Welcome to Keller Williams Realty,  Maria Pauelsen

THINKING OF A MOVE TO FLORIDA! Are you questioning whether to buy now or wait. Now is the time to buy. Interest Rates are low, inventory is up and seller are motivated. Not to mention the $8,000 Tax credit to first time home buyers (meaning can't have owned a home in the last 3 years and you still qualify)as long as you purchase in 2009. Now truly is the time to buy. If your looking for warm winters and plenty of water sports, it's time to visit the "Nature Coast"! Citrus County FL offers a wonderful climate. Located in west central Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, just an hour north of Tampa. It offers sping-fed rivers, several chains of lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Citrus county is home of the famous manatees and is a great place for boating, fishing and diving.

Centrally located and close to Ocala with many horse show facilities within a short drive. Enjoy the many golf courses which are ranked as some of the finest championship courses in the country. Or play tennis at some of the state of the art tennis clubs. Children can attend some of the best rated Public schools in the state of Florida!
