Casa Linda Quality Homes

 “Quality is our absolute first priority. We offer an exceptionally well built home with all the comforts expected from our buyers.” CasaLinda

A few days ago Rich and I were taking pictures of the new homes in Palmera Village for our social media. Palmera Village is the most recent phase in Casa Linda. A concept of smaller sized homes with affordable pricing.

Soon  I heard someone say  “Hey are you the resident photographer”? Turning around I found one of the Casa Linda owners, Canadian Paul Mancini. Paul is responsible for the construction side of the development. It is quite common to see Paul driving around on a Saturday or Sunday in Casa Linda checking on all the progress.

During our conversation l mentioned how I love the bar foot rest on the new Palmera homes.

“We are always trying to improve on the quality of our homes” said Mr. Mancini. The bar foot rest has enough room to put your foot under in case you need to reach over as well as providing comfort for your feet while standing or sitting.

Although a bar foot rest may seem like a small improvement. It all adds up in the long run. Have you ever sat at a bar that doesn’t have one? It is uncomfortable. Mental note – need to have one installed on our outside bar.

Overall Continuous Improvement

We live in Casa Linda and over the past four years have seen continuous improvement both in the quality of the homes as well as the overall development.

From on-line systems for maintenance tickets with resolution, employee training – english lessons offered, pool department training and check list procedures, water bottle delivery (yes it is quick), new back-up generator system to internet improvement on both reliability and speed.

Another aspect of Casa Linda is the rental side of the business. Today many owners buy their villa and place it in Casa Linda’s rental program. The rental revenue generated helps pay for the cost of the home. This makes for an excellent real estate investment or opportunity to have a caribbean home paid for when you retire.
