Amanda Bolduc, a Fort Myers eXp Realty ICON Agent and former U.S. Army Combat Engineer officer, specializes in Southwest Florida relocation, new construction, luxury, and waterfront properties. She reports 60 closings and nearly $30 million in 2026 sales volume.
-- Amanda Bolduc, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty serving Southwest Florida, has earned 2026 eXp ICON Agent status, reporting 60 closed transactions totaling nearly $30 million in sales volume and 13 pending properties as of September 28, 2026. Recently certified as a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (R.E.N.E), she also received the 2025 Real Producers Marketing Excellence Award alongside business partner Kelly Olin, reflecting her commitment to strategic, property-specific real estate guidance.
An Unusual Path to a Southwest Florida Practice
Before entering real estate, Amanda Bolduc served as a U.S. Army Combat Engineer officer and represented Team USA as a professional snow sculptor. She also competed on Season 4 of the Canadian television show “Race Against the Tide” in 2023. Additionally, she homeschooled her three children for 14 years and managed a homeschool co-op with over 90 attendees. Her military and artistic backgrounds contribute to her strategic planning, problem-solving, and attention to detail in real estate.
"I don't just unlock doors. I provide strategic market insight, skilled negotiation, and concierge-level service," Bolduc says.
There Is No Single Southwest Florida Market
August 2026 market data highlights significant differences across Southwest Florida. According to the Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association, single-family homes in Lee and Hendry counties averaged 48 days on market, with a median price of $364,999. Meanwhile, Naples recorded an average of 99 days on market and a median closed price of $575,000. Bolduc emphasizes property-specific analysis, considering community amenities, pricing, HOA and CDD fees, builder incentives, insurance costs, and competing listings rather than relying solely on regional statistics.
What eXp ICON Status Measures
The eXp ICON Agent program recognizes real estate professionals who achieve established production goals while contributing leadership and service to the brokerage community. Bolduc's 60 closed transactions in nine months reflect experience across relocations, new construction, luxury properties, resales, and investment purchases, involving negotiations, inspections, and financing considerations.
For Sellers, Pricing and Preparation Are One Decision
With 5,803 active listings across Lee and Hendry counties in August 2026, competitive pricing and property presentation are essential. Bolduc evaluates comparable listings, property conditions, upgrades, and community amenities to develop tailored selling strategies. Professional photography, maintenance, decluttering, and highlighting lifestyle features help position properties effectively in the market.
For Buyers, the Purchase Price Is Not the Cost
Bolduc advises buyers to evaluate the total cost of homeownership beyond the purchase price, particularly with new construction. Key considerations include lot premiums, upgrades, HOA dues, CDD assessments, insurance, taxes, and future resale competition. Builder incentives, including mortgage rate buydowns and closing-cost assistance, are assessed alongside long-term financial implications.
New Construction Is Not a Floor Plan Decision
Southwest Florida's expanding master-planned communities offer multiple builders, floor plans, pricing structures, and amenities. Bolduc helps buyers compare construction options, builder incentives, completion schedules, and community costs while considering their long-term plans. Her approach focuses on matching properties with individual financial goals and lifestyle needs.
Lifestyle Before ZIP Code
Bolduc prioritizes lifestyle preferences when helping clients explore Southwest Florida communities. Whether seeking beach access, golf, pickleball, resort-style amenities, or low-maintenance seasonal living, she evaluates neighborhoods based on daily living preferences rather than location alone. This approach helps buyers identify communities aligned with their priorities and future plans.
Core Communities
Amanda Bolduc specializes in Southwest Florida communities, including The Place at Corkscrew in Estero, known for its resort-style amenities, lagoon pool, and no CDD fees; Verdana Village, featuring homes by Pulte and Lennar, indoor sports facilities, and recreational amenities; and Vivid Shores in Bonita Springs, a gated lakefront development with luxury homes, waterfront amenities, and recreational facilities. Her expertise also extends to Kingston and Esplanade Lake Club, with expanded Kingston coverage planned for 2027.
Four Markets, Four Different Calculations
Bolduc serves Estero, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples, each offering distinct housing markets and lifestyles. Estero features master-planned communities and new construction, while Bonita Springs offers coastal and inland properties. Fort Myers provides diverse housing options, and Naples operates within a higher-priced, slower-moving market. With homes averaging 48 days on market in Lee and Hendry counties compared to 99 days in Naples, Bolduc emphasizes community-specific market analysis to guide real estate decisions.
Honest Advice as a Service, Not an Obstacle
The Southwest Florida pitch is easy to romanticize. Sunshine, beaches, golf, pools, palm trees, waterfront.
Responsible guidance also covers insurance, HOA obligations, community restrictions, CDD costs, builder contract terms, resale competition, inspection findings, property taxes, assessments, and maintenance, and then asks whether the budget still feels comfortable once all of it is counted.
Bolduc treats those conversations as “the service” rather than as friction against the sale.
