This living website is authored by Chris Griffith, a real estate agent and listing specialist in sunny Bonita Springs, Florida.  I’m a long time resident of Bonita Springs and a local real estate agent at Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. in Bonita Springs, Florida.  I've been licensed to sell Florida real estate since 1999.

I’ve authored real estate blogs for over a decade. I had grown tired of the blanket statements about the Bonita Springs real estate market without regard to how local it actually is I took it upon myself to write accurate coverage of the local real estate market. The truth is in every article I write and it is usually about something that I have personally encountered or experienced during the course of selling real estate.  Everything that I’ve learned since moving here in the mid 1980's and in the decades since I've been a Realtor in Bonita Springs is openly and freely shared.

Writing is my recreation and also an extension of my business. I proudly wrote the real estate column for Naples Daily News for several years and I also free lance upon request.  I’m a frequent contributor to Southwest Spotlight magazine and Life In Naples magazine. I’m always writing or creating content which is distributed on any number of social media platforms. Plus, in 2020 I wrote a best selling book, a true story about a retired FDNY firefighter who found an antique fire helmet in Naples, Florida and returned it to Ladder 42 in the Bronx the day before 911. It is titled; It Started With a Helmet. 

When I’m not working I spend time with my family.  I have grown twins, Jonathan and Jennafer who also live in Bonita Springs.  They are both married and have started their own families. We are all residents of Downtown Bonita Springs. We are lucky to see each other several times per week. If I must say so myself, I am a great cook so everyone shows up for our regular family dinner on Sunday. I’m very lucky that I get to spend so much time with my grandson Aiden and my grand daughter Madison and the newest addition to the family, Winston.

You can learn more about me and my family on Facebook.  I also moderate a Facebook group for locals that you may find interesting.  To learn more visit The Bonita Springs Estero Community Forum.
