When we think of wilderness areas, we often imagine mountains, gorges, white water rapids, deserts, etc. We don't have those in Florida, but we do have wilderness areas that are unique to our part of the country.

This message is for those of you who purchased and occupied a home during 2011 that will be your permanent (homestead) residence. Or for those who have now decided to live in their vacation homes on a permanent basis and are no longer declaring a home in some other state as their homesteaded residence.
Do be aware that homeowners who plan to make their homes their permanent residences, or in other words, their homesteads, should apply for the exemptions just has they have in the past. That means that they had to close on the purchase of their home and occupy it before the end of 2011.
Then they need to file for their exemption(s) by the close of business on March 1, 2012. You need to check with your local property appraiser to see what ALL of the requirements are. Having a Florida drivers license and car registration are just a couple of them. Your appraiser can give you the complete rundown.
Do note that in addition to the Homestead Exemption, there are others for: widowed persons, disabled persons, diabled veterans, blind individuals, and active military personnel. Your local property appraiser can give you more details about what is available and which exemptions you might qualify for.
All of the exemptions you qualify for will apply to those persons who requested and got their homestead exemption by the deadline. But again, I suggest strongly that if you have any doubts at all, you should contact your local county property appraiser as soon as possible! Time is running out quickly! The appraisers are the experts in these matters and their offices can answer all of your particular questions.
The main thing is to be sure you apply in time. If you meet the legal requirements, you have nothing to lose by declaring your homestead with the county. If you do not do so, you could be making a very costly mistake.
If you go to my website you will also find a menu button for our local county Property Appraisers. To get there just click on the following link: www.jelwell.century21bnr.com Then click on the button for Property Appraisers. If you find your county listed, just click on that link. If your county is not there, then click on the bottom link that will show you a list of all of the counties that exist in Florida.
Each of the appraiser's sites will have information concerning Homestead Exemptions and also contact telephone numbers if you wish to speak with someone in the appraiser's office. I am sure they will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. I have always found them to be very helpful.
If you like, you can click on the following link to download a brochure in Adobe PDF format that is currently on our Pasco County site. Your own county may also have similar documents. Click here if you would like to review this document: Download Homestead Exemption Brochure 2011 for Pasco County, Florida
So if you believe that you qualify for a Homestead Exemption or one of the many others, I suggest that you start making some calls right now so you can be sure that everything is done correctly and in time. Do not wait until the last minute. In this way you will get all of the exemptions that you deserve!

Working with buyers and sellers of residential properties and vacant land in Zephyrhills, Dade City, and the general East Pasco County. area of Florida. I have sold everything from $18,000 vacant lots to $1,450,000 properties. I am a 27 year resident of this area and am very familiar with it. In addition, I also speak Spanish for those customers who are more comfortable using that language.
Here are some of the comments that past customers have sent to me. It is always great know that my hard work is appreciated!
My husband & I had originally tried selling our house through another REALTOR, on the recommendation of a professional acquaintance. Absolutely nothing happened with this REALTOR - no showings, no advice on improvements, extreme lack of advertising, you name it, he didn't do it.
So we decided to try a trusted name in realty, Century 21, and were lucky enough to have John Elwell as our REALTOR! It was like night and day. John suggested very inexpensive, yet effective improvements to add appeal to the home, checked on the home often (we lived 2 hours away), advertised through NUMEROUS avenues, such as Internet sites, local magazines, even a video tour of the home on You Tube.
John goes above and beyond anything we ever expected from a REALTOR. He even came to the house and spent his own valuable time trimming branches back from a building on the property to enhance its appearance! He also kept us very informed through the entire process, sending us weekly updates on the interest in the house, as well as being readily available for any questions or concerns we may have had.
We couldn't ask for a better REALTOR! Thanks to all of John's hard work, our house sold, even in this declining market! John is an incredible asset to Century 21 in Zephyrhills, and we highly recommend him as a REALTOR! - Nicole and Scott C.
