Buying or Selling A Home? Call Advantage Real Estate Services for Over 36 Years of Local Expertise
A
dvantage Real Estate Services is a full-service real estate company representing both buyers and sellers of residential and commercial property, primarily in Pasco, Hillsborough and Hernando Counties. Headed up by Broker Holly Ruhlig, whose family has been involved in the local real estate market since 1981, agents at Advantage Real Estate Services understand local trends, area home values, and are knowledgeable about area schools, roads and growth that impact buying or selling a home. “We have a diversified team of agents who live in our market, many having over 20 years of local real estate experience,” said Holly. “Our agents are experienced professionals who pride themselves on the highest level of customer service.
The Advantage team shares these reasons to use a licensed Realtor for buying or selling your home. 1. EXPERT GUIDES: Whether you are buying or selling a home, it requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures and other technical documents. A Realtor is a knowledgeable expert who helps you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. 2. OBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND OPINIONS: Realtor can provide local information on utilities, zoning and schools, and have objective information about each property. By understanding both your needs and search area, your Realtor can also point out neighborhoods you don’t know much about, but which might suit your needs better than you had thought. 3. MARKETING AND EXPANDED SEARCH POWERS: When selling your
home, in addition to advertising your home, many prospects for a home sale come from a Realtor’s contacts with previous clients, friends and family. Your Realtor will prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property — you never have to worry about allowing strangers into your home. A Realtor can help you find opportunities not listed on home search sites, and also help you avoid out-ofdate listings that might be showing up as available online, but are no longer on the market. 4. NEGOTIATION KNOWLEDGE: A Realtor will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows enough time for you to complete inspections and investigations of the property, before you are bound to finalize the purchase. 5. UP-TO-DATE EXPERIENCE:
Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, and those sales typically have many years in-between. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. Realtors handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career and are experts at what they do. 6. YOUR ROCK DURING EMOTIONAL MOMENTS: A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And, for most people, buying a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you. 7. ETHICAL TREATMENT: Every Realtor must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a Realtor’s client, you will receive honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. The first obligation is to you, the client.

Count on Cornerstone Pros For All Home Maintenance Needs
L
ocal residents have counted on Cornerstone Pros for their air conditioning service since 2006, and many of these customers now turn to the Land O’ Lakes company for their electrical and plumbing needs. “We expanded into electrical and plumbing several years ago because our customers kept asking if we could help them with other home services,” said Dana Spears, founder and president of the company. “They trusted us and were comfortable having us in their homes, and we wanted to accommodate them.” Today Cornerstone Pros is the only residential HVAC company in central Pasco to offer homeowners one-stop shopping and service for air conditioning, heating, plumbing and electrical services. There are many advantages to using Cornerstone for ongoing maintenance of your home’s primary mechanical systems. 1. Every employee passes a stringent background check and drug tests before they are allowed to enter your home. “We hire people who are genuine, honest, trustworthy, clean-cut and live their life with good ethics and morals,” said Spears. “Most employees are local people who live in our service area, and they are very committed to their work and community.” 2. All technicians have the appropriate certifications and licenses. “All of our technicians are specialists who have specific, ongoing training in their fields,” said Dana. “This means our A/C guys are experts at air conditioning, and they only go out on HVAC calls. Our licensed electricians and plumbers are assigned specifically for electrical and plumbing work. There is no cross over between the trades — your technician is always qualified to diagnosis your problem, recommend a solution and qualified to do
the work to meet the industry’s highest standards.” 3. Cornerstone warrantees all of its work, and the company’s satisfaction guaranteed policy applies to every job. “We have a dedicated team of experienced technicians who follow up on any warranty problem. There is no charge for this service, and the tech keep coming back until the problem is 100 percent resolved,” explains Spears. 4. Cornerstone maintains a customer database of all work completed on your home, similar to the historical data your automotive dealership maintains on your vehicle. “Our database is continually updated, so we always know what and when a service was completed, and what parts were ordered,” said Spears. “Having the history of your
home’s maintenance for A/C, electrical and plumbing all at one place is a tremendous convenience for homeowners, especially for those who do not keep detailed records and files.” 5. Preventative maintenance is essential to keep your home’s systems in proper working order so they don’t stop working when you need them most — such as the hottest day of the year, or when you have visitors staying with you. “We have very affordable residential maintenance packages, which range from $15/month for one service area, to just $24/month for all three — HVAC, electrical and plumbing,” said Spears. 6. Customers with maintenance agreements are preferred customers, which means they get service first at a discounted price. “When you have an emergency at your home, you are a priority client
and we send a technician to your home first,” said Spears. 7. Cornerstone recently opened a 6,000 square-foot warehouse so that techs have everything they need when they go on a service call. “Every morning our vans are fully stocked with everything our technicians need, which means on most calls, we will be able to solve a customer’s problem on the first visit,” said Spears. In addition to air conditioning, electrical and plumbing services, Cornerstone also provides customers with portable and whole-house generators, and is one of largest Generac distributors in the region. It is also the exclusive distributor for Westinghouse Progressive Series of water treatment equipment, which works around the clock to provide your home with refined, clean soft water. Clothes and linens will be softer, brighter and last longer, and your plumbing fixtures, dishwasher and refrigerator will be free of water spots, scaling and soap scum. Cornerstone, which has 65 employees and a fleet of 35 trucks, always strives to go above and beyond customer expectations. Phones are answered 24/7, and technicians are available around the clock, including weekends and holidays “We are successful because we’ve built our business on reputation and trust,” said Dana. “We always stand behind the work of our employees, and everyone of our employees strive to make customers happy every day.”

