Beattie Development, an award-winning homebuilding and remodeling company, has expanded its services to include property management and real estate transactions.

The Beattie Realty Team opened recently with an office next to the corporate headquarters in Cape Coral. Beattie Development founder and president Paul Beattie said he expanded into property management and real estate sales in order to offer more complete home buying services to his clients. He is now is recruiting licensed real estate agents and brokers to round out the team.

“Our goal is to be able to search for the ideal land for our clients who are building new homes, list and sell homes for our previous homebuilding and remodeling clients, and help all our customers with property transactions,” Beattie explained. “The property management division is needed for our clients who live outside the state and country. Many of them have asked us for help managing their homes for vacation and short-term rentals and we are committed to meeting their needs.”

Beattie, whose company has experienced a 50 percent growth in the past three years, hopes to have at least two realtors in place before the end of the year and grow the Realty Team to 15 agents by 2019.
