Bartos Group BLOG

Premiere Plus Realty has become a defining name in Southwest Florida real estate. As an independently owned and operated company, Premiere Plus Realty combines local expertise, agent autonomy, and global reach to deliver measurable results. In this article, the President of Premiere Plus Realty, Jillian Young, and Visionary of the Bartos Group, Mary Bartos, discuss how Premiere Plus Realty rose to the top in listings and transactions, why local agents matter more than national logos, and how sellers and buyers benefit from its model.

Why Hyper-Local Strategy Wins in Southwest Florida

Southwest Florida is a market that rewards people who know neighborhoods, microtrends, and the seasonal rhythms of buyers and sellers. Premiere Plus Realty focuses on being hyper-local. Rather than relying solely on a national brand to move listings, the company empowers agents to build relationships, understand community nuances, and act quickly when opportunities arise.

The result is a brokerage built from boots-on-the-ground activity. Local marketing, targeted outreach, and agents who live and work inside the market give Premiere Plus Realty a practical advantage. That focus is central to why the company claims the top spot for listings and transactions in the region.

National Recognition: Agents Ranked 88th in the U.S.

Among tens of thousands of brokerages across the United States, the agents of Premiere Plus Realty are ranked 88th nationally for listings and transactions. That number reflects consistency across teams and a model that supports agent success.

This ranking underscores a simple truth: local leadership and agent performance often outpace brand recognition. While a logo might open a door, it is the individual agent and the local team that close deals. For sellers and buyers, that means working with a brokerage that combines a strong local footprint with proven national-level performance.

Agent-First Culture: Freedom, Flexibility, and Support

Premiere Plus Realty structures itself so agents can be CEOs of their own businesses. That sounds like a slogan until you see the practices behind it: agents choose niche paths, receive business coaching, and benefit from operational support that removes friction from transactions.

Agents at Premiere Plus Realty can specialize in ultra-luxury homes, waterfront properties, or northern market sectors of Southwest Florida. The brokerage gives them freedom to market creatively and the infrastructure to handle contracts, inspections, and closing logistics. This combination of independence and support is a core reason agents perform at a high level.

Luxury Reach: Global Exposure and High-End Results

When a property demands global exposure, Premiere Plus Realty taps into networks like LuxuryRealEstate.com to broadcast listings worldwide. That presence expands market reach beyond the Sunshine State and connects sellers with an international pool of qualified buyers.

Local dominance in high-priced segments also matters. In several submarkets, including Marco Island, Premiere Plus Realty recorded the most sides for properties priced above $6 million. That level of activity in luxury tiers shows a marketplace confidence that translates into better outcomes for high-end sellers.

How Marketing and Operations Combine to Close More Deals

Marketing teams at Premiere Plus Realty leverage social media, targeted digital campaigns, and professional assets that amplify listing exposure. Experience teams manage the transaction process from contract to close, ensuring deposits, inspections, repairs, and contingencies are handled on schedule.

That coordinated workflow frees agents to focus on client relationships and negotiations. When systems are reliable and marketing is strategic, listings move faster and transactions reach successful closings more predictably. The data shows that structure matters as much as personal skill.

What sellers should look for

  • Local expertise: Agents who know the neighborhood comparables and buyer profiles.
  • Proven results: Evidence of the brokerage’s market share, especially for price tiers relevant to the property.
  • Global reach: Connections to luxury portals and international referral networks when appropriate.
  • Operational support: A team that manages the closing process so the agent can focus on strategy.

Premiere Plus Realty checks each of these boxes, which explains why so many sellers prefer its agents in Southwest Florida.

Choosing an Agent Within a High-Performing Brokerage

Picking an agent is more important than selecting a corporate logo. The brand can provide tools and reach, but an individual agent delivers the relationship and local advocacy. Within a large company like Premiere Plus Realty, prospective clients should evaluate agents by past sales, local market focus, and the support team they bring.

With roughly 1,500 agents and 300 referral partners affiliated across Southwest Florida, Premiere Plus Realty offers options for different property types, price points, and client preferences. That breadth makes it easier to match buyers and sellers with an agent who truly understands their needs.

Case Study Highlights

Examples of recent success include dominating certain luxury segments and earning national recognition. The combination of agent independence, targeted marketing, and global listing distribution has driven both local market share and an 88th place national ranking for agents in listings and transactions.

Local branding and the individual agent trumped corporate brand every time in recent national surveys, a fact that aligns with how Premiere Plus Realty structures its business.

Premiere Plus Realty demonstrates how that combination produces top-tier results: local dominance in listings and transactions, luxury market strength, and national-level recognition.

Choosing an agent within a high-performing brokerage can make a measurable difference in both the speed and price of a sale. When an agent has the freedom to build a niche, access to strong marketing channels, and the support of experienced teams, clients get the best of both worlds: a personal advisor and a professional organization working in concert. That is the value proposition that defines Premiere Plus Realty and the Bartos Group.
