Partnered REALTORS® Kristine Bareis and Jeffery Gilman are a dynamic wife and husband team with over 40 years of expertise in new construction, waterfront, beachfront, and luxury residential sales on Marco Island. They are consistently ranked among the island’s top- producing real estate professionals, especially within the exclusive Cape Marco development. Originally from Wisconsin, Kris and Jeff both graduated from the University of Wisconsin with degrees in education. Seeking to leave behind the Midwest’s frigid winter temperatures and snowfalls, Kristine and Jeffery moved to Marco Island in 1977 and began living their dream life in Florida. After falling in love with the unique beauty of Marco Island, they began their real estate careers the following year with the goal to introduce others to all that the community has to offer. More than four decades later, Kris and Jeff still call Marco home, and have helped thousands of customers find their own piece of paradise on the island. Kris, a broker associate, and Jeff, a sales associate, have a long history with the sales, design, development, and marketing of Cape Marco as they were involved from inception and first shovel of dirt to the completion of the exclusive gated community’s six properties. Kris served as the director of sales at Cape Marco from 1991-2001, and Jeff served as an onsite sales associate. Their extensive knowledge and unique understanding of the community as real estate professionals – as well as Cape Marco residents – has proven to be highly effective in marketing the island’s exclusive beachfront community. In 2001, this hard-working couple established their own brokerage, focusing on Cape Marco resales while providing a very personalized and service-oriented approach to their buyers and sellers. Kris and Jeff’s agency was highly successful and produced a major market share of all sales within Cape Marco. In their new partnership with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, Kris and Jeff provide an elevated experience for their valued customers by drawing upon the legendary company’s powerful global network. Kris and Jeff are members of the Marco Island Area Association of REALTORS® and the Naples Area Board of REALTORS®. https://kristinebareis.premiersothebysrealty.com
