We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate experience. From the very beginning, Mercedes Hernandez, went above and beyond to truly understand what “home” meant to us—not just our budget or checklist, but the feeling we were searching for at “On Top of the World” Community. Mercedes’ patience, knowledge, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy. She was always available to answer questions, offer honest guidance, and advocate for us every step of the way.

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate experience. From the very beginning, Mercedes Hernandez, went above and beyond to truly understand what “home” meant to us—not just our budget or checklist, but the feeling we were searching for at “On Top of the World” Community. Mercedes’ patience, knowledge, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy. She was always available to answer questions, offer honest guidance, and advocate for us every step of the way. It never felt like we were just another transaction—we genuinely felt cared for and supported. Her attention to detail and commitment ultimately led us to our forever home, and we are so grateful. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, responsive, and truly invested in your happiness, we wholeheartedly recommend Mercedes Hernandez. This was more than a home purchase—it was a life milestone.

We've been in the home for 1 month. Very happy with the home quality and also the service, both before and after the sale and also before and after the closing. Kudos to Mercedes and to Shane.

Colen Built is a terrible company to do business with. If a retirement community is what you would like the villages offer way more.

Joseph did a great job showing us around last minute.

Great place, friendly people alot of activities nice houses 55 plus community

I love my home! I will start by saying that. However, the exorbitant fee fees for third and fourth residence to live in a home that’s built as a three bedroom home is 100% ridiculous. Not only that it went up over 50% in the last year. They market the new homes as smart homes and give you Alexa devices that work for maybe a month and then stop working on top of that you’re only Internet service provider is bridgenet communications which sucks! It goes out constantly. It has been out now since last night. My smart home now cannot function telephones. Don’t work inside the house without the Wi-Fi because of the way the houses are built. All of the amenities that are not finished yet are constantly pushed out and not finished yet. They increased the fees even though none of the new services are ready. All I have to say is buyer beware in this community.

No smaller footprint homes available allowing for pool space. They are somewhat behind the times I think

It is a very nice community for retirement. Lot's of amenities to join and very quite place.
