From House to Home Episode 8: Homes, Land, and Halloween Fun

A Gulf-view condo, a home on acreage, or a place to start your next chapter—Episode 8 of From House to Home offers plenty to explore.

Join Carl Stratton, CEO and Broker of Dennis Realty, for a tour of Florida homes, investment properties, land, and leasing opportunities. With nearby stops grouped together and a Halloween real estate riddle woven into the show, this episode takes a scenic route through the communities we serve.

Explore Homes From the Nature Coast to Southwest Florida

The home tour begins in Inglis and Inverness before continuing through Brooksville, the Tampa Bay area, Bradenton, and Venice. Along the way, Carl highlights properties with very different settings and possibilities, including:

• Inglis: A remodeled home on more than an acre, with a fireplace, updated kitchen, and flexible living space.
• Clearwater Beach: A furnished condominium on Sand Key with beach and Gulf views.
• San Antonio: A modern farmhouse on acreage with room to explore country living.
• Ruskin: A home in Hawks Point and a waterfront condominium in the Little Harbor area.
• Bradenton: A pool home in Tara Preserve with a screened outdoor gathering area.

The episode also explores investment opportunities in Zephyrhills and Venice, plus a waterfront redevelopment property in Aripeka. Each calls for its own questions about the property, its condition, and your intended use.

Land Listings Get Their Own Tour

If your plans begin with land, this episode has a separate section just for you.

Carl visits parcels in Spring Hill, Dade City, and Zephyrhills, including residential sites, commercial land, riverfront acreage, and a wooded five-acre parcel.

Before choosing a site, it helps to understand more than its size or view. The tour encourages listeners to ask about boundaries, road access, utilities, site preparation, and permitted uses. Those details can help you decide whether a parcel fits the plans you have in mind.

Residential Rentals and Commercial Leasing

The leasing tour features homes in Crystal River, Brooksville, and Tampa’s Westchase area, along with office or retail space in Hudson.

Highlights include a five-bedroom rental in Crystal River, a home in Brooksville’s Trillium community, and a Westchase townhome with a screened lanai. Carl shares the listing agents’ names and phone numbers so listeners can follow up about current availability, included services, and complete lease terms.

Moving Locally—or Farther Away?

Episode 8 also features information about Dennis Realty Market Ready, with financing through Notable, for eligible homeowners preparing to sell.

Dennis Realty Cares: October Giving

Our community spotlight highlighted two October donation drives:

Ziggy’s Legacy’s Spooktacular Supply Drive collected pet supplies and other requested items at our Brooksville office.

Socktober collected new, unopened socks for foster children benefiting A Kid’s Place at our Lutz office.

Both collections ran through October 30. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the information, or helped support these efforts.

A Simple Tip Before Your Next Showing

Carl’s tip this episode is to prepare three questions before you arrive:

1. Ask about the feature that caught your attention. How would that extra room, lanai, or community amenity fit your everyday life?
2. Ask about responsibilities. What maintenance, services, or property documents should you understand?
3. Ask about the next step. Would another visit, additional information, or a conversation with your agent help?

A short list can help you enjoy the tour and leave with useful information.
