Q & A About Heritage Palms Country Club

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Here are two questions that Windermere real estate agent Bonnie Peabody says she gets from almost everyone looking to buy a home in Heritage Palms.
“You told me about the 6 month rental restriction, but what if I want to have guests or family visit my home at times when I am not there, will I get into trouble?”
“No,” says Bonnie, “the rule was written by the developer and full-time residents really appreciate it. Your home can host your guests for any time with or without you being present. What they will not be able to do, however, is receive your full benefits, owner rate at golf course, use of the fitness center or pool. The golf course and restaurant are open to the public, though, and will be happy to take your credit card.”

“The second question that I hear most,” she says, is “How do you keep your HOA so low when you own all the amenities, golf, tennis, pools, fitness center, ball room and kitchen?”

“My answer is that the HOA has hired an effective manager and he, along with our elected board of directors, have been doing a great job of tracking and forcasting costs.”

A Furry And Lovable Golf-Ball Collecting Machine

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

An avid golfer, Realtor Jennie Robinson specializes in selling Country Club golf course homes. Her one-and-a-half year-old English Golden Retriever, Riley Rose, specializes in retrieving lost golf balls at The Hideaway, where Jennie and her husband Bob are members.

Jennie is been a top-producing agent and has been a well-known resident of the desert for the past 18-years. You’re probably familiar with her tagline, “Let me swing a deal for you!” Lately, however, Riley Rose, is getting all the press.

This past month, Golf News Magazine wrote an article about this “furry golf-ball collecting machine.” The article begins, “How would you like to find 25 to 30 golf balls a day, virtually all in perfect condition, many of which are Titleist Pro V’s? This unique golf ball collecting “machine” resides in the desert but is not available in any stores, not even in Pete Carlson’s! Golfsmith doesn’t have it either. Feed it and love it is all you have to do.”

According to the article, Riley Rose has a unique ability to smell the balls and track them down even in the deepest grasses. And she loves a challenge. The more the ball is hidden or buried, the more she likes the hunt.

In case you’re wondering, the golf balls are donated to junior golf and according to the magazine “Riley Rose searches for golf balls only during her morning and evening walks and only seeks golf balls that are in the bushes and never retrieves balls on the fairway.”
