SANIBEL, FLORIDA

After serving two years on the Sanibel City Parks and Recreation Committee, I choose to devote more of my time to the island youth sports programs directly. Sanibel Flag Football, which I started 4 years ago, currently has 120 island children playing on Friday nights at the Sanibel School. For more Flag Football information please visit: www.SanibelFlagFootball.com. a Another volunteer project I’m tackling is to help all Sanibel youth sports coordinate onto one master website allowing children to sign up for Flag Football, Little League Baseball and Softball teams, Basketball, Soccer and other island youth sports easily. The Sanibel and Captiva Kiwanis Club keeps me involved both on the Board and as a member. Not many organizations could get me to cook spaghetti all day for the annual Kiwanis All You Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner, park cars for community events and coordinate the Luminary Night bag lighting on the first Friday of December. Last year I joined the Board of the Schoolhouse Theater which is Sanibel’s only live theater. Coming from a family of 4 boys, my background was heavy on sports and its really great to be involved with the Arts! If you haven’t been to the Schoolhouse Theater, you are missing some outstanding shows! In 2005 I had the honor of running for Sanibel’s City Council. Although I did not win the election, the experience was a great education in island politics and again affirmed to me that Sanibel is truly a community where all of its citizens are passionate about this great island and its many wonderful resources. 2006 marked the first year that I was in charge of coordinating the Christmas Eve Service on Lighthouse Beach where 1500 residents and visitors gathered to enjoy a non-denominational celebration of Christmas. If you are ever on Sanibel over the holidays this is a wonderful event for the entire family. This year I am excited to be a new board member for the Shell Harbor Home Owners Association and look forward to working with all of the Shell Harbor residents. , I have been very busy in real estate helping others achieve their Sanibel real estate dreams. After my first year on Sanibel as a full time Realtor, I was nominated by fellow island Realtors as Sanibel Island’s Real Estate Rookie of the Year. The following two years, I was honored as one of Southwest Florida’s Real Estate Top Guns. This honor was given to those Realtors who successfully merge today’s ever changing high tech marketing tools with good old fashioned hard work to successfully help their clients buy and sell real estate. In the last 5 years I also worked to obtain my GRI – Graduate of Realtor Institute designation, and my CRS – Certified Residential Specialist designation. I also obtained my Broker’s License. At the beginning of 2007, I expanded into Pfeifer’s Paradise Properties Realty Group allowing fellow agents to work with me. This is an exciting change and it is great to work with such a professional group of Realtors. This year I am also sponsoring a series of seminars titled “Ask the Experts” –“A Real Estate Perspective”. Each seminar will have 5 guest speakers who are locally recognized experts in their field including Mortgages, Insurance, Investments, 1031 Tax Exchanges and Real Estate. If you would like more information about attending an upcoming seminar please give me a call. These will be great informal sessions filled with valuable information and I hope to sponsor them in season each year. Changes, designations and licenses aside, I’m still the same Eric Pfeifer and you can always reach me easily. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your real estate dreams and goals. I would like to be your Sanibel Island real estate professional. Pfeifer Realty Group has been open for 7 years now and we could not be happier. Each year the Brokerage has grown and we have enjoyed meeting and helping many wonderful buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals. While some buyers are ready to buy immediately, we recognize that others are just beginning to explore our area for a a future retirement, second home purchase or relocation because we were in their shoes in 1996. We made our dream come true 5 years after our first real estate exploration trip to Sanibel. In 2013 we formed a partnership with 7 Time Emmy Award Winning Filmmaker David E. Carter and have launched two major ongoing community service projects with David's help. The first is the Pfeifer Documentary Series & Supporting Art Auctions and you can see more information about this project on Kim works closely with seller’s schedules creating a smooth listing process from staging tips to professional photography and required paperwork. During the active listing process, Kim provides showing feedback to our sellers. Kim has been a Notary Public for over 25 years and provides free notary services for clients and visitors. "Please stop in, I am happy to assist you in any notary needs". (pronounced “fifer”) grew up in Baltimore, Maryland where he attended the Gilman School for Boys and later graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Civil Engineering. Eric worked as an Engineer and Project Manager on jobs in both Georgia and Florida building bridges and wharfs and beltways. Eric later joined his two older brothers in a family business where they grew their company rapidly earning recognition from Inc. 500 for two consecutive years as one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. As a business owner managing over 80 employees, and working crazy hours 6 and often 7 days a week, Eric cherished his family time. Family vacations to Sanibel were always too short and too far between. After the birth of his second child, Eric and his wife decided that Sanibel could no longer be just a dream put off for future retirement, but a home for their family year round. . Pfeifer obtained both his Realtor license and his Contractor License at the same time. Always a quick study, Pfeifer was honored as Sanibel & Captiva’s “Rookie Realtor of the Year” by his fellow Realtors in 2002. Then in 2003 and 2004 Eric was recognized as one of Southwest Florida’s “Real Estate Top Gun Realtors”. The following year, Eric earned the top agent award for all of VIP in Southwest Florida. Eric’s Real Estate Website: www.SunnySanibel.com has received top honors as one of Florida’s most informative real estate websites for several years in a row until the competition was retired.
