Security Patrol of Sun City Center is staffed by volunteers. Their cars patrol our community roads seven days a week . These efforts have helped to make SCC one of the safest communities in the State.
Residents are encouraged to do their part. Take the time to make your home safe. Keep all doors closed and locked, especially the over head garage door.
That open garage door is an invitation for a thief to make off with your golf clubs, expensive tools, perhaps your car or golf cart.
There’s also a good chance that if the main garage door is open, the service door into the house is unlocked. What an opportunity for a criminal to move in and look for cash, jewelry or other items.
In the summer some people like to leave their garage doors open in order to keep the garage cooler. Don’t do it. It’s not worth the risk. Even if you’re just out in the back yard working, keep your garage door closed.
If you’re a member of the Patrol, be proud.
If you’re not a member, come join us. 642-2020.
NEW FLOOD PLAIN MAPS
You may want to invest in Flood Plain Insurance now
Hillsborough County has announced that the newest generation of Flood Plain maps for Sun City Center will become official for flood insurance and development purposes on Wednesday, August 28th.
Full Flood Plan information will be available at the Information Center at 1002 Cherry Hills Drive on Monday (tomorrow) from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon, or from 2 - 4 p.m. Dave Brown and John Bowker will be there to show you how your property looks on the new maps, and then ask you to make way for the next person right behind you. Fair enough?
If you do need (or want) flood plain insurance, you should take action right now to apply for insurance. The reason is that, if your insurance takes effect before August 28, you are permanently grandfathered in at a relatively low rate. Once your application is complete, and you've paid that first premium, there is a 30-day waiting period before flood insurance becomes effective. To get the low rate, therefore, you must have established your account with the flood insurance company by July 28 at the latest.
You can obtain your flood insurance coverage by phoning your home-owner insurance company.
Even if you don't have a mortgage, and your house is not shown as being in the flood plain, but live on one of the many middle-sized lakes in town you may want to consider the additional insurance coverage.
Sun City Center... Florida's Premiere Retirement Community. Featuring single family, villas, fourplex & condominum homes. I work with buyers and sellers. Contact me for all of your Real Estate needs.
I retired after spending twenty five plus years in Human Resourses. Employed by a Publicly held then privately owned Company. Following my retirement I moved to Sun City Center, Florida where I currently reside.
Shortly after getting settled I started a Home Maintenance business which I worked and enjoyed for fourteen years. For the most part I concentrated on servicing the immediate Sun City Center Area. All of my business was either repeat or referral. There was never a need to advertise our services or availability.
Real Estate is a natural extention of services. Having worked for so many owners, tenants and professionals I was given extensive exposure to the community. I am committed to working with the public in an effort to assist them in the achievement of their goals, in the very broad sence, and as it relates to their Real Estate needs.
MY OBJECTIVE
For you, the seller, I will do everything with-in my means to sell your home as quickly and painlessly as possible, at a fair and competative market price.
I will work tirelessly to obtain, for you, the buyer, the best price on a home that is perfectly suited to your needs and lifestyle, not just for today, but for years to come.

Dear Hal,
Words will never completely express my appreciation for the hours you spent helping me sell my home and finding the new one. I am so happy here, especially now that everything is settled and in place. The contractors you recommended did an outstanding job painting and updating my new home.
Who would have thought I would be able to accomplish so much in a very short time. I will always remember you fondly.
Mrs. Oakley

Just a note of appreciation for the effort you put forth in listing, showing and selling my home there in Sun City Center. Selling was a decision that was difficult to make however you help and compassion help me finalize the task and enabled me to move on. Thank you ever so much.

Harold,
I have been meaning to write you for some time to thank you for your help in marketing my home. You were a marvelous resource. Had it not been for your willingness to share your market knowledge at that time I would have sold the property for much less then I did and not known the difference. I will always be in debited to you.
Thank you again for everything,
B. G. Anderson
Hal,
We just wanted to thank you for your endurance as it pertains to the closing of our investment property there in Sun City Center. Both Kathy and I are sure, had it not been for your efforts, the closing would never have taken place.
We will be having a celebration dinner with you when we come down in the fall.
Dean & Kathy Mason
Dear Broker,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your agent, Hal Place, and his team members for their untiring effort with regard to marketing our home. We have taken the property off the market for the time being, as we are heading north for the simmer. However, we intend to relist in the fall when we return for our winter stay.
Your agents are a credit to the community.
Mr. & Mrs. Hertal
