September is in the midst of hurricane season and while we need the rain, we don’t want to see destruction from a hurricane. Be prepared with water, pantry items, batteries, gas for cars & grills, and cash on hand (just in case). Prepping to sell a house requires the same type of thoughtful planning for cleaning, repairs, staging, updates and pricing.

The transition to Heritage Golf Group continues with planned improvements to golf, tennis, fitness, the pool, dining, and events for all ages. The HOA continues to make improvements, too, in Rules & Regulations, golf cart requirements, and the common area landscaping. Good planning, whether for a hurricane or everyday life, always provides the best outcome.
