What is the purpose of Ave Maria Real Estate and Complete
Home Services?
Transition from Building Development to Community Development.
The concept behind Ave Maria Real Estate and Complete Home Services is to help provide
for a need. The Ave Maria town project is a greatly inspired concept. But, it also requires
inspiring ways in which to unite such greatness with the people who will live there. Any
town has a need for community, and there is no community without people. We have heard
the old saying that you can lead a horse to water... Well, one of the motto's of the Ave
Maria town project that we have heard is "Build it and they will come." That leaves a lot of
room for blank spaces, especially when those spaces are costly. Nevertheless, people are
interested in the beautiful design, inspiring concept and location in Southwest Florida and
they come to visit. But, as they start to consider moving there begins to be an increasing
need for assurance. Some people hesitate and ask the question, "Is the town going to
work?" "What are we going to do for employment and how are we going to build
community?"
Ave Maria is not just a residential development.
In Florida it is common to build a residential development and call it Sable Palm or Royal
something; but, in these cases, there is already an established town in which they are
being built. The town already has its government, its spirit, its economy and other things
characteristic of a town. People come and buy their dream home in these developments;
but, they don't consider the residential development to be the center of something big.
Ave Maria is different because it is not just a residential development. In Ave Maria people
are not just looking for their "dream home," they are looking for their "dream town." They
are attracted to the concept of a Catholic University and Church centered life. But, just as
in the case of a "dream home" in which they move in to a newly finished though empty
house that is in need of being lived in and for people to give it character and new
memories, so also in the case of a "dream town" we are given a bare shell to bring about a
unique character, spirit and a new history. We must create and decide how we are going
to be a part of its government, its spirit and its economy. Hopefully, we come to Ave Maria
to be a part of what will be the greatest town in history--a town that puts family, God's
Church and school of higher intellectual, physical and spiritual pursuit at its center.
An important aspect of community development is development of a
community economy.
While providing real estate and mortgage brokerage services for Ave Maria, we often hear
families excited about the project, though struggling to be able to live there. If a head of
household cannot foresee his family's financial stability he is not apt to decide to move to
Ave Maria no matter how much he and his family love the concept. The most common
concerns quoted that can make the difference between moving or not moving to Ave Maria
are the following: I need to sell my home first; is the town actually going to work?; I cannot
afford the private school's tuition; am I going to be able to find a job there?; what about
taxes and insurance? Ave Maria Real Estate and Complete Home Services seeks to be a
part of a solution to these concerns by creating a few small inroads to a more proximate
economic development, which, in turn, serves as a catalyst to community development.
After all, it is a shame that a lot of people are deciding not to come to Ave Maria because of
financial reasons. These same people are the ones who could bless the town the most.
And, we don't want Ave Maria to turn into a University/retirement community with a lesser
population of middle class families.
Hence, we cannot make a town economy when the money spent on housing needs is not
reinvested into the town itself. Middle class families who live there must be able to make a
living there also. It is one thing if Ave Maria were a residential development like many in
Southwest Florida, where retired people from the north come to buy their dream home and
do not have as strong of a need for employment and opportunities for their children. The
money that they bring is not always reinvested into their community economy. But in Ave
Maria this is essential, because it is a town that needs to become self sufficient. In the
beginning, Ave Maria is a base industry, attracting money from the outside. Eventually,
Ave Maria will develop into a service industry, increasing self sufficiency.
Ave Maria Real Estate and Complete Home Services does not seek to fill in all the blanks.
Its concept is simply created to meet a few proximate needs, perhaps create an ice breaker
for the development of some of the community economy that a town needs. It hopes that
others will do the same. Perhaps everything will go, business as usual. The economy,
spirit and government will just fall into place according to random necessity and mimic the
world around it. But, it is our hope that Ave Maria will not mimic the prevailing culture
around it. We want Ave Maria to live out its great concept and be a great town unlike any
other town in history.
