Villa Update March 14th, The Back Story

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

Some of you might be wondering why a buyer would decide to take on a major remodel project.  The buyer lived in this area for over 20 years in two different homes close to the Tierra del Sol Country Club.  Friends, her church and the comfort of knowing the area when it came time to move back to The Villages.  Her first choice was the Brand-New Luxury Courtyard Villas located in The Villages' new development of Marbella Villas off Morse Blvd where Hacienda Hills Country Club was previously located.

This is where it gets interesting, she tried to get one of the golf course villas, 12 of them which were done by lottery, obviously she didn’t get one.  According to the buyer the golf course villas with a pool were priced mid 700’s with the developer designing the interior colors, counters, bathrooms of the home.  This is where I come in, we found a golf course villa on a golf course with a pool, yes it needed plenty of updating but she is picking everything.  Her and I have visited one of our recent flip homes and our home which is in the middle of an eleven-year remodeling project to get ideas.

We should be wrapped up by the end of the month (I hope) with the project.  The buyer returns to Wisconsin end of April and will sell her home moving full time in the fall.  Meanwhile Mario and the painter and Joe the handyman are moving on to our next project in between projects at the villa.  We have a different pool home which doesn’t need as much updating as the villa.  It closed on Tuesday and excited for the next home we are remodeling!  I’m thinking a HGTV series “Selling Lifestyle in The Villages,” I am sure that won’t happen!

Good morning Dick. One way to get exactly what you want , within certain parameters, is to do a rehab. The plus is everything is new in likely a more preferred location. Smart lady if the numbers work. Enjoy your day.

Thanks for the update, Dick. It says a lot about The Villages Lifestyle that this will be her third home in The Villages.
