In 1981, Gary Miner moved his family to Port Charlotte from New Jersey. His parents had retired to Punta Gorda         
                            several years earlier, and Gary really liked the area. Shortly afterwards he began his career in real estate, first as an agent
                           and then as a broker.
                                   As he grew more familiar with the area, he focused on the South Gulf Cove subdivision. Back then, it was still quite a  
                           'hidden gem' with little interest. In 2001 Gary opened the office here on Wiltshire Drive, which is the access road in front of  
                           South Gulf Cove.
Since then, we have seen the growth on the Cape Haze peninsula, especially in South Gulf Cove and some of the nearby Rotonda communities.   
However, this is still a growing area, with plenty of natural, open spaces. The slow down in the real estate market, over the past few years, is   
now showing signs of improvement, and with current prices it is a good time to buy.
If you already own property here, or are considering purchasing, feel free to call Gary. He will be happy to give you a current update.

     Phil Van Der Heyden settled in Port Charlotte in 1987 with his wife, Lori. After visiting a few times, to escape
the snow, they moved here permanently from Massachusetts, and really enjoy the beautiful weather year round.
     In 2003 Phil & Lori bought the The Morning Muse Café, which is located adjacent to our office. A year later,
after Hurricane Charley 'visited' our area, Phil started working as our Office Manager, and is now a licensed Sales
Associate. Lori continues to operate the café.
     Phil's computer knowledge resulted in creating this website, and his eye for detail helps keep the office running
smoothly. Please contact him if you have any problems with our site. He appreciates your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
As a 'people person', he really enjoys helping others find their own 'piece of paradise', whether it is vacant land or a home. He will also  
be happy to provide information on this area, whether you are buying or selling.
