Pulte's Brixton model and STOCK's full designer-decorated collection — Clive Daniel, Pizzazz, Boutique, and Soco — are open now. We'll walk them with you, give you our honest take on every homesite, and make sure you're protected before you ever speak to a sales team.

An Edge Most Agents Don't Have

Mark Borg Has a Construction Background.

Most buyer's agents tour the model home and check the finishes. Mark reads the structure. His construction background means he knows what to look for during walkthroughs, what questions to ask the site supervisor, and what issues in the framing, grading, or rough work are worth flagging before drywall goes up.

That is not something you get from the builder's team. It is not something most agents offer. It is what you get when you work with us.

About the Community

Bonita Springs' Last Lakefront
Gated Community

Vivid Shores is a landmark in Southwest Florida real estate — a 1,031-acre master-planned lakefront community representing the last opportunity to build a gated lakefront address in Bonita Springs. The community is centered on three extraordinary freshwater lakes, formed from a former rock and sand mine and transformed into a stunning aquatic centerpiece for waterfront living and recreation.

Positioned on Bonita Grande Drive in north Bonita Springs, Vivid Shores delivers an exceptional location: two miles from Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach Preserve, ten minutes to Downtown Bonita Springs, and convenient access to Coconut Point, Miromar Outlets, US-41, and I-75. The community sits squarely between Naples and Estero — one of the most sought-after corridors in all of Southwest Florida.

The 13-acre amenity campus is anchored by a 14,000-square-foot clubhouse, resort-style pool and spa, lakefront outdoor restaurant and bar, fitness center with saunas, and sport courts — all oriented toward the lakes. Gas-powered boats are officially permitted on 400+ acres of freshwater, making Vivid Shores one of the very few new construction communities in Bonita Springs with a true boating lifestyle.

New Construction Buyer Representation

The Single Most Important Thing
You Can Do: Call Us Before You Visit

The on-site sales teams at Vivid Shores work for Pulte and STOCK — not for you. Buyer's agent representation through The Borg Group is completely free to you; the builder pays our commission. Once you register at the sales office without an agent, you may permanently forfeit your right to independent representation. Call or email us before your first visit — it costs you nothing and protects everything.

Your representation is free to you. Our commission is paid by the builder.

Reason 1

You Pay Nothing Extra

The builder has already budgeted the buyer's agent commission into every home. If you walk in without an agent, that money stays with the builder — you don't save anything. You just give up the representation.

Reason 2

A Second Set of Eyes on the Contract

Builder purchase agreements can be 60–80 pages long, written entirely in the builder's favor. Cancellation rights, deposit schedules, and price lock provisions all have nuances that aren't explained at the sales table. We walk you through every clause before you sign.

Reason 3

Incentives the Builder Won't Advertise

Builders regularly offer closing cost credits, design center allowances, and interest rate buydowns to move specific inventory — but only to buyers who know to ask. These change month to month and are rarely posted anywhere.

Reason 4

Homesite Selection Done Right

Not all lakefront lots are equal. Sun orientation, lot depth, proximity to the amenity campus, and easement setbacks all affect livability and resale value. We evaluate every option with you before you commit.

Reason 5

An Advocate Through Construction

The build process takes months. Questions come up. Timelines shift. Change orders happen. We stay through every phase — pre-drywall inspection, final walkthrough, punch list. The builder's team is managing dozens of homes. We're focused on yours.

Reason 6

Market Context the Builder Can't Give You

The builder's team knows their community. We know the entire market — resale trends, how Vivid Shores pricing stacks up against alternatives, and what a specific homesite might realistically be worth in 5 years. That context shapes every decision you make.

What Happens When You Reach Out

A Simple Conversation. No Pressure.

You Call or Email

We talk through what you're looking for — budget, timeline, must-haves — and answer every question you have about Vivid Shores. No appointment needed.

We Prep You

Before you set foot in the sales center, we give you a current homesite analysis, our honest assessment of available lots, and the questions you need to ask the builder's team.

We Tour With You

We accompany you to Vivid Shores, walk homesites with you, evaluate lot premiums, and give you an independent perspective on every option the builder presents — in real time.

We Stay With You

From contract through close through the day you move in — we're your point of contact for every walkthrough, question, and decision. You're never navigating it alone.

Before You Visit the Sales Center

What to Know About Buying
at Vivid Shores

If you've been searching Vivid Shores and Pulte Homes, you're doing exactly what smart buyers do — researching before you walk through that sales center door. Here's what we want you to know first.

The Most Important Thing

Pulte's sales team works for Pulte.
We work for you — at no cost to you.

