Time Changes this Sunday! Don't Forget or You Will Be Early!

Fri, Oct 31st 2025 6:43 pm by David Shippey Winter Haven News

Get ready to return to the days of earlier showing times so you can still see homes in the daylight! (Some people might call that the end of daylight savings… but we know the real truth!)

Time changes on Sunday, and this one is a bit divisive. Some people love the extra hour of sleep that “fall back” brings; some hate the feeling of shorter daylight hours; and some just wish we would pick a time and stick with it! Which category do you fall into?

Holidays are on the way!

Mon, Oct 13th 2025 11:19 am by David Shippey Winter Haven News

​Holidays are on the way!

We are finally getting some relief with cooler weather as we go into October. The Holiday months are coming with Thanksgiving in November and then Christmas in December. It is true. November is less than 3 weeks away. By the way, we have no snow in the forecast here in Central Florida. Lol.

If you would like to be in your next home in time for the Holidays, we need to get started sooner than later. It could take a couple of weeks to find your best home once we get started and then another 30 days to close. If we start now, you could experience Thanksgiving in your New Home this year! If that is too soon, there is plenty of time to be in your next home by Christ...
