By: Neal Communities During a time that home prices nationwide have declined, Neal Communities’ “The current sales success is a tribute to the unshakable commitment of our staff to ushering in a long-term, sustainable estate market. We are creating a recovery that benefits not only those directly in the real estate industry, but also those who live and work here,” says Neal Communities President Pat Neal. “We didn’t have time to wait for the recovery, so we created one. This is something that goes beyond simple optimistic thinking. This is an organized strategy of recovery.” New Positions and New Staff As part of the economic recovery, Neal Communities has recently added four new positions. Joy DuPree has joined the team as Area Sales Manager. “Our sales are so strong, that we needed someone of Joy’s skill and experience to help our sales staff do what they do best—sell homes,” explains Neal Communities’ DuPree has extensive experience in home sales and real estate development. She has worked with major national builders in local communities including Sarasota, Venice, Bradenton, Naples, and Ft. Myers. She was recognized as “Rookie of the Year” and “Florida’s Top Producer” in two of her previous real estate sales positions. Mike Kramer has been promoted to a new position as Custom Design Manager with Neal Signature Homes, a division of Neal Communities. This is a new position for NSH to better compete in the custom home marketplace. Kramer will play an integral part working directly with the customers developing and drawing custom design features, and coordinating all pre-construction activities. Jean Fox has joined the team as a Design Consultant with Neal Communities. Her career has included real estate sales, interior design and merchandising.

New Communities and New Opportunities While demand has remained strong in the communities of Forest Creek, River Sound, and The Country Club at Lakewood Ranch, in the last year, Neal Communities has brought new neighborhoods and communities on line. Central Park at Lakewood Ranch opened in July 2010, and has already sold more than 115 homes. “This is much more than a simple blip on a chart or a little luck,” says Pat Neal. “We have created the kind of community where people want to live and are willing to invest. They need good homes for their families, and they’re not going to wait for someone else to declare the market has turned around. They too, are creating their own recoveries.” Neal Communities has begun developing Canoe Creek in Parrish, Woodbrook in Manatee, Arlington Cove in Englewood, and Blackburn Creek in Venice. Each of these new communities will hire subcontractors, contractors, engineers, landscapers, site developers, and planners.
