It speaks volumes to me if one is moving form Hawaii to TV as the weather in Hawaii is beautiful. TV must be doing something right. :smiley:

Congrats on your new home purchase. It sounds like you knew exactly what you wanted.


Best wishes as you start living the dream.

I think it speaks volumes too that people are moving from West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, very desired areas.

We have met several lately from West Palm and Boca.

We moved from Cincinnati.

This place HAS to be great if we left the center of the universe for here. ;)

The footers for the home directly behind us have been excavated and we met friends of the owners tonight. I have a feeling that this neighborhood is going to be a great one! Anyone coming down for a design meeting, please contact us! Can't wait to meet everyone. Also, continuing pics of our home construction is under a different thread. You're going to be amazed how fast these homes go up!

Rusty & Janice

Rusty and Janice! I would love to meet up with you this Sept when I am in for my design team meeting. Will your place be complete? And will you be there? I will be in from the 5th thru 9th. Hopefully I will be closing sometime in December? Not sure yet.... FYI-I was in Morgantown visiting friends last year!

Batman,
Happy you had a great experience with The Villages Hometown Property Management. I like to hear positive things about small business owners because if we drive them out we will not have many choices. The big box stores and national real estate co. and big banks etc. who have put the little guy out of business who was doing his best to try to make a living. We hear way too many negative statements and people take positive experiences for granted...koodos to you and welcome to The Villages with your positive attitude and great wishes on your new home.

Jeannie Ulmer is the BEST! Bought our home in 2007 she handled everything long distance for us.

I like BIG business and little business. If you do it right you will succeed and your little business will become a big business. I love that I have lived long enough to see that happen...many times.

Just sayin.

We're coming up from a North Palm Beach waterfront condo. Almost full-time now. After 19 years of condo restrictions and nasty neighbors, The Villages is like heaven.

It will be good to have someone from Honolulu nearby. We lived there for 12 years, and I graduated from Chaminade University in Honolulu .

Although we will be in Sanibel, I'm sure we could easily join you for Pupu's and Happy Hour at Bonifay.

Aloha

Looking forward to meeting you. I'm bringing my Aloha shirts in case we find a luau. I definitely need to shop for winter clothes since I have lived in Hawaii since 67. Our sales agent thinks it odd that we take off our shoes before entering the model homes :).

Aloha shirts will fit in. Also, if your wife is into it there are Hula groups in TV.

I could not agree with you more! The # 1 reason small businesses succeed over big businesses, is great customer service! I love to hear great things about businesses that have treated people fairly and honestly and have achieved a measure of success because of it.
Of course, there are big businesses who have good customer service and treat people fairly also. I like to hear about these , too.
Sounds like VHPM has about a 50% rate of good customer service, and 50% rate of poor customer service, and unfortunately that is not good enough to compete with anyone. No one wants to land in the wrong 50%!!

Reminder.... let's stay on topic. Topic here is one member's buying experience. There is a long, separate thread to discuss Hometown Property Management rentals.

Thanks... Moderator

My daughter just graduated from the University of Dayton and did a semester at the U of Chaminade. She loved it! Don't know if she learned much there except she became an

Took these photos from our lot in Gilchrist. Took a 360 degree panorama. Not sure the link will work.

Pictures Look Great
 
Batman (aka future neighbor): Lot looks awesome! We think it is so picturesque there! We are up the street from you (lot 32)--when we look at the golf course, we look at all those palm trees and can see the side of the golf cart "bridge".

Keep the pictures coming!
