Property Description
On the morning of Feb 7th, I made my way to my listing to officially clock the time between the home and all the above. Before I go further, if you're not a golf cart enthusiast, you're more of a walker, I clocked the walk too. It's only a 3:52 morning stroll.
As I initially drove into the courtyard villa neighborhood, I saw two female Villagers walking their dogs. I then parked the Jeep at 878, reset the clock on my Android back to zeros, tapped start, and began to walk towards Tierra Del Sol.
I soon passed one of the ladies I saw walking her dog, and we exchanged good mornings. I then started looking around to take in the vibe of the neighborhood. At one moment, I looked behind me and a Villager was walking with his coffee cup. I then passed a female Villager on her bike, and we exchanged good mornings. I crossed San Marino Drive and arrived at everything Tierra Del Sol.
At that moment, I just about turned around, as I had lunched at the bar & grill before, been to the theatre, I could see the pool, courts, and golfers making their way to the starter shack, but I had never been in that rec center. So, there I went.
Debbie was working the welcome desk. We exchanged good mornings, initial Villages' humor, and began to chat. Debbie was unaware I was a Realtor on a reconnaissance mission for information about the neighborhood. Without prompting her, she told me everything about the history of the rec center, the many activities at the rec, the upcoming 10-year celebration of the rec center, and the neighborhood eagles, hawks, and of course, gators too.
Debbie and I said our goodbyes and I made my way to the starter shack to chat with the starter guy. We exchanged good mornings, insider Villages' humor, and then I started back towards 878. On the way, I met another Villager walking her dog. We stopped and started to chat. She is not a fan of Realtors! She said, all Realtors do is put a sign in the yard, that's all they do. We talked more about real estate and then she opened up about her husband passing away in November, after 56 years of marriage, and how much she missed him. She was on the verge of tears. We talked awhile longer, and as we were saying our goodbyes, she asked me for my business card. She has a golf course home and may soon be selling. I then finished my walk back to 878.
I went to 878 that morning to clock the time to Tierra Del Sol, the walk between 878 and Tierra Del Sol gave a whole lot more.
