It’s times like these that we’re reminded just how grateful we are for our community and Lakeland’s continued support of local businesses.

Just how much does the decision to shop local impact our community? While it’s easy to imagine the impact on the business owner, their employees + families, there’s a ripple effect.

Those businesses, owners, employees + families are also affected by each decision to purchase local. Local businesses that provide the office supplies, marketing materials, accounting + legal serviceseven the charities + non-profits they contribute to – all rely on the business of other local businesses.

While we’ve highlighted some ways to continue supporting local businesses (especially with all those take-out/delivery orders), other industries like real estate aren’t always top-of-mind. 🏡

That’s why Southern Homes – the locally owned + operated home builder that’s called Lakeland home since 1991 – is offering a safe way to continue serving Lakelanders in the real estate market, virtually.

While Southern Homes’ model centers are open (and being cleaned every day), they’re also keeping their virtual doors open – offering Lakelanders who want to move forward with their real estate goals the ability to complete any step of purchasing a new home from the comfort of their current home. From picking out a floor plan to deciding on colors to signing a contract – the pros at Southern Homes can help out, remotely.

They also want to give a big thank you to you, Lakeland. “On behalf of our employees, our subcontractors, and all our community partners, thank you again for your effort to support local businesses + the businesses we partner with each day.”
