WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS of Yard the Month

APRIL The April Yard of the Month has been awarded to the Lower family in Wimbledon Champions’ Garden Section. The home is located in the cul de sac and consistently has well-manicured landscape. Seasonal color throughout all of the gardens is seen in purple, white and yellow Pansies. As Spring approaches, many of the evergreen plants and shrubs will produce additional color in this garden. The Indian Hawthorn is already starting to bud and, in addition, there are Liriope, Crepe Myrtle, Agapanthus and Roses still to bloom. Centered in the garden on one side is a twenty foot tall Mexican Fan Palm and a blossoming Japanese Magnolia centered in the other garden. In appreciation for all of their efforts, the Lower’s will receive a $50 gift certificate from Plants for All Seasons and have their address highlighted on the Wimbledon Champions marquee on Cypresswood Dr. as Yard of the Month. Please see the color version of this home on the Peelinc.com/newsletters website.

Congratulations to Kevin & Diane Lower at 6251 Agassi Ace Court

Demeria didn’t discount her commission and she didn’t discount her efforts or our profit. If you are looking for a Realtor to help you buy a home or sell your home, we would highly recommend Demeria Roberts. She did an excellent job for us selling our WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS home – 6307 LAVER LOVE. In comparison to the other Realtors we interviewed and the Buyer Agents we met, there is no doubt that Demeria was the best prepared and the most knowledgeable. She was professional and a tough negotiator (We wouldn’t play poker with her!!) yet very personable and likeable. Demeria protected our money as if it was her own. Her creative marketing efforts delivered traffic and ultimately secured two contracts for us. Her personal service ensured our home appraised both times and sold for top dollar when other comparable homes were being sold for much less! At the end of the day, we knew Demeria had our interests first. We are happy to call her our new friend.

If considering buying or selling, call for an appointment today!

You won’t go wrong hiring Demeria!
