A New Chapter for the Devin Sweazy Group: Growing the Team, Keeping the Standard

Growth is exciting, but for me, it has always needed to be intentional.

Over the years, my real estate business has grown through relationships, referrals and, most importantly, the trust clients place in me when making some of their largest financial and lifestyle decisions.

As that business has grown, I have been thoughtful about what growth should look like for the Devin Sweazy Group.

The answer was never simply to do more transactions or become a bigger team. It was to create the capacity to provide an even higher level of service while protecting the personal, hands-on approach that has always been at the center of my business.

Today, I am excited to introduce the growing Devin Sweazy Group at Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, serving buyers and sellers throughout Marco Island and Southeast Naples.

Built Around One Standard

Real estate, particularly in a market as nuanced as Marco Island, requires far more than putting a property into the MLS or opening doors for a buyer.

For sellers, there is preparation, pricing strategy, vendor coordination, property positioning, photography, video, marketing, showing management, negotiation and countless details between contract and closing.

For buyers, there is an entirely different level of due diligence. On Marco Island, two homes that appear similar on paper can offer very different ownership experiences. Boating access, seawalls, docks, canal characteristics, exposure, elevation, flood considerations, insurance, property condition and location can all matter.

As my business has grown, so has the amount of work happening behind the scenes for every client.

Building a team allows us to provide more resources, more attention and more support without compromising the standard of service our clients expect.

Different roles. Different strengths. One standard.

Meet Our Client Services + Operations Support

Hannah Marek | Client Services + Operations

Hannah works alongside me behind the scenes to help coordinate the many moving pieces involved in delivering a seamless real estate experience.

From assisting with property preparation and vendor coordination to supporting our marketing initiatives and helping keep transactions and client communication organized, her role adds another layer of attention to the details that matter.

This is particularly important for many of the sellers I represent who do not live on Marco Island full time. Preparing a second home or investment property for market can require coordinating contractors, photographers, staging, repairs, inspections and other services while the owner may be hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Having additional support allows us to make that process easier for our clients while ensuring that nothing gets overlooked.

Meet Sophia Popoff, Realtor® and Buyer Specialist

Sophia Popoff | Realtor® + Buyer Specialist

I am also excited to welcome Sophia Popoff to the Devin Sweazy Group as our Buyer Specialist.

Sophia's connection to Marco Island is something that simply cannot be replicated through market research.

Born and raised on Marco Island, she has spent nearly three decades watching the island grow and evolve while remaining deeply connected to its people, schools, neighborhoods and traditions.

Her family has been involved in the Marco Island community and its leadership for more than 20 years. Today, Sophia is raising two third-generation islanders who attend the same school she attended as a child and where she later spent five years as an educator.

That background brings an invaluable perspective to our clients.

Before entering real estate, Sophia's career in education strengthened many of the qualities that make an exceptional real estate advisor: listening carefully, communicating clearly, understanding individual needs and advocating for the people who rely on her.

For buyers considering a home on Marco Island or in the surrounding Southwest Florida market, Sophia brings not only real estate knowledge but a genuine understanding of what it means to live here.

What This Means for Our Clients

While our team is growing, the philosophy behind the business is not changing.

We believe clients deserve honest advice, intelligent strategy, clear communication and exceptional attention to detail.

For sellers, that means continuing to take a launch-focused approach to bringing a property to market. We look carefully at preparation, positioning, pricing and presentation before a home ever becomes active. We develop a marketing story around what makes the property distinctive and use sophisticated photography, video, digital marketing and targeted exposure to reach the buyers most likely to appreciate it.

For buyers, it means having the resources and local knowledge to look beyond the listing itself and understand the property, location and lifestyle they are actually purchasing.

And for every client, it means having a team behind the transaction while maintaining the personal guidance and accountability that have always been central to my business.

Growing With Intention

I am proud of what we are building.

The Devin Sweazy Group isn't being built around volume for the sake of volume. It is being built around the client experience.

As our presence continues to grow throughout Marco Island and Southeast Naples, my goal remains the same: to provide thoughtful advice, sophisticated marketing, strong representation and a level of service that earns our clients' trust long after a transaction is complete.

More attention. More resources. More support.

The same standard.

I could not be more excited for this next chapter and for the opportunity to introduce our clients and community to the women helping me build it.
