We recently stopped by Advantage Home Builders’ exquisite new model in Las Calinas to hear about their flourishing business and what sets them apart from their competition. After meeting President of Advantage Home Builders, Doug Griesemer, it was obvious why they have been so successful in Northeast Florida. They stay true to their core values and believe it is the reason for their rapid success. From one community and 20 homes closed in their first year of business, to an expansion to 11 communities, 106 homes closed and seven furnished models in 2012, they are growing and prospering!

This month we are focusing on a very special neighborhood in World Golf Village’s King & Bear community, WildWood! Davidson Realty agent Jennifer Todd joins us as we tour the neighborhood and highlight some of its best features like the beautiful forested conservation land surrounding the homesites and its quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sacs.

WildWood is the only neighborhood inside the King & Bear that is nestled within the largest preservation area in the community (28.1 acres). As you enter WildWood, the view before you is a 1,100’ long vista through a park, over a lake to the backdrop of conservation where there are frequent sightings of wild turkey and native deer.

CNN is another in a long line of media outlets to name St. Augustine one of the best places to retire.  In October, CNNMoney listed St. Augustine as one of “25 Best Places to Retire” in a list that also included Winston-Salem, NC, Austin, TX, Tucson, AZ, and Louisville, KY.  St. Augustine was the only Florida city to make the cut.

The article highlighted “St. Augustine’s fantastic weather, beautiful beaches, and world-class golf” as well as its “active year-round community,” housing options and Flagler Hospital.  In recent years, SmartMoney listed St. Augustine as one of nine “Best New Places to Retire,” Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch listed St. Augustine as one of the “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S,” and Bloomberg Businessweek listed St. Augustine as one of “America’s Best Affordable Places to Retire.”

Finding a way to capitalize on these two project “attributes” was going to be the key to meeting the investor’s goals and objectives.
