"After months of preparation, we are excited to kick-off the sales program for Portofino, our highly anticipated coach home community in Fort Myers," said Bernard Ackerman, National Marketing Director for Crosswinds Communities.

"We are especially thrilled about the face pace of sales, excellent response and positive comments from realtors and homebuyers," continued Akerman.
