Access Off-Market Luxury Homes Before Anyone Else

Meet Ava Sterling

After a decade leading luxury property acquisitions for a private family office in Manhattan, Ava traded the skyline for the shoreline — relocating to Naples with her two daughters and never looking back. That was 14 years ago. Today, she's one of the most connected and sought-after luxury brokers on Florida's Gulf Coast, known for her sharp eye, calm negotiation style, and the kind of discretion her clients expect at this level.

Ava's background in institutional real estate gives her an edge most residential agents simply don't have. She reads markets the way analysts read balance sheets — tracking macro trends, zoning shifts, and inventory cycles to position her clients ahead of the curve. Through deep relationships with builders, developers, estate attorneys, and other top agents, Ava routinely secures access to off-market properties before they ever reach the MLS. In a market where the best homes disappear in days, that early access is everything.

But what her clients remember most isn't the deal — it's the experience. From your first call to well after closing, Ava provides full concierge service: designer introductions, school placements, marina access, private club memberships, and a trusted network of vendors she's personally vetted over 14 years of Naples living. She doesn't just help you buy a home. She helps you build a life.
