Lanae Barnes

Leasing Specialist

 

Lanae Barnes has worked as a top producer in the residential real estate industry for over three decades as an independent real estate agent and broker and also as a sales agent and manager for large real estate developers such as Lennar Homes, WCI Communities and Kolter Homes selling properties ranging in price from $200,000 to over $5 million.

Lanae’s career started in California specializing in residential country club properties and custom homes. She moved to South Florida in 1998 and began working for national home builder Lennar Homes, in Broward County. Her first year she was the number one sales person out of 25 agents selling 90 homes valued at over $25 million and she became a top sales agent at every community she worked.

 

Lanae credits her success to hard work and always being easily accessible and present for her customers. She has developed many life-long friendships and strives to have happy customers and friends for life. Lanae has won numerous sales awards including Sales Associate of the Year, Highest Dollar Volume and Rookie of the Year.

 

One of the reason’s Lanae has been successful in Real Estate is because she loves a challenge and will do what it takes to get the job done. A good example of this is her marathon and triathlon training. When Lanae was training for Ironman Zurich, she would begin a 100 mile bike ride at 4:00 am and then head in to the office to meet customers. She knew it wouldn’t be easy but she was determined and dedicated to reach her goals. This tenacious and competitive nature is how she represents her customers.

 

Thankful to live in the Sunshine State, Lanae can enjoy her favorite activities all year long such as training for triathlons, boating and diving. She is excited to share her passion for Southern Florida and to help her clients live their best life.

Joe Flores

Maintenance Supervisor

 

Hi my name is Joe Flores. I would like to start off by saying I'm not your average Joe. I have accomplished quite a bit in my 40 plus years. I have done numerous jobs and have gained a lot of experience in training in different fields. I've been an inline cook, to a tractor trailer driver, to an armed bodyguard, to a warehouse team leader in a Coca Cola plant, to construction work and operating heavy equipment, to also doing Maintenance work. With a family of 6 including myself I can't stop from expanding and learning more in order to provide for my family. Especially with the disabilities three of my kids deal with. I push hard everyday to be better then yesterday and I try to solve the mysteries or challenges life throws my way. I have accomplished with certification: Food handling, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver, Entrepreneurship, CNC machinist 1, Fight or flight, tactical simulation training, close quarter simulation training, pistol dynamics training, hand to hand combat training, and a Class A commercial license as well as 608/410 HVAC license. Plus I am an Artist, I love to draw and create art work. I enjoy building things and taking things apart just to see how they work. So you can say I am not your average Joe.

Maintenance Technician

 

My name is Scott Mello Jr I am twenty five years old and I am a Maintenance Technician here at Sandalwood Village in Naples, Florida. I was originally drawn to the property by family members that previously lived here and I thought it would be a great place to work and expand my knowledge in the general maintenance department. I have a history in pool maintenance  and customer service so this has been the perfect fit for me in the last two years I have been here. It's easy to forget you are working when you enjoy what you do!
