Our on-site management team is the best to interact with and takes care of any issues promptly. We have recently gained a new off-site management company (Highmark) and in a short amount of time they have implemented numerous positive changes and we are pleased to call the Groves our home. Thanks for all that is done to benefit all of our residents. Albert and Diana Newell

Once a year I return to Florida to visit the possibilities of a seasonal residence. The encounters…read moreat Advantage Realty #1 continue to be uplifting and positive, from the warm reception team to the realtors and broker Greg Karlson, the most humble and savvy broker of a large agency I have ever met. The atmosphere is busy but friendly. I have never felt I was not welcome just because I didn't purchase/lease anything. They all make me feel like family. No wonder they have such successful agents and agents in training. This is why they are my #1 choice in Florida real estate!!!

She is hard working, pleasant, honest and a true professional. She took us through all the aspects of buying a home, and was always just a phone call away if we had questions. And I had a lot! Buying a home is a stressful - yet an ultimately such a rewarding experience - all the more so because Laura was there to navigate the journey with us. Laura is someone that can be trusted and that means a lot. Thanks Laura for all your help!

I've spoken to other realtors & former clients & a lawyer who all recently advised me that Compton Realty is a well known hated company... I see why since I experienced it first hand. It was instant regret once I moved in. I would highly suggest you look elsewhere if you don't want to get screwed over. If you want honest, caring, professional, high quality reality... do NOT contact Compton Realty. This company is an embarrassment & disgrace! Disgusting. If you were smart you'd stay away from that hell hole.

For 30 years "Casa" has been one of the finest and still is one of the finest condo communities in…read moreHighlands County! Yes, I live there. My parents moved here 30 years ago as it was just being built. I moved here permanently 2 1/2 years ago to take care of my elderly mother. I was the relative that was willing to step up which is so common here in Central Florida. Casa is in the far northern part of Avon Park. It is known for its seclusion and the peace and quiet associated with that. It is NOT a 55+ community however most of the residents are over 55. The first thing you notice when you enter is the attention to curb appeal. This is a beautifully maintained property whose landscape contractor has been the same for many, many years. The property is covered with dozens of palms and live oaks. There are just under 100 units in 37 buildings. All units are two bedrooms and two baths. Each has an enclosed patio and a linai/porch that is either screened or glassed in. Most of the units include a 1 1/2 car garage with the 1/2, of course, for your golf cart. A few units have a slightly smaller garage. Rivergreens golf course is just across the street. This is a lakefront property with its own dock for your boating pleasure. The beautiful landscaping is supported by an automated sprinkler system fed by multiple wells on the property. This includes the beds in the enclosed patios. Residents enjoy a large clubhouse, year-round heated pool, shuffleboard and tennis courts. Several social activities are offered each month. The property is managed 100% by volunteer residents and has been since it's inception. This makes the HOA fee a very good value! The very low cost of living in Highlands County contributes to the terrific value of ownership here. I'm wonderfully comfortable here and look forward to many, many years of five star living!

I know you don't want to experience that and neither do I. My patio has a lot of exposed wood beams and the God Damn wasps love to build nests on them so they can lie in wait for me and my loved ones. They especially like it when I BBQ. I decided to take the advice of many of my neighbors and enclose my wood beams with aluminum soffit and fascia. The wasps are not impressed with aluminum and it solved 95% of my wasp problem! I called one of my favorite contractors and he was out within a week for a very reasonable estimate. He promised to get it done the next week and he kept his promise! As you can see from my before-after pictures, the change is huge and the work beautiful. This is the second time I have used him, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again!
