I am Vickee Lynn Douglas, P.A., an Associate Broker / Realtor with Downing-Frye Realty, Inc., and I have been listing and selling real estate in Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero since 1988. With more than 3 decades of experience —entirely in Southwest Florida—I bring deep local knowledge, seasoned judgment, and a steady, ethical approach to every transaction.
My connection to this area began in 1972, when I first visited Bonita Springs while vacationing from New Jersey. I fell in love with the community and returned home only to gather my belongings. Southwest Florida quickly became both my home and the foundation of a career I truly love. After living and working in Naples for more than a decade, I built a reputation for integrity, professionalism, and long-term client relationships throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends, and I am deeply grateful for their trust.
Buying or selling real estate is one of the most critical financial and emotional decisions people make. I do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics. My approach centers on education, transparency, and providing clients with accurate, timely information so they can make informed decisions. Over the years, I have navigated multiple market cycles and understand that values, conditions, and strategies evolve. I continue my education to stay current and to serve clients across generations effectively.
Professional involvement has always been important to me. I served 14 years as a Director on the Bonita Springs Estero Board of REALTORS® and chaired committees, including Ethics and Professional Standards. I was also a founding membership leader in establishing the Women’s Council of REALTORS® in Bonita. My credentials include REALTOR® of the Year, Gulfshore Life Five Star Award recipient, Platinum Award winner, Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute, Certified Negotiator, Distressed Property Expert, and membership in the National Real Estate Honor Society and the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. I am experienced in FIRPTA transactions, foreign buyers and sellers, and 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.
Every client and every property is unique. Depending on market conditions and the property itself, I employ targeted marketing strategies that may include professional photography, drone and sunset imagery, virtual tours, digital and social media exposure, and collaboration within one of Southwest Florida’s most established brokerages. Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. provides a strong local presence, international reach, and a collaborative environment that benefits my clients.
From contract to closing, my role is to guide you through inspections, financing, appraisals, insurance, title work, and negotiations—anticipating challenges, addressing issues promptly, and providing reassurance when emotions naturally arise. My goal is always the same: a smooth, informed, and successful transaction.
I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and to be your REALTOR® for life.
