A Remodeling Partnership

That’s why we launched our new special section, REMODEL Orlando, in the last issue of Orlando Homebuyer.
????With this issue, I’m happy to announce, REMODEL Orlando has been named the official publication of the Remodelers Council of the Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando.
????This partnership means that REMODEL Orlando is now the voice of the region’s top remodeling professionals. In fact, council members are passionate about professionalism and committed to consumer education.
????In short, they’re the best of the best. And in partnering with REMODEL Orlando, they’re demonstrating their commitment to raising the profile of their industry and to making certain that you have accurate, useful information for decision-making.
????You’ll find REMODEL Orlando bound within this issue of Orlando Homebuyer. But in addition, the publication is being separately distributed to carefully selected homeowners who are most likely to embark on remodeling projects.
????Why REMODEL Orlando? Well, Orlando has a large inventory of vintage homes in areas such as old Winter Park, College Park, Thornton Park and other historic neighborhoods clustered around the urban core.?
????And many of those ubiquitous subdivisions built in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are now starting to show their age, creating yet more opportunities for remodelers to ply their trade.
????In addition, more homeowners are opting to live closer in—the price of gas is certainly a factor—and are choosing to upgrade older homes rather than deal with a commute from the suburbs.?
????But remodeling—even small jobs—can be complicated and fraught with pitfalls if you don’t do your homework. That’s where the Remodelers Council and REMODEL Orlando hope to make a difference.
????One of the features in REMODEL Orlando is the trend toward “stay-cation” homes. That is, creating a resort-like atmosphere where you live. Elsewhere in this issue we look at creative kids’ rooms.
????Finally, have you checked out our Web site lately? If not, log onto
www.florida-homebuyer.com. It’s got much of the great content you’ll find in the magazine plus the most comprehensive, easily searchable new community listings anywhere on the ‘net.
????Enjoy reading—and surfing.