The builder's on-site representatives are professional and knowledgeable — and they represent the builder. Their job is to sell you a home at the best price and terms for Pulte. Your job, if you don't have your own agent, is to figure all of that out yourself. That's a lot to navigate when you're also falling in love with lake views and floor plans. The Borg Group's commission is paid by the builder. You pay nothing — and you get full professional representation from day one.

Homesite Selection

Not all lots are equal.

We know which homesites face east for morning light, which have the best lake footage, and which back to a preserve buffer that won't change. Pulte's team will show you what's available. We'll tell you which ones to prioritize — and which to avoid.

Upgrade Strategy

Not all upgrades add resale value.

Builders make significant margin on upgrades. We'll walk through design center selections with you and help you put money where it matters for resale — and save it where it doesn't. That guidance alone can be worth tens of thousands.

Incentive Timing

Pulte releases incentives on a schedule.

Builder incentives are tied to sales velocity and quarter-end targets. Knowing when to ask — and what to ask for — is something we track across every active community in Southwest Florida. We know the timing. We know the levers.

Contract Review

New construction contracts favor the builder.

Pulte's purchase agreements are written by their attorneys. They are long, detailed, and drafted to protect the builder's interests. We review every clause with you before you sign — including contingencies, deposit structure, closing timeline, and what happens if the builder delays.

One Rule Worth Knowing

Once you register at the Vivid Shores sales office without an agent, you may permanently lose the right to add representation. One call before your visit changes everything.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who builds homes at Vivid Shores? +

Vivid Shores has two builders: Pulte Homes and STOCK Development. Pulte offers 10 floor plans (Aqua and Sapphire Series) starting from $754,990, ranging from 2,366 to 4,382 sq ft. STOCK Development offers 7 luxury plans on 76' and 90' homesites starting from $1,349,990, ranging from 2,743 to 4,000+ sq ft. Designer-decorated model homes from both builders are now open. Call us at 239-350-4474 before visiting either sales center.

How much do homes at Vivid Shores cost? +

Pulte's Aqua Series starts at $754,990 (Brixton, 2,366 sq ft). The Sapphire Series ranges from $875,990 to $1,128,990+ (Sanibel, 4,351 sq ft). STOCK homes on 76' homesites start at $1,349,990 and go up to $1,479,990. STOCK's 90' estate homes run from $1,689,990 to $1,809,990+. These are base prices — lot premiums and upgrades typically add $100,000–$300,000+. Contact us for a full cost-of-ownership breakdown before visiting.

Does using a buyer's agent at Vivid Shores cost me anything? +

No. Buyer's agent representation at Vivid Shores is completely free to you. The builder pays The Borg Group's commission. You receive full professional representation, independent contract review, homesite strategy, and negotiation support at zero additional cost. The only risk is not having an agent at all. Call us at 239-350-4474 before your first visit.

What are the HOA and CDD fees at Vivid Shores? +

HOA and CDD fees at Vivid Shores vary by product type, homesite location, and phase. CDD fees are billed as part of your annual property tax notice rather than as a separate monthly charge — a distinction worth understanding before you calculate your true cost of ownership. New construction community CDDs in Southwest Florida typically run $2,000–$6,000+ per year. We review the full fee structure with every buyer we represent. Contact us for current estimates by product tier.

Can you boat on the lakes at Vivid Shores? +

Yes — gas-powered boats are officially permitted on Vivid Shores' 400+ acres of freshwater lakes. This is one of the most distinctive features of the community and is rare among new construction communities in Bonita Springs. Select homesites can also accommodate a personal boat dock. These dock-eligible homesites are among the most limited and sought-after in the community. Contact us for current availability on dock-access lots.

What makes Vivid Shores different from other Bonita Springs communities? +

Vivid Shores is the last lakefront gated community that will be built in Bonita Springs — a distinction that cannot be replicated once it sells out. The combination of boatable freshwater lakes, a lakefront outdoor restaurant and bar, personal boat dock availability, a 14,000 sq ft clubhouse campus, and two premier builders creates a lifestyle profile no other current community in the area matches.

Is Vivid Shores a good long-term investment? +

As the last lakefront gated community in Bonita Springs, Vivid Shores carries a scarcity value that most new construction communities cannot claim. The surrounding city investments — Midtown at Bonita, Imperial 41, Riverside Park upgrades, and infrastructure improvements — are signals of long-term confidence in the area. Combined with the location between Naples and Estero and a well-established Southwest Florida luxury market, the case for long-term appreciation is strong. Contact us for a market analysis tailored to the specific homesite you're considering.
