It's finally here! We've cut the ribbon and are showing our 4 Model homes.
Very exciting for all of us. Lots of local officials and friends came by for box lunches from the Carrabelle Junction and to tour the Models for the very first time anyone's seen them finished. Here's a photo of Pinki and I cutting the ribbon, and basically cracking up with joy...and exhaustion!
Even with a temporary road and gravel driveways, with the landscaping in, the homes being furnished beautifully, us moving our Sales Office across the street from the Trailer to WaterSong, I have to say....they are SWEET! (And THESE toilets flush already, quite unlike the first weeks in the Sales Trailer back in January.)
We've been having "Preview Weekend" this Memorial Day weekend with a steady stream of visitors. Our Sales Manager, Michael, is giving up his boating plans on Monday due to all the interested folks stopping in from all over. It's fun to see their faces and hear their comments when they see what we've created. Makes us feel real good that we've done something worthwhile. With the crazy real estate market it confirms there is a niche for affordably-priced, quality homes near the water. It's a lifestyle we all want and even if we can't afford to live right on the water, we can at least have this dream of a wonderful place and the amenities.
Ages and interests run the gamut. A darling retired couple dropped in today from Tallahassee to purchase a weekend place in the Active Adult section. A local gal is moving out of a rental to raise her 2-year old their own home because it is affordably-priced.
After all the visioning, creating, designing, building, tweaking, we've got it all going. It's wonderfully reinforcing to hear the warm response to our personal efforts to do something special here. This re-energizes us for sure. So while I could use a vacation, just for Monday, I think I'll take the whole day off!
