Family health issues forced Tania Pleischl into retiring early from a career with FedEx. She had also enjoyed a brief stint in real estate during those years, and upon returning to Fort Myers from Memphis, decided to give real estate a second look. “I love working in real estate. It is fun bringing new owners to new property. I love being able to find the right fit for both buyers and sellers.”
Tania and her husband took time off to sail their Hans Christian sail boat across the Atlantic Ocean and back again from 2006 through 2008. “We lived on board while in Europe, specifically in the Azores Islands, Portugal, Madeira Islands, Canary Islands, and various places in the Caribbean including Barbados, Grenada, the Grenadines, Bequia, St. Lucia, and the British Virgin Islands.” On return from their “odyssey”, former customers asked Tania to represent them in the purchase of a prestigious Gulf Harbour home. “Even though I hold a Broker’s license in the state of Florida, I wanted to associate myself with a great company that was a natural fit for me. I knew some other agents that had worked for CornerStone Coastal Properties and polled them. It was all good.” After meeting with the brokers, Tania decided to hang her license at CornerStone Coastal Properties. “They helped me to fit in the new technology I had not experienced, having been away from the field for some time. ‘A great team and a great office. We were able to facilitate the purchase of the Gulf Harbour Estate, and it was a quick and seamless deal.”
The Pleischl’s are Gulf Harbour home owners themselves. Their thirty three foot sailboat – Saretta’s Dream – was the sixth yacht to arrive in the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club’s brand new marina in 1995. Construction of their Pulte Villa in Osprey Landing was completed in 1996. “As a result I have been able to watch the entire community develop, meet with all the builders and see a great number of the properties being constructed over the years – valuable knowledge when selling the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club lifestyle”, Tania says. With all of the amenities the community offers, she can think of few reasons to venture out, except to travel to nearby shops and restaurants.
Tania’s husband and best friend, Bob, is retired from flying for FedEx. He is also retired from the Air Force, where he flew in Vietnam and 141′s as a reservist out of California and Charleston, South Carolina for 20 years. Currently a member of the Sports Car Club of America [SCCA], he races a Spec Racer Ford. As Tania puts it, “We travel to some of the major tracks in this country to race on weekends: Sebring, Daytona, Homestead, Palm Beach International Raceway, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, and Road Atlanta. We also are big fans of Formula One, IndyCar, Rolex, Continental Tire, NASCAR, and Le Mans Racing. We had considered traveling back across the Atlantic this year, but weather patterns are such that we decided to wait. We have been car traveling since 2008. We spent several weeks traveling out west and up the Pacific Coast Highway in 2010 before returning home to Gulf Harbour. We car traveled up to the Canadian Maritimes in 2011. This year we will visit our family and friends in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Ohio. We will also do some more SCCA racing.”

“My goal is to offer cutting edge tools to guide my clients in the process of purchasing or marketing a property.
Rob McNamee first visited Fort Myers during a golf outing in 1995. That’s all it took to convince him to stay.
“I liked the area so much I went out that week, and with the help of a Realtor who was very good , found a home, put in an offer, and it was accepted. ‘Went home to Hudson, NH, put my home on the market, sold it, quit my job, and moved to Fort Myers, Florida. I still live in the same Fort Myers home, in an established golf community, with great neighbors, central to everything, with the quality of life that I wanted.”
“The reason people come to this area is for the weather and the lifestyle, from the southernmost winery in the US, the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, to the Everglades. There is great, year long outdoor sporting from golf and tennis, to fishing and kayaking, and spectator sports like pro and minor league baseball, hockey and golf events. The tropical weather enhances nature watching from county parks to Everglades National Park, with a host of tropical birds, mammals and animals.”
Prior to landing in Fort Myers, Rob graduated with a BA and went to work for Columbia University in NY as an underwater photographer. For eight years, he worked a territory from the equator to points south, exploring exotic destinations. “The travel and education I received from this position helped open my eyes to the world and my future. When I started in high tech sales, I continued my extensive travels to many countries. I learned to blend in and take things in stride.”
After 911, Rob decided to give up the traveling life. He’d been pursued for a number of years by a local real estate broker to become an associate. In 2004 he acquired his real estate license and went into real estate sales full time. A true salesman at heart, Rob embraces the challenge of working one on one with buyers and sellers and sees the ever changing market as another adventure.
“When I started in real estate, I went with one of the “big three” firms in the industry.” Costs and outdated management practices caused Rob to rethink his decision. He wanted an agency that was more personal, kept costs realistic, and embraced emerging technologies. His search led him to CornerStone Coastal Properties. “After more than three years, I know it was the right decision, and have never regretted my move. I enjoy working there, the daily challenges and the people I work with.”
Noelia Shaw has lived most of her life in the Naples/Fort Myers area. Being a local, however, has not diminished her appreciation for the Southwest Florida lifestyle.
“I love having access to our spectacular, beautiful beaches. You just can’t beat the shopping, dining, and entertainment attractions Southwest Florida has to offer.” She recommends the many outdoor shopping malls such as Coconut Point, Miromar Outlet, and Gulf Coast Town Center. “Or take a stroll and do some window shopping in the world renowned shops on 5th Avenue South! Another must-see is to take a trolley ride or walk the mile long boardwalk to Clam Pass Beach.”
“I love going into homes with my clients and seeing their face light up when we find “the one”. It is a feeling of satisfaction when you are a part of one of the biggest decisions and purchases one makes: buying a HOME.”
“I joined CornerStone Coastal Properties about five years ago. I chose CornerStone because I wanted a company where I had the freedom to grow my business at my pace. CornerStone Coastal Properties has been a wonderful company to partner with.”
