Wait… why did Saint Leo University never buy the Abbey Golf Course? 👀

Seriously.
How did land sitting across the street from Saint Leo University never become part of the university?

I have my own theory… and if you live in East Pasco County, follow real estate development in the greater Tampa Bay area, or care about the future of Saint Leo, Florida, this story is worth paying attention to.

The full breakdown is in the comments. Watch the full video and tell me what you think⛳

You don’t have to leave Florida to feel like you escaped… ☀️

Quick grown-up getaway to the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate… and the best part? It’s only about a 45-minute drive from the Tampa area.
✔️ Adult pool time (peace and quiet… finally)
✔️ Lazy river laps like we were on vacation mode 24/7
✔️ Hit the spa for a steam (highly recommend)
✔️ Got our steps in walking the property
✔️ Could’ve played golf… but let’s be honest, not my thing 😄
✔️ Dinners at David’s Club that did NOT disappoint
✔️ Kentucky Derby on the big screen + picked the winning horse (yes, still bragging 🐎)

I’ve been coming here for years with family… but this little adults-only reset? 10/10.

Do you think I’m right about this stain? 🤔 Be honest before you read…

Alright, here’s the update from that home inspection in Land O’ Lakes, Florida…

That weird stain on the bottom of the closet door had everyone guessing. Water, pets, all kinds of theories. But after looking at the rest of the home, here’s what actually makes the most sense to me 👇

👉 I think this happened when the floors were replaced.
The doors were likely removed, set aside somewhere, and THAT’S when the damage happened.

Why? Because nothing around the door shows water damage. No pattern. No spread. Just that one isolated spot.

So now I’m curious… do you agree with me or do you think it’s something else?

And seriously, thank you for all the comments on the last post. Y’all came in hot with the detective work 😂

👉 This is exactly why having a Realtor at your home inspection matters. I’m there catching things, questioning things, and helping you think through what’s a big deal… and what’s not.

I’m at the home inspection and had to show this because here’s the truth…
Mixing and matching floors is one of the fastest ways to make a home feel choppy, outdated, and honestly… cheaper.

Consistency matters. Buyers notice. Value reflects it.

Thinking about selling and not sure what updates actually matter?
Don’t guess and waste money.

I’ll give it to you straight on what’s worth doing before you list.
