Meet & Mingle

J.D. and Stacey Bulla were not new to the building process, nor where they new to Hagood Homes. Their first home was built by Hagood Homes in a neighborhood across town. When it came time to move, Marsh Oaks was in their top consideration with it's proximity to shopping, their work and especially since they had several friends that already called Marsh Oaks home. They choose to work with Hagood Homes for a second time and build their home in the SaltGrass section of Marsh Oaks.



"Our first home was built by Hagood and we knew the quality we were going to receive. Hagood was very accommodating through our building experience. Their staff was available at any time to answer any questions. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed in a timely and professional manner. Our builder contacted us to provide us with the stats and progress of our home."


J.D. and Stacey contemplated between the various plans and ultimately decided on the Salt Meadow plan. The open floorplan is perfect for entertaining, while the room over the garage offers a nice retreat. When asked what they love most about their home, they answer an ecstatic "everything".

"The open floor plan is what we look for in our home. The exterior of our home is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The home consisted of beautiful landscaping, which most builders very rarely provide. The street scape design allows uniformity, yet each home possesses it's own unique characteristics or features".


The screen porch is a nice extension to their home and it isn't rare for the Bulla's to spend a majority of their time there. Their home backs up to a nature conservation area and at dusk, they can sit and watch the deer nibble on nearby brush as the sun sets.

J.D. and Stacey feel blessed to now call Marsh Oaks home. They enjoy sharing the many amenities with newly found friends in the neighborhood. Marsh Oaks offers a sense of community that is difficult to find and the Bulla's are thrilled to have found it!

"I'm going to Disney World!"




"I'm going to Disney World" was the reply when I asked Realtor Connie Hill with Intracoastal Realty how she was going to spend her trip voucher.

During the summer months Hagood Homes offered incentives buyers and their agents. For the buyers Hagood offered to pay 6 months of principal and interest and for their agent, a chance at a $5,000 drawing for a trip voucher. During the contest, there were only three available homes to choose from in SaltGrass At Marsh Oaks, and two of the three sold!
Dave Hilliard and Connie Hill, both with Intracoastal Realty were the selling agents. In the true Intracoastal Realty teamwork fashion, Dave and Connie opted to both win and they split the $5,000 voucher!

Connie and her family traveled to Disney World just before Christmas. They spent 7 fun filled days at the Fort Wilderness resort which was decorated "lavishly" for Christmas. The resort also had a marina, petting zoo, farm and horses to keep her sons busy when they weren't park hopping. Their favorite parks were the Magic Kingdom and MGM as well as Sea World.
Connie has sold many homes in Marsh Oaks, representing buyers and listing homes as well. She is familiar with the neighborhood and recognizes the value for her buyers, resting easy that her clients will be pleased with their decision to purchase!
Stay tuned to hear how Dave Hilliard spent his share of the trip voucher and keep selling in Marsh Oaks! It certainly pays!

Marsh Oaks is STILL a great investment!




I've done a little research to confirm what I already suspected: Marsh Oaks is a great investment. I've looked at 19 of the homes that have re-sold within 2007 and calculated their return on investment. The average return on investment is 30%, the average number of months for the return is 35. (Click here to see the details of the return on investment in Marsh Oaks)


So here comes the logic (pause for effect)...

If the best time to buy is during a buyer's market, the best place to buy is Marsh Oaks! Imagine what some of these returns would have been if the homes had been purchased in a "buyer's market" and not a seller's market!
