About Ted Degroot

Ted DeGroot has been a dedicated real estate professional since 1997, focusing primarily on residential properties in Collier County, Florida.

Following his college education and military service, DeGroot embarked on a career in the audio-visual industry, where he worked at a television station in Flint, Michigan. His talents quickly led him to develop promotional campaigns for the United Fund, as well as television specials for major automotive companies. Notably, he served as the radio and television producer for the Detroit Red Wings and contributed to the creation of the "Be All You Can Be" campaign for the U.S. Army.

Upon relocating to Florida, DeGroot shifted his focus to promoting high-quality resorts to international tourists. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish one of the early internet directories, paving the way for online searches. He also ventured into e-commerce, business brokerage, and the marketing of luxury homes. Since 2000, his efforts have been concentrated on enhancing the value of real estate investments through the buying and selling of residential properties.

An avid runner, golfer, and sailor, DeGroot enjoys the Gulf of Mexico's waters and occasionally plays tennis. He has a penchant for adventure, having explored the Everglades and dined in South Beach. Before settling in Southwest Florida, he was an enthusiastic duck hunter, downhill skier, and camper, often challenging himself with cross-country skiing and winter camping along Lake Superior. He also gained experience working on various pleasure boats, including a 48-foot racing sailboat on Lakes Huron and Erie, akin to America's Cup racing.

DeGroot's travels have taken him across the United States and Canada, including a memorable drive to Alaska with side trips to Inuvik and Labrador. His international experiences span Europe, Northern Africa, and parts of Northern South America.

Since moving to Naples from Rochester, Michigan, in 1994, DeGroot has actively participated in numerous community organizations. He has served as a board member and committee chair for his local homeowner association, as well as for the Friends of Fakahatchee, a support organization for the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. He is also involved with the East Naples Civic Association and serves on the board of East Naples Kiwanis, a service organization focused on assisting children in need. Additionally, he has held leadership roles with the Naples Players, a prominent community theater, where he received one of the organization’s highest honors.

DeGroot is recognized for his in-depth knowledge of Southwest Florida real estate and his commitment to being a formidable negotiator, dedicated to achieving optimal results for his clients.

Major Collier County, Florida Real Estate Markets

Naples dominates as the county's primary real estate hub, with its downtown core, beach communities, and exclusive golf course developments like Pelican Bay and Port Royal commanding some of Florida's highest property values. The city's luxury market extends into surrounding areas including Bonita Springs, which straddles the Lee-Collier county line, and eastward communities like Golden Gate and Lely Resort, offering more accessible price points while maintaining the Naples lifestyle appeal.

Beyond Naples, Collier County encompasses diverse markets including Marco Island's high-rise condominiums and waterfront estates, Immokalee's agricultural and working-class communities, and the emerging Ave Maria planned community. The Eastern Collier region, including areas near Everglades City, presents unique opportunities in eco-tourism and rural properties, while the Estates area offers large-lot homes popular with buyers seeking privacy and space.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Complexity

Collier County's real estate market operates on distinct seasonal rhythms, with peak activity during winter months when seasonal residents and tourists drive demand, followed by slower summers that often present opportunities for locals and investors. The market's geographic diversity creates multiple micro-markets, from beachfront condos starting at seven figures to inland single-family homes, rural acreage, and commercial properties serving the county's tourism and agricultural industries.

Environmental factors significantly influence development patterns, with wetlands preservation, hurricane considerations, and flood zones creating complex regulatory environments that require specialized local knowledge. This complexity, combined with the area's appeal to international buyers and investors, has created a sophisticated market where agents must understand luxury sales protocols, resort property management, and agricultural land transactions.

Why Businesses Need Collier County, Florida Agent Contact Data

The concentration of affluent real estate professionals in Collier County creates exceptional opportunities for B2B service providers, from mortgage companies and title services to luxury home contractors, technology platforms, and marketing agencies. These agents collectively handle billions in annual transactions and require specialized services including staging companies, photography services, legal support, and continuing education providers.

Financial services companies, insurance providers, and wealth management firms find particular value in connecting with Collier County agents who work with high-net-worth clients requiring sophisticated financial products. Additionally, technology companies, CRM providers, and digital marketing platforms can leverage these agent contacts to penetrate Florida's competitive real estate technology market, while home service businesses can build referral networks essential for success in this relationship-driven market.
