     John Shields, also known as The TopHat Man, has been a resident of Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte for 18 years and resides with his wife of 39 years, in Emerald Pointe in Punta Gorda. 
     John has over 30 years experience in Buying and Selling Real Estate. In today's market, it takes more than the average realtor. John is the ONLY source you'll need in SouthWest Florida. My experience and knowledge of the area includes more than just the business of real estate -- John knows the people and the orgainizations that make this area unique. John is also a member of the local Kiwanis, Punta Gorda Biz Alliance, and the Historical District.
     The way John feels about peoples homes are as if each one is a unique and special GEM. Each home has its own look and feel. Just like a rare jewel. For this reason John has named each of the homes he list a different GEM called John's GEMS. See if you can't find the 'Hidden GEM' or possibly a 'Diamond in the Rough'.
     His long experience with the Charlotte County area can help you find your place. John can show you wonderful aerial and street view photos, as well as our current floorplans -- all from the comfort of your home or my office.   Check out some the properties SOLD by the TopHatMan ! ! !
