LA CASA REAL ESTATE, INC.

Did you notice the headline of this column ends in INC.? INC. means that LCRE is a separate corporation owned by the Homeowners Association of La Casa. LCRE’s only stockholder is the HOA, which owns all the stock in our corporation. The HOA elects the members of our 5 member board at the annual meeting in March. Then, the board of directors elect their own officers each year.
Among other things, the LCRE board is responsible for contracting with a licensed real estate broker (Gary) to oversee the sales of homes in La Casa. The board is also responsible for contracting with a licensed sales associate (Vicki) to write the legal contracts for buyers and sellers. LCRE volunteers show the park to prospective buyers, but cannot do any negotiating of possible purchases with buyers. Obviously with only one full time person on staff and assistance from Pat in the HOA office, LCRE needs numerous volunteers to help in marketing La Casa to buyers.
With the help of our volunteers and the great people in La Casa who love it here, we have been able to sell a remarkable number of homes in 2012 and also so far in 2013, in spite of the state of the real estate economy in this area. It costs less to list a La Casa home with LCRE than an outside real estate company who doesn’t have the extensive knowledge of the inner workings of our park like our residents do. This is a big advantage if you are selling your home.
Check out our improved website (www.lacasaswfl.com) and see what people looking online are able to see when they look at homes for sale in La Casa.
Interested residents can stop by the LCRE office and see our broker, Gary Beeler, if you would like to become a LCRE volunteer.
