He transitioned to Bonita Springs & Naples in 2002, and has since offered clients utmost professionalism, broad-based knowledge, savvy negotiating skills, plus a vast network of contacts and resources. In addition, the Jaarda's represented the buyer for the largest residential transaction in Naples in 2013, a $30 Million beachfront sale on Gordon Drive. Gary takes his clients' outcomes personally, which explains his strong determination and work ethic.
