I was at the Meridiana VIP event when RISE unveiled all this. The client I brought was SO excited she leaned over to me midway through and whispered “My inner nerd is flipping out. You have to get me a house here.” If they deliver on everything promised it will be a HUGE draw. They’re hitting on all the buyer triggers with educational opportunities for kids and amenities for pets (their “Ambassador” is a super cute golden retriever named Soleil).
Is summer over yet? I swear I saw some kids back in school :(