Thank you so much for your "above and beyond" role in selling Mom and Dad's house. Your persistance, endless kind concern, and limitless patience have been remarkable. Words cannot express my gratitude that during the most difficult time in Dad's life, you so willingly took on so much more than we ever could have asked for or expected. Your kindness and humor buoyed Dad's spirit time and time again. You made a huge positive difference in his life, and in mine as well. Thanks, is just not enough to say. Please know that, however insufficient, it is heartfelt. - Patty R.
We want to thank you again for helping us find a place. We appreciate all of the extras you had to do for us, especially the extra work involved with the (buyers). We will keep you in mind if we hear of anyone selling or buying in your area. - Diane and Dan B.
Thanks John. Sorry this has been such a hassle for you. You've been great and I will always give my business to you and recommend you to others - Celeste B.
Rick and I are real glad we had you handle (the sale and purchase) of both houses. Thank you for everything. - Rick and Penny W.
It was a pleasure working with you on both of (the buyer's) loans. When working with Realtors it is rare that I can make that statement. The understanding and positive attitude you presented through all of the obstacles was refreshing. The remote closings, insurance problems, manufactured homes, storms, etc were all taken in stride. The loans closed and I hope you, the sellers and their agents and (the Buyer) were all satisfied. I hope we can do business in the future. - John Kimmel, Mortgage Broker
Thank you for helping us find our house. We really like this home. - Richard and Nancy K.
You have been a wonderful real estate agent. I am sure you will do great with this career. - Yvette I.
I'm so pleased that everything went so smoothly with the sale of the house. I felt completely at ease from the moment we met. - Lynn M.
We both thank you so very much for all your expert salesmanship, time, directions, and most of all PATIENCE in guiding us along this business transaction. You've been wonderful! - Donna and Tom S.
I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for all your help during these past two months as we maneuvered through the maze of buying this property. You were very helpful. I am particularly impressed with your attention to detail which I hold as a hallmark of excellent work. Your effort to assist me work through some of the more difficult issues was impressive. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again as I continue to purchase properties here in Florida. - Michael and Jessica W.
Thank you again so much from the bottom of our hearts for the best gift Betty (new baby daughter) has ever gotten from anyone - our wonderful home. You were so patient with us, and because of you, we are exactly where we want to be! You are highly recommended by me to anyone who is seeking a REALTOR! - Michael and Lorie M.
Just a quick note to let you know that I am happy with my purchase of a home in Colony Hills. Your salesman, John Elwell, was very helpful, and I appreciate all of his work on keeping me informed all along the way. I will recommend him highly to anyone. - Elaine S.
Just a note to say once again how much we appreciate the high caliber of your service to us. Having been real estate brokers ourselves for many years in Michigan before our retirement, we know a hard-working, ethical, knowledgeable salesperson gives both sellers and buyers confidence that they are well-served. You are all that, and we recommend you highly! - Lee and Luanne B.
It was a pleasure working with you as we searched for and settled on our winter get-away property in Zephyrhills. Your service, attention to detail, knowledge of Zephyrhills 55+ communities, and market savy helped us find the home we wanted.
We have been in our new home since the first of December and are very happy with it and the community. You listened to what we wanted and that is exactly what you found for us. We especially want to thank you for all the time you spent on us, four months of phone calls and emails - five days when we came down to see the properties, and always with a friendly and WANT TO HELP attitude. We also had apprehensions about conducting all closing procedures over the phone and by mail from up north but you were on the job and everything went without a hitch.
Once again we are very grateful for your help and guidance and will be looking forward to sending our friends to Century 21 and John Elwell! - David and Mary C.
Thank you so much for going the extra mile in this sale. I have been pleased with your services and look forward to again working with you when the need within our family arises again. - Evan B.and Family
One of the best decisions I have ever made was asking you to represent Beth and me in our recent home purchase. You have gone WAY beyond our expectations with everything dealing with our Zephyrhills home purchase. We can't possibly thank you enough. Personally, I think of you as a friend, and we are looking forward to seeing you this summer. - Carl & Elizabeth F.
