Who We Are
About Home Sellers Choice
Introducing Home Sellers Choice; a venture founded by seasoned, veteran Broker, Sergio DeCesare and real estate sales & marketing professional, Autumn Lizell. Established in 2022, this pioneering initiative arose in response to anticipated shifts in the dynamic SWFL market—a foresight that many other brokers and agencies chose to overlook.
Boasting an impressive 35 years of industry experience, Sergio DeCesare’s extensive career has been defined by a multifaceted involvement in both traditional and unconventional real estate investments, ranging from rental properties to multi-family residences, mobile homes / parks and vacant land. His expertise extends into private money lending and seller financing, demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of the diverse facets of the real estate landscape.
Notably, Sergio was among the first to attain the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert designation, actively navigating the complexities of short sales and investment real estate from 2007 to 2015. His involvement in the acquisition, negotiation, and short selling of over 300 properties affords him a level of insight that sets him apart in the industry—a depth of understanding that transcends the capabilities of most brokers and agents.
Even today, Sergio remains a trusted advisor in real estate investment, offering invaluable guidance in acquisition, rehabilitation, property management, and innovative lending strategies. Clients under his stewardship typically enjoy impressive average returns ranging from 18% to 22% on their investments—a testament to his unwavering commitment to maximizing their financial potential.
Sergio has partnered with Autumn Lizell, who also is a Certified Distressed Property Expert and a dynamic whirlwind of energy and information. Autumn makes it her mission to seek out and aggregate all the important data points required to help buyers and sellers make the best possible decisions based on economic data, real estate data, trends, sentiment and the needs of her clients. Her expertise and wisdom of this market is remarkable. She will dazzle you with her wisdom, demeanor and drive. You can catch Autumn’s reports and opinions on her social media channels as well as her occasional “No BS Real Estate!” speaking events held in Naples, Florida.