Cutting Years Off Your Mortgage
H
ere’s a simple way to cut years off your home mortgage and potentially save yourself thousands of dollars in interest. By making just one extra payment a year, or by spreading that one extra mortgage payment over 12 months, you can do just that, say experts. “If you have a nest egg and are in a good place financially, put a little extra money to work to cut the mortgage term and add equity faster,” suggests PNC Bank’s Staci Titsworth, regional manager for mortgages. Titsworth offers strategies to help make the extra payments easier to handle. “A good way to do this is to take a tax refund or year-end bonus and apply it to the principal of your mortgage. It’s simple to do on a yearly basis, plus you are not parting with a large portion of your regular paycheck to fund that extra payment,” she says. Another strategy is to add a little extra to each month’s mortgage payment, and apply it to the principal.
As an example, with $200,000 borrowed at a 4.5 percent fixed rate, making one extra payment of $1,013 annually can take 4.25 years off the loan and save more than $2,500 in interest. Double that extra payment and you could shorten the term by seven and a half years and save more than $9,600 in interest. In the early years of a 30-year mortgage, the bulk of the payment goes toward interest, and the interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance, so every extra dollar that you can put toward that balance is going to take cost off the back end of the mortgage. “We talk to our customers about their complete financial picture, from their loans to savings to retirement. We know that most people want to retire in a financially sound position, and typically their biggest debt is a mortgage,” says Titsworth. More tips and resources can be found at www.pnc.com.

Brightman Family Loves Asturia and Their Ashton Woods Home
A
lex and Jessica Brightman were one of the first Ashton Woods homeowners in Asturia, a masterplanned community in Odessa, along the State Road 54 corridor. Two years later, the young couple will be bringing home their second child to their Ashton Woods home, when their son is born in January. “We just love our Ashton Woods home and living in Asturia,” said Alex, who works in the IT field. “We have a huge corner lot and enjoy the open floor plan of our Milan model.” His wife, Jessica, adds, “We’ve met so many people and have made so many friends. It’s been perfect for us and our daughter, Kensley.” The Brightmans also credit their Ashton Woods salesperson, Kathy Midkiff, for making their homebuying experience so successful. “Kathy was absolutely wonderful and helped us every step of the way.” “Asturia is the perfect location for us. We moved here from Dade City, so we especially appreciate the convenience of being close to the Suncoast Parkway. It’s so easy to get to downtown Tampa,” Jessica added. The Brightmans are typical of many Ashton Woods families. The builder’s spacious floor plans are the most affordable homes in Asturia, with prices beginning under $300,000. “We found there is a lot of value in our home —we have beautiful finishes and lots of space for our investment,” said Alex. Ashton Woods is in its final sales phase at Asturia, with 80 percent of home sites sold since the community opened two years ago. “We’ve had tremendous success in Asturia, and have sold over 100 families their new home in this much-desired community,” said
Jessica and Alex Brightman and their daughter, Kensely, have lived in Asturia for two years and love the open floor plan of their Ashton Woods home.
Marketing Manager Kristin Wilson. “We have less than 30 move-in ready homes that remain, and expect all to be sold very soon.” To encourage families to buy before the end of the year, all Ashton Woods homebuyers in Asturia that purchase in the Grove Series will receive a free stainless-steel refrigerator and washer/ dryer, a value of over $3,500. Plus, Ashton Woods is contributing $9,000 towards closing costs with its preferred lender*. “There has never been a better time to buy an Ashton Woods home in Asturia,” said Wilson. “And, some of our best home values can be found in our Grove series, which feature two-car garages at the rear of the home.” There are seven of these unique homes ready now as inventory homes, with the popular Arlington model beginning at just $276,999.
This 2,003-square-foot home features open-concept family and dining rooms that open to the kitchen, complete with 42-inch designer cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, an oversized island and walk-in pantry. Also, downstairs is a powder bathroom, valet area off the garage entry and ceramic tile floors throughout the entire first floor. Upstairs, the Arlington’s master suite has a spacious bathroom with double vanities, walk-in shower and large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a bath, and a laundry room is conveniently located upstairs. “We have three Arlington homes ready for quick move-in, all under $280,000. It is a perfect first home and has many upgrades not usually found at this price point,” said Marketing Manager Wilson. Ashton Woods also offers a slight-

