Default We Are not affiliated with the "Villages"

We were at the Home and Garden show yesterday and a lot of people seemed to think we were affiliated with the "Villages". Just wanted to clear this up for everyone, we are not part of the "Villages" we are here for the Great People of the villages. Thank you all so much for you support yesterday!!
I wish I would have named my business Villagers Home Professionals

We would have had you quote on a re-model job, but honestly we were put off by the name of your company, so gave you a pass.

I would strongly suggest that you consider changing the company name.

Why would the name put you off from contacting them?

Thanks for the advise. We had no idea when we built this business that people would be put off by the name. We are a family run business that has 25 years experience. We take pride in all our work. We will be considering options for name change

Would you consider your business to be successful at this point?
Most likely answer is yes.

Acknowledge opinions offerred but do not make changes based on what most likely is a minority view of the situation.

The majority is on your side.

The above does not intend to down play a minority opinion but to simply state that it is!

Default Would certainly hire them again.

We had Villages Home Pro do work for us, and would certainly hire them again.

VERY professional, dependable, on-time and tidy.

For now we are going to stand by our name. Our customer service and experience should be what we are rated on, not whether the word Villages is in our name. Thank you to all that took the time to discuss the issue!

Florida Pest Control isn't associated with the state? Ocala Transmission isn't associated with the city government?

when you don't ask a question? And if you read it as though it were a question it sounds foolish.

I know some businesses that have "The Villages" in their names have had to change their names, because "The Villages" does not want any confusion.

"Villages AV" is one example of that. Tom had to change the name after receiving a legal notice from "The Villages".

I am STILL puzzled by the poster who felt negative about your name because he thought you were associated with The Villages.


I think The Villages conduct themselves very well and are ethical business people as you appear to be, OP.
