My husband and I are real estate agents in Iowa. We had my mother’s condo on the market for almost two years with another agent with no results. We were constantly having to call the agent for information about our property. It was a very frustrating experience. Dustin became our agent and everything changed quickly. He was very knowledgeable about the market and kept us constantly informed. Despite the difficult market Dustin was confident he would sell the condo and he did within four months!!!! We had mitigation issues that needed to be handled before closing. He went above and beyond to get these issues resolved. The closing ran smoothly and on time all because of Dustin’s hard work and diligence. He is truly a professional, very personable and a pleasure to work with. He totally takes charge. You know he cares and he will work very hard for you. We would use no other agent and he will be recommended to all our clients and friends who will be looking to buy or sell in the Naples area. Good job Dustin and thanks again for everything!!!!

First of all, I am a real estate agent in Indiana. I know the business and I certainly know the difference between good agents and great agents. Dustin is a great agent! His attention to detail, incredible work ethic and communication with both my husband and me, made our selling process run so smooth. I’ve worked with agents in the past who don’t communicate but Dustin kept in contact with us, answering our questions, giving us market updates and feedback on all showings.
Even during a so called, “slow time in real estate”, Dustin was able to secure a buyer and close the transaction within six months. He always remained positive in these challenging times, and we had such faith in him, because of his positive attitude. We just knew he would sell our house for us.
I have recommended Dustin to my friends, family members, and clients with the upmost confidence that he will treat them with the same professional and enthusiastic attitude that helped me sell my home. He never disappoints. Dustin is the only real estate agent in Naples I recommend to my friends.

Dustin Beard represented my wife and me in our real estate search/purchase in Naples in 2006 (Pelican Bay). We were greatly impressed with Dustin’s professionalism, attention to detail, promptness, “tribal” knowledge and ability to help negotiate a good “deal”. Dustin was always courteous and well-organized and even provided “after-sale” assistance including helping us select an insurance company and various contractors. Our experience with Dustin was so pleasant that we’ve recommended him to our friends. To anyone considering a real estate purchase in Naples, we highly recommend using Dustin’s services. We will certainly use him again! (For your information, people consider us very difficulty to please. The fact that Dustin did so is a true testament to his ability to deal with people of “all types”.)

From the moment we met Dustin, we felt confident that he would be the one to find our dream home.  In only a short time, he narrowed down the area and type of home that we truly wanted to be in. He is aggressive yet not at all pushy. He is 100% committed to his clients and treats everyone like family.  I can still remember the day he phoned us about the house.  He was excited and knew this house was going to be a “winner” for us.  It truly was! Dustin’s dedication did not end at the closing.  He was always available to answer questions concerning our new home, recommend reputable service people, or just give his opinion on any issues that may have come to mind.  Three years have passed and we truly love everything about our home.  It’s wonderful knowing that we can still rely on Dustin if we need him.

I am writing on behalf of Dustin Beard who represented us in the purchase of our get away home on a little island off of Everglades City a few years ago. The island house was not yet constructed and the opportunity was very unique as it is only accessible by boat.
The island was under construction at the time we became interested in the project. Dustin did an excellent job of representing the proposed home as well as what form the entire island would take on.  If he did not personally know the answers to my questions, he made a point of seeking out any information I required.  Dustin was readily available and went out of his way to help us choose the best location, gave us helpful construction advice on our house, and finally was very valuable in acting as a liaison between the developer, contractor, and the home owner’s association.
Dustin was always enthusiastic, responded to our inquiries in a timely manner and worked well with the various parties involved with the purchase, building and closing of our vacation home. I would not hesitate to enlist Dustin’s services in the future for our real estate needs.

My wife and I were represented by Dustin Beard for the purchase of our Naples condominium. Due to the fact that we were “out of towners” it was particularly important that we had professional and knowledgeable representation. Dustin surprassed our expectations on all counts. He was committed to finding us the absolute right situation, and displayed total grasp of the local market and submarkets. As a commercial real estate professional myself, I can strongly recommend Dustin and will utilize his services for all my naples area real estate needs.

Dustin: You were by far the best realtor with whom we have ever dealt. Your level of service set you apart. With other realtors, it seemed that we were always making the calls to get information. It was a refreshing change to deal with you, since you took the initiative to keep us informed and were always accessible to answer our questions. We were impressed by your knowledge of the local market, and valued your insights on location and pricing. It was a pleasure to deal with someone who was not only personable, but professional and effective.
