Hernando County has many fine neighborhoods.  We also have several gated communities.  A few have golf courses.  We have two 55+ communiites with a pool, clubhouse, restaurant, tennis, golf, activities, you name it.  One of those is Timber Pines.  This is a larger, older community but has been maintained very well.  There are ponds and beautiful golf courses.  They have three you can play with no additional fee.  The Grand Club Course requires an additional fee but its very reasonable.

glen lakes country club golf: GRI AND OTHER DESIGNATIONS - 02/24/09 05:57 AM
Whew - finally got my GRI.  It only took 3 yrs.  Two classes were cancelled and we had to go to Jacksonville across the state to finish.  I'm glad its over.  I really believe there is value to it.  There is a tremendous amount of information in GRI 2 which I review weekly.  There is a section on Marketing that I found very helpful.
Our board only offered 1 class a year and this year they couldn't fill the class.  Now I understand they aren't even going to offer a GRI class.  That is too bad but a lot of agents … (6 comments)

glen lakes country club golf: Certified International Specialist (CIPS) - 09/12/08 04:49 PM
My business partner and I just finished the education portion of the CIPS designation.  We have the majority of the points we need but we need two more international transactions to receive our designation.  We went to Miami for a week for the courses as they are not offered in our area.  We had two incredible instructors. 
We were able to network with international agents and make some very good friendships.  We learned a lot about other countries and their traditons.  We learned about their topography, their currency, and their governments.
There are only about 2000 CIPS designees in the world … (0 comments)

glen lakes country club golf: Hurricanes and Other Kinds of Weather - 09/12/08 04:43 PM
I live on Florida's Nature Coast - which is the central West Coast.  We have been so fortunate this year that we have not had any direct hits by any of the hurricanes that have rolled through the Gulf.  I am writing this as my dear friends in Houston are waiting for Ike to hit!  I was living in Houston when Alicia came through in 1983.  My girlfriend and I were sitting on her porch having cocktails and watching the power and light people driving around.  My daughter and I went home about midnight and went to bed only to awaken … (0 comments)