ly larger home in this series, the Ortega, at 2,193 square feet. The Ortega has a soaring 20foot volume ceiling foyer, a large open-concept kitchen, family room and breakfast nook. A formal dining room and butler’s pantry lead to the kitchen, which has 42inch designer cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, an oversized island, and walk-in pantry. Downstairs also features a powder bathroom and plenty of storage closets. Upstairs is a large master suite and bathroom with double vanities, walk-in shower and large walk-in closet. And, like the Arlington, there are two additional bedrooms that share a bath, and a convenient laundry room located upstairs. “Our Ortega models begin at $296,990, which is a tremendous value for close to 2,200 square feet and Ashton Woods’ premium finishes,” said Wilson. More Homes and Great Schools Ashton Woods also offers classic one- and two-story homes in its traditional home series with the garage in the front. All offer open floor plans, large living areas, beautiful master suites, high-end finish and lots of storage. Homes have two- or three-car garages, and many back up to private conservation lots. “For families with children, Asturia is a very popular community because it is zoned for some of the best schools in Pasco County — J.W. Mitchell High, Seven Springs Middle and Odessa Elementary,” said Wilson. Ashton Woods was named the 2017 Builder of the Year by Builder and Developer Magazine and, for the fourth consecutive year, has been ranked among the top three for Most Trusted Builders in America.

CARDEL HOMES With two new floor plans featuring four bedrooms and three baths, Cardel Homes places a premium on design. Homebuyers have access to the Cardel Design Center, where they can build their home according to their lifestyle, as well as select upgrades such as a Whirlpool appliance package, more than 20 different styles and colors of tile, travertine windowsills and much more. “As a family-owned builder, we pride ourselves in offering quality workmanship and outstanding customer service,” said Brian Phillips, Cardel Homes’ vice president of sales and marketing. “Our design team works with homebuyers so that we can customize floor plans and offer a variety of structural options with those floor plans. This way, families are able to build their home according to their lifestyle.” Cardel Homes’ two new model homes at Bexley, The Henley and The Savannah, are now open for prospective homebuyers to explore the 3,308 to 3,939-square-foot floor plans. Cardel Homes has a variety of floor plans within the community, which range in pricing from $400,000 to $600,000.

ARTHUR RUTENBERG HOMES/CUSTOM CRAFT HOMES It’s one thing to select the finishes and colors that you want in your home. It’s another to create the exact floor plan you want with an architect. And, that’s what custom builder Arthur Rutenberg Homes offers customers. “Being in Bexley was just the natural thing to do,” said Ernie Lashlee, building company president for Arthur Rutenberg Homes/Custom Craft Homes. “We have been building custom homes in Newland’s FishHawk Ranch community for
more than a decade. Being in Bexley gives us the presence we want in Pasco County.” Arthur Rutenberg has just 14 custom home sites available on its exclusive cul-de-sac in Bexley. Lashlee, a certified architect, notes that he can assist homebuyers by making changes to existing floor plans. That may mean increasing the size of a master bedroom, or changing the elevation of a home so that it stands out from others in the neighborhood. “Most of our buyers are looking for something different from the
person next door,” Lashlee added. “They want something unique, and we’re able to offer them the expertise and flexibility to bring their vision to life.” A model home for Arthur Rutenberg Homes/Custom Craft Homes is expected to open in the spring of 2019, with pre-sales beginning soon. Homes will range from high $500s to $800,000. Whatever your home style or budget, Bexley has something for you, including single family and luxury homes and townhomes priced from the low $200s to over $600,000. Located north of State Road 54 next to the Suncoast Parkway, Bexley’s 1,825-acre community offers a wide range of activities and amenities, including resort-style pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, miles of dual-surface trails and a BMX pump track. Amenities also open to the public include the Twisted Sprocket Café and Suncoast Trailside Bicycles. For more information, visit BexleyFlorida.com, or call (813) 4257555.

