    Very Happy in Grand Palm

    Dear Mr. Neal,

    We just wanted to thank the Neal Warranty Department and Steve Tanaka, in particular, for addressing a plumbing leak that occurred within our walls. The damage and repair issues were addressed in a professional and timely manner. We truly appreciate Neal Communities for shouldering the responsibility for this unfortunate event. We also appreciate the speed and concern with which the repair was done. The walls and baseboards look better than new!

    We understand that there are always going to be issues that may or may not be solved by the home’s warranty. We know that you and those who work for Neal Communities will always give residents an honest and fair response to their questions. We are very happy to be here in Grand Palm with that kind of support from people like yourself and Steve Tanaka.

    Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated!

  • A Gem in Warranty

    A Gem in Warranty

    As a single woman and solely responsible for the my Ridge home and its repairs, I recently experienced both toilets malfunctioning at the same time. I started looking for plumbers to fix the problem, but something told me to reach out to Nelson Belanger remembering he has been son helpful during the warranty period. Right before I made a decision to hire a plumber, I left a message for Nelson, hoping there was a chance he could help me. He returned my call promptly and told me that I was still under warranty period for mechanical issues/plumbing. Needless to say, that was music to my ears.

    It goes without saying that you would normally think that’s how it is supposed to work with people in the service industry. Warranty people should follow-through as one expects. That’s not always the case. However, you have a “gem” in Nelson Belanger. He is one awesome warranty representative. I’m sure it’s not surprising to anyone who has worked with Nelson; that he continues to provide exceptional service to the best of his ability. I belive wholeheartedly that although I don’t know Nelson personally, I am confident in saying, he must care about every facet of his life in the same way; he is a lovely human being.

    It is paramount that Neal Communities fulfill its promise to their homebuyers by providing the best quality of life in all general matters relating to the home. In this current social and economic climate, it is important that as a homeowner that I can rely upon that, starting with corporate and general employees.

    Thank you for hiring Mr. Belanger. It certainly speaks volumes about your ability and standards of excellence to employ the best personnel to fulfill the company’s goals. I want you to know that you are valued and appreciated, as much as I value Nelson Belanger.

    Respectfully,

    Curious About Boca Royale? Summer is Your Time to Sample the Amenities

    All eyes were on Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in the latest issue of Venice Lifestyle. The magazine profiled what is now one of the area’s fastest-growing golf and country club communities. Our community more than doubled in size over the past five years and will eventually double again, to 1,200 homes in a private club enclave.

    People love living at this club because it offers a rare lifestyle that feels more like a vacation than everyday life. Residents of the gated, 1,000-acre community enjoy a full line of fun and fitness amenities, including an 18-hole, par 72 golf course, beautiful amenity center, and a members-only clubhouse.

  • Amazed at Boca Royale

    Amazed at Boca Royale

    I just wanted to say how happy I have been with our new home. It’s a quality home with great looks. The best part of the whole process has been working with the people of Boca Royale. Our salesperson, Dawna Bruner, has been fantastic. Mark Sochar also was a huge help in our home buying process.

    We used your Neal Finance team and was surprised how easy and stress-free it was. All great to work with.

    Finally, we have been dealing with Nick Fonczak on any issues with our new home. I really can not say enough good things about how he answers text messages quickly and deals with a problem ASAP. All we have had issues with is very small, minor problems and Nick handles them all as if they are extremely important.

    I don’t know how the other Neal Communities are with customer service but Boca Royale is amazing. We are looking forward to many years here and I just wanted to let you know how good we have been treated.

    Thank you,

    Steven Engledow

  • Indigo Model Home Grand Opening Event

    Indigo Model Home Grand Opening Event

    Earlier this month, we held a grand opening to showcase our brand new model homes at Indigo in Lakewood Ranch. The homes that were showcased included Tidewinds, Sandcastle, Victory, Endless Summer 3, and Silver Sky 2. Event goers were given the leisure to tour the homes, interact with digital floor plans or speak with Neal Communities representatives who were more than happy to answer any questions.

    Aside from the homes, the grand opening featured music, food trucks and a popsicle stand to combat the high temps. We’re appreciative of every individual, couple and family who stopped by to spend some time with us. It was such a successful event and we truly could not have imagined it going any better than it did. If you want to be informed about all of our events, be sure to like our page on Facebook.

    Following the grand opening, Gabby and Barbara purchased a home of their very own at Indigo. They have been visiting the community since late January and have been patiently been waiting for their home to sell. Now that they have a contract on their home, they are prepped and ready to move in. We are pleased to welcome the two of them to the beginning of this new chapter in their lives.

    Now that these homes are officially open, we welcome anyone interested in Indigo to schedule a visit. If you’re not local to Florida then no worries–take a look at this video to learn all about the community of Indigo. We hope you stop by soon!

    Neal Communities adopts ducks through $5,000 sponsorship for Lucky Duck Race for Pace

    BRADENTON, Fla. — For the fourth consecutive year, Neal Communities, southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, is partnering with Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County as a Diamond Duck sponsor of the nonprofit’s Lucky Ducky Race for Pace.

    Neal Communities did more than just donate $5,000 for the cause. Every year, the builder’s team members also host a team to adopt rubber ducks, raising even more funds to help the Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County change the lives of teenage girls in Manatee County.

    On May 11 at Caddy’s at the Pointe in Bradenton, more than 25,000 adopted rubber ducks will float down the Manatee River, winning its owner prizes. The 10th year running, the Lucky Ducky Race for Pace raised more than $150,000 last year.

    “We are grateful that Neal Communities believes in our mission,” said Amy Wick Mavis, executive director of Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County. “They not only support Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County financially but their staff also contributes their time by helping with special events for our girls and their families. As a Diamond sponsor of the Lucky Ducky Race for Pace, their support provides much-needed funds for our program and necessities, such as uniforms and transportation to school. Partners like Neal Communities, who invest their resources as well as their time, show our Pace girls how dedicated our community is to their success.”

    Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County is a year-round school that provides girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training and advocacy. The comprehensive program integrates social services and education in an individualized manner, and it is recognized nationally as the most effective program in the country for keeping adolescent girls out of the juvenile justice system. Pace Center for Girls of Manatee County uses a strengths-based approach that harnesses the unique potential of each girl with a focus on future outcomes. Last year, the nonprofit helped more than 2,000 girls in 21 communities in Florida.
