Landmark Realty Group is proud to announce a new partnership with The Royal Shell Companies of Southwest Florida to provide its clients and customers with an even greater package of real estate services. Landmark will now be offering a full service vacation rental and property management division to its brokerage and development group.  

Landmark has been in the general brokerage and development business in the Cashiers-Highlands-Lake Glenville-Lake Toxaway market since 2004 and has enjoyed great success, consistently at or near the top of the market in sales dollar volume, units sold, and listings. Their veteran team of brokers has over 298 years of combined local experience and they remain active in multiple community organizations from the Cashiers Food Pantry to the Village Council as well as major involvement in the local churches and schools. The company’s Vision now continues to expand and integrate by joining forces with Royal Shell.  

The Royal Shell Companies are comprised of Royal Shell Vacations, Inc., a full service vacation and annual rental company with home watch services (www.royalshell.com); Royal Shell Real Estate, Inc., a full service real estate brokerage (www.royalshell- sales.com) and Royal Shell Property Management, a full service Condominium and Homeowner Association Management.

The Royal Shell business model intergrate rentals with sales with a “white glove” approach to customer care. The combined efforts of the companies allow homeowners and investors all of the conveniences necessary to maximize return on investment while enjoying impeccable customer service at every level.  Royal Shell Real Estate boasts over 100 realtors/brokers in 9 upscale offices, serving Bonita, Naples, Fort Myers, Ocala, Sanibel and Captiva. The company enjoyed 450 closed sales totaling $165,000,000 in 2011.

“We are excited to bring our business model which marries rentals and sales to the greater Cashiers, Highlands, Glenville, Toxaway area. We like the area so much and several of us own property now in the area,” said Donald DeLuca, Managing Broker of Royal Shell Real Estate and General Counsel for the companies.   Royal Shell Vacations, Inc., has been offering short and long term rental services to customers since 1994, offering a boutique style of rental management that caters to the needs of the owners. With over 1,800 units under management, the Royal Shell Vacations staff of 60 professionals has consistently been the leader in the rental market year after year in southwest Florida and rated the best vacation rental company on Sanibel and Captiva in 2004 through 2011.

According to Randy Bacik, CEO of Royal Shell Vacations, “We see the Cashiers and Highlands area as a great footprint to leverage our brand with Landmark’s to expand into and develop as the leading full service real estate company in the region.”  The partnership between the Royal Shell Companies and Landmark creates a reciprocating strategic dynamic with two companies that enjoy market dominance in markets where vacationers and owners seem to enjoy both markets. According to Michael Polly, V.P. of Operations of Royal Shell Real Estate, “Many guests and buyers in Southwest Florida also vacation and own in the Cashiers/ Highlands area. This is a great strategic move for Royal Shell and Landmark to continue to align these two markets together and expand the reach of both of our brands.”  The company also owns and oper- ates the Royal Shell Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club in Ocala, Florida. Golden Ocala was ranked as the 14th best golf course in Florida and home to the NCAA Division I Championship as well as the Florida Senior Championship.
