Bellina the queen of Bonita real estate market [South Florida]
When Susie Bellina arrived in Bonita Springs in 1979, she never envisioned that this pit stop between Naples and Fort Myers would one day become such a real estate hot spot.
“I came down for a visit and I remember that Bonita Springs was this quaint little place with homes really spread out,” said Bellina. “It was completely different than it is today.”
Fresh out of college and armed with a master’s degree in biology from Montclair State College, Bellina came from New Jersey to stay with her parents.
In sleepy, little Bonita Springs, Bellina had no idea how she was going to put her degree to work.
