Ovation condos have begun closing - so we now have a definitive answer for the question we're frequently asked - When will Ovation start their closings.

The first buyers to close are Richard and Melissa Middlesworth. Check out the Ovation article in tomorrow's St Pete Times.

Ovation is the latest luxury condominium developed and built by JMC Communities. Mike Cheezem has been building quality condominiums for many years here in the St Petersburg area. It means a lot to buy a condo knowing that the developer will stand behind what he builds, and will be there in the years ahead to take care of any problems that may arise.

It's a real pleasure to work with the JMC Community, and so good to know that whether selling a new unit of theirs or a resale, that they will be there to handle any issues.

In an era of extended finger pointing, it's a welcome change to deal with a company that takes responsibility. That's part of what you're buying when you buy a JMC condo.

The sales staff for Ovation will be moving into the Ovation building on Tuesday. If you have an interest in buying in Ovation and want to see one of the two furnished models, please call The Simms Team at (727) 898-2582.
