Glen Bigness started his real estate career in New York in 1986 and has helped clients buy, sell and invest in Southwest Florida since 1994. This year he marks 40 years in the business, now serving luxury, waterfront and equestrian clients with Premiere Plus Realty in Naples. Here is what four decades in real estate, and more than three in this market, have taught him, and how he puts it to work for buyers and sellers today.
Southwest Florida is still competitive, but it is changing
Demand along the Gulf coast comes from many directions at once: people relocating for lifestyle, retirees planning their next chapter, investors looking for long-term value and buyers who want direct access to the water. That mix keeps the region active, but it also means pricing and inventory can shift quickly and differ from one community to the next.
For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is simple: broad headlines rarely tell you what your home is worth or what you should pay. Local pricing, recent comparable sales, property condition and community features matter far more.
How Glen lists and markets a luxury home
A strong listing starts long before the photos. Glen's process for sellers includes:
- Comparable sales review to set a price grounded in what similar homes actually sold for.
- Buyer segment analysis to identify who is most likely to buy the home: relocating families, retirees, boaters, investors or second-home buyers.
- Market preparation guidance so the property shows at its best.
- Coordinated marketing across the major real estate platforms so the right buyers see it.
- Contract negotiation focused on terms as well as price.
How Glen helps buyers make a confident offer
Buyers get help weighing location, property features and long-term value, then an offer strategy built on current market conditions rather than guesswork. With membership in four major MLS systems, Glen can show clients a wide view of Florida's luxury inventory, including homes outside a single county's search.

Leadership experience and specialties
Over his career Glen has served as a broker-owner, a real estate franchise manager, a managing broker with Century 21 and a relocation director. That background shapes how he works today: listen first, collect the right information, then analyze the market data and trends that apply to each client's specific goals. Clients past and present point to his quick response times, dedication and accountability. He is also a Certified New Construction Agent and a specialist in equestrian, ranch, farm and land sales, so buyers and sellers of new homes, horse properties and acreage get the same data-driven guidance as luxury and waterfront clients.
Why Premiere Plus Realty
To combine his real estate and business experience with a strong regional platform, Glen chose Premiere Plus Realty in Naples, a brokerage with billions of dollars in closed transactions across Southwest Florida.
