About Us
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Cara Silverthorne, the Collective is rooted in collaboration. Behind every client is a carefully cultivated circle of trusted professionals — from local market experts and lending partners to designers, attorneys, contractors, and cross-state advisors. It’s not simply about buying or selling a home. It’s about access, alignment, and bringing together the right people at the right time to support your next chapter.
Because exceptional outcomes are rarely created alone. They’re built through relationships.
“What stood out most was the network behind her. Every recommendation — from lenders to inspectors — was thoughtful and seamless. It felt less like hiring an agent and more like gaining a trusted team.”
— Raquel, 2025 SW Florida Buyer
My career in real estate began at eighteen — behind the scenes, building systems, running offices, and solving problems most people never saw. That path eventually led me into international business and aerospace, where I spent two decades working in high-level strategy and global operations.
From the outside, it looked like success. But at forty-nine, I chose something different.
I returned to real estate with clarity — not just as a career, but as a vehicle for freedom, thoughtful investing, and helping people design lives instead of simply purchasing homes. Today I lead a multi-state team with eXp Luxury Realty, specializing in waterfront and luxury properties across Southwest Florida while also serving clients along Colorado’s Northern Front Range and mountain communities. Splitting my time between Florida and Colorado allows me to bring a strategic, global perspective shaped by my years as an aerospace executive.
Together with my team, I help clients build wealth through investment properties, navigate seamless relocations, and make thoughtful real estate decisions in Cape Coral, Naples, Fort Myers, and Boulder County.
