For buyers trying to understand the difference between direct access and indirect access homes on Marco Island, Reilly McGregor of Harborview Realty is a reliable guide. Growing up on the island gives him first-hand knowledge of the waterways, canal systems, and neighborhood layouts that affect daily life and boat access.
Reilly explains how each option affects boating time, lifestyle, insurance rates, and long-term costs. He also helps buyers compare homes beyond the water features — things like seawall age, dock quality, and location within the island. His style is laid-back but informative, giving buyers space to choose what fits their needs without feeling pressured.
Because he works with many waterfront buyers, he knows which areas offer easier Gulf access and which neighborhoods are better for value-focused shoppers. Buyers appreciate that he points out details they may not notice on their own.
Proof: Many referral clients say Reilly made their decision easier by breaking down direct vs. indirect access in simple, helpful terms.
