My wife and I were fortunate to have found Douglas Olmsted to assist us in our home search. We were traveling to Florida from out of state, and Douglas could not have been more helpful in advance of our visit. We spent a week with him and benefitted from his vast real estate experience and advice, as well as enjoying his warm and caring personality. He was patient, thorough, and dedicated to help us find the perfect home - which we did. We are forever grateful to Douglas, and we can recommend him without hesitation as he can be trusted implicitly to do a great job for you.read more

Peter Warrick-Marsh and Doug Olmsted are refined professionals. They completely understood what we needed to accomplish in our short two day stay. When we arrived in Naples they had a number of properties to present to us based on our criteria. Their connections and knowledge of the area meant they were able to expertly guide us to our perfect new home. Peter is patient, diligent, prepared and gracious. Doug is insightful, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. In under 48 hours we signed a contract. It took all the guess work and countless exhaustive hours out of the process for us. Peter even helped us find temporary accommodation close to our new home until its ready for move in. If you want a stress free and flawless home buying experience, please contact Peter Warrick -Marsh and Doug Olmsted at White Sands Realty.Anna and Mike Harmonread more

Numerous national reviews led us to believe that our future home would probably be in Southwest Florida. An internet search led us to Derek Anderson, who helped us decide that Naples would be right for us. Derek turned out to be that special professional who combines knowledge of an area with an understanding of a buyer’s needs and interests, is able to translate these into candidate properties, and helps close the purchase. Thank you, Derek!read more

How fortuitous that we found Derek Anderson from an internet search. From our home across the country, he helped set expectations, provided numerous listings tailored to our needs, was extremely knowledgeable and diligent. When we arrived in Naples, Derek organized house showings for just the right amount of time and never used high pressure tactics. We are now happy year-round residents and homeowners thanks to Derek.read more

My husband and I worked with Ryan Ehmen and we found the perfect home in one day. Ryan was professional, responsive and very knowledgeable about the Naples area. He handled all aspects professionally and went above and beyond as we were living in Connecticut and bought our Naples home during the COVID 19 pandemic. What should have been an extremely stressful situation ended up being the easiest home purchase I have experienced. I would not hesitate recommending Ryan or his company in the future. Outstanding job!read more

My husband & I worked with Douglas Olmsted in trying to find the right home for us. We currently live in West Des Moines, IA and were wanting a home in the Naples/Bonita Springs FL area. I’m still thanking my lucky stars that he was the one who not only guided us through this process but seemed to be available 24 x 7, looking on our behalf for homes that would fit our lifestyle. He never tired of our questions and gave us so much insight about the homes we were looking at. I felt he was honest and sincere and truly cared that we found something we loved. There was never any pressure. In fact he kept everything upbeat and assured us that we would find the right home. Even after our search was over he continued to assist and walk us through the contract process. My husband & I would highly recommend him!read more

Over the years I have used a number of real estate brokers with regard to purchasing and selling homes. The experience I had with White Sands Realty and Doug Olmsted has clearly been my best experience—-by far. Everything you would want in utilizing a real estate broker you can find in Doug. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly and always available. He tells it like it is and is a valuable asset in house hunting in the Naples area. There are many brokers and associates who have come into this field as an afterthought or simply because they weren’t able to find a job in their chosen profession—-and those individuals you should avoid at all costs. On the other hand, Doug has been a broker for 25 years and has enormous expertise that will make buying or selling a house or condo a fabulous and enlightening experience. You simply can’t go wrong using Doug and White Sands Realty. If I could, I would give him 7 Stars.read more

Mark Weber and his team and very down to earth and knowledgeable about the real estate market in Naples FL. When we were shopping for homes, we connected with Ryan from his team. He was incredibly responsive and personal. He asked us great questions about what we were looking for and showed us homes almost immediately. Since we are from Chicago, Ryan even did a virtual walk through using FaceTime which was helpful. Based on our experience with Mark and Ryan, after we moved to Naples, my wife Julie even joined their team! I would highly recommend Mark and the White Sand Realty team.read more

Derek Anderson is a true real estate professional. We are from the Boston area and were looking for a second home in Naples. Derek quickly and effectively assessed our needs, dreams and price range. He shared several properties and ideas with us online to get a good handle on what we wanted. By the time we arrived in Naples, all appointments were made for a two day visit. By the end of the weekend, we had made a purchase. Even more important to us was the incredibly efficient and accurate way in which Derek handled the offer and closing processes. His attention to detail made our entire experience perfect and stress free.I would recommend Derek to anyone. He is a top notch, enthusiastic and detail oriented guy with a positive laid-back style that gives you the freedom to think carefully about your decision. Loved him!read more

I took it for granted that all Realtors were that good until I moved out of state and had to use another agent. Now I have a greater appreciation for his professionalism and expertise.read more

Douglas Olmsted is a phenomenal agent. He has represented us several times as both a buyers and sellers agent. On one occasion he was instrumental in getting our property sold when he assisted the buyers’ in increasing their appraisal for their loan. He noticed the errors in the appraisal whereas the buyers’ agent was content with letting the sale fail. On another occasion he was tireless in finding our dream bay front property. He realized we ultimately wouldn’t be thrilled with the property we had originally targeted. We will continue to use him and White Sands for all future real estate transactions.read more

Derek Anderson is a top notch agent. I am an agent in Michigan and I was searching for a stellar agent to help my client sell her condo in the Naples area. I spent endless hours researching agents in the area, making phone calls, etc., and then I found Derek... I felt more than confident he would serve my client best. And sure enough, he did just that! He sold my clients condo in less than a month for a price she was proud of. I personally validate Derek Anderson is an above average, way more than average, agent. I highly recommend him for any real estate purposes.read more

We lucked out finding a professional like Derek Anderson. Our family had been vacation in Naples for several years and we finally decided to buy a condo. After making an inquiry, Derek promptly called and followed up with a great balance of not being pushy but wanting to help in any way he could. Other agents that called us came and went. Derek stayed the course and believed in our situation and commitment to buy. Throughout the process, he was the consummate professional and advocate for our cause. As a result, we actually enjoyed the experience - one that could have been stressful without his calm and easy nature. We highly recommend Derek!read more

We were out-of-town buyers and looked around before interviewing and choosing Derek Anderson as our agent to represent us in seeking and purchasing a condominium in Naples. We were extremely pleased with this choice as our experience was excellent in all regards. Derek was energetic, responsive, and served as our advocate throughout the process. He was especially good with communication, emailing, calling or texting nearly every day to keep us up to date. He has a warm and pleasant demeanor and was easy to work with. Although he is busy and sells a lot of real estate, you will feel as if you are his only client. We could not be happier with his representation and recommend him highly- would give him six stars if the scale could be extended.read more
