a seven-part program of study focusing on critical aspects of international transactions. The topics of study include regional market conditions, cross-cultural relationships, currency and exchange rate issues and investment performance and tax issues. With the current exchange rates Europeans and Canadians presently have great purchasing power. I have dedicated myself to avenues of advertising abroad to ensure maximum exposure and interest for my listings and to procure new clientele, said Velarde.
She will be formally recognized at the National Association of Realtor s Annual Convention in November of 2008. Velarde joins a distinguished society of over 1,500 real estate professionals throughout the world who have earned the CIPS designation. According to Bill Barnes, Branch Manager of the Sanibel office, Phaidra is now part of a worldwide referral network of elite global real estate practitioners with expertise in working with international customers.

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how pleased Sharon and I were with the process of buying a house on Sanibel and the service you provided. As you know, my time was at a premium, and the schedule I set was quite demanding. You were, however, able to meet my demands without fail, and as a result, we were able to identify the perfect house for our family vacation home in just a couple of days. You ability to understand what we were looking for and show us a house that was just about to come to market, and facilitation of the usual buyer-seller negotiations, was superb. Your coordination of closing and help on all the details of getting services switched over to our name was most helpful. You also took the time to make sure we had an insider's view of all the little things we needed to know, from what vet to use, to where to eat and shop. I found your upfront approach to be quite refreshing. I am sure that your lifelong knowledge of Sanibel is far superior to the vast majority of other realtors selling houses on Sanibel. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated. I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone seeking to purchase on Sanibel/Captiva.

Congratulations again Phaidra on your selection as a FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agent for a second straight year in a row.
Gulfshore Life - Naples Florida
To Whom It May Concern: We tried two different companies and two different agents over a two- and- a- half year period with no results. Within only a few months of choosing Phaidra Velardé as our listing agent, our near-beach home sold--- and we were very pleased with the selling price! Frankly, we weren't surprised. Phaidra's enthusiasm, work ethic, efficiency, and marketing skills clearly are superior. Furthermore, throughout our difficult negotiating period, in which she represented both parties, Phaidra demonstrated patience, perspective, professionalism, and equanimity. My advice, then, should come as no surprise: choose Phaidra to help you sell your property--- or to buy one! Did I mention how pleasant it is dealing with her? Phaidra is one of those rare people you look forward to seeing and talking with: she's always cheerful, upbeat, and ready to help. With all of these skills, she'd be highly successful in any field. We're glad she chose real estate! You will be very glad you chose her, too. Thanks, Sarah, Ava, and Jayme Vasconcellos PS This, of course, was non-solicited and non-remunerated.
Sarah, Ava, and Jayme Vasconcellos - Sanibel, FL"

HI Dave,
I am sorry to tell you that this is a typo on the Trulia website. This property is no where near Sanibel. I have researched its location and it seems the listing agent has incorrectly imputted the address so I do not have an answer for you! Sorry!!! - Tue Oct 21 2008, 11:09

Diane, The corrrect site to visit is
http://www.mysanibel.com . There you will be able to pull up ecological maps. This is a good place to start. Each property is different and an updated survey with density calculations will tell you everything you need to know about a particular property. I am pleased to explain the different zones on Sanibel and what it means to you as a property owner. I am a life long island resident and realtor .