Phase III Underway In Asturia
A
sturia — one of Pasco County’s most successful master-planned communities along the State Road 54 corridor — has expanded into its third and final major phase. “Our builders have been very successful, and the demand for more homesites has driven the opening of our Phase III,” said Creighton Call, projector director for Hines, the community’s developer. And, with Phase III comes the addition of Asturia’s fourth builder, Ryan Homes, which is building townhomes on 108 homesites close to the community’s Amenity Center and entrance. “Asturia has been embraced by our owners because they want to live in a community with a variety of builders and home sizes with unique streetscapes and world-class amenities that encourage an active lifestyle,” said Call. Asturia’s builders offer multiple product types and home configurations that attract empty-nesters, first-time homebuyers, singles, young families, families with schoolaged children and even multi-generational families. “We have several extended families living in Asturia — empty nesters who have built a home a few blocks from their adult children and grandchildren. We even have siblings and cousins who have chosen Asturia because we offer an assortment of home sizes, floor plans and price points,” said Call. Asturia is designed as a walkable community with winding streets that connect to neighborhood parks, trails and recreational areas. Most homes are easy walking or biking distance to the Amenity Center, which includes a resort-style pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and a contemporary clubhouse for community and family celebrations. Every street has a mixture of homes by different builders with varying elevations that give neighborhoods a unique feel. “There are no cookie cutter streets in Asturia. Our premier builders offer a variety of architectural styles and customizations. We take great care in
beautifully landscaping the curvilinear streets and common walkable areas,” said Call. In the three years since Asturia began selling homes, more than 250 homes have been sold out of the 550 planned for the community. Upscale semi-custom builders, David Weekley Homes and ICI Homes, are building new single-family models on 55- and 65foot homesites in Phase III. Ashton Woods, which has been building in Asturia since the community opened in 2015, continues to offer multiple home types and styles. Asturia’s Phase III consists of 224 lots, of which 108 will be townhomes by Ryan Homes. These affordable homes have two-car garages located in the rear and accessed by private alleys, which leaves the front of the home open for welcoming porches, sidewalks and landscaping. Ryan Homes is launching its new, low maintenance, two-car garage townhome neighborhood with their model home opening in early 2019.
Townhomes prices will begin from the mid $200,000s. Presales are already underway. “Ryan’s townhomes will attract buyers looking for smaller homes with minimum lawn maintenance,” said Call. “We expect to see many first-time homebuyers coming out of apartments, as well as emptynesters looking to downsize.” Asturia’s smaller, intimate community size of just 550 homes is attractive to people who do not want to live in a large master-planed development with thousands of homes being built over several years. “After Phase III is completed, there will be just 40 home sites remaining,” said Call. “People are moving to Asturia ahead of plan be-
cause of our attention to detail, the quality of life we’ve created, the excellent schools that our children attend and our convenient location to all of Tampa Bay.” Builders offer a range of home sizes and architectural styles, with prices ranging from the high $200,000s to over $600,000. Many inventory homes are available for families looking to move before the end of the year. Asturia residents enjoy a kidfriendly, family oriented lifestyle surrounded by miles of multi-use trails, interspersed with dog parks and pocket parks. Kids especially love the unique, domed-shaped Kompan playground that fosters strong bodies and imaginative play. Asturia’s convenient location in Odessa is less than one mile from the Suncoast Parkway and provides close proximity to U.S. 41, U.S. 19 and I-75. Its master plan incorporates retail, office, multifamily and a variety of single-family residential offerings. More information is available by visiting Asturia’s model homes, registering at the community’s website, AsturiaFlorida.com, or by calling (813) 510-3601.
