Description
A resident of Naples for 32 years, Marianna is extremely well versed in the luxury real estate market with a particularly honed focus on the senior homeowner/seller as well as the international homebuyer community.
Marianna was first introduced to southwest Florida in 1975 when her parents retired to Marco Island. A quick detour from her home in West Virginia on her way to Los Angeles, CA (where she attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) was all it took to fall in love with Naples and Marco Island. After Los Angeles, Marianna married and lived abroad with her late husband, Sam, during his 10-year professional basketball career (Brazil, France, Scotland, Sweden and Australia) and traveled to more than 36 countries quickly realizing Southwest Florida was the best place on earth.
After a 10-year career with American Airlines/American Eagle as Regional Marketing Director for the state of Florida and the Caribbean, Marianna began her real estate career in Senior Living at The Glenview at Pelican Bay. It was there that Foggin realized how much she loved working with older adults and gained valuable insight into all facets of their transition. Combining her knowledge of marketing, senior homeowners and the international buyer, Marianna went on to become a Luxury Real Estate Property Specialist acquiring many credentials along the way including (but not limited to) Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and Global Luxury Property Specialist (CBGL). Her success is a result of the perfect blend of training, credentials, marketing, travel, and passion.
Community involvement is an important part of Marianna’s life. She is a 2014 graduate of Leadership Collier and serves on the advisory board of E’Bella magazine for women. Other noteworthy civic contributions include the Parkinson Association SWFL advisory and governing committee member, Princess Diana Dresses of Inspiration gala committee member, Dine Like Royalty charity dinner co-host, Pink Ribbons Crusade National board member, Leadership Collier Events and Outings committee member, Chair of Naples Beach Clean Up, and Pelican Bay Silver Anniversary Steering Committee member.
Passionate about her community, career and family, she relishes time with her two grown sons, Chase and Bryce. Together they enjoy boating, fishing and shooting skeet, trap and sporting clays.
