 What do we mean when we say that visitors to
a Pringle community receive the “Red Carpet Treatment”?
According to one source (Marvin Terban,
“Dictionary of Idioms”, 1996), rolling out the red carpet originated
from the ancient custom of putting down a red carpet, over which
important dignitaries would walk when they arrived. This was an honor
bestowed on kings and other members or royalty, to avoid having their
feet touch the ground like mere mortals.
At Pringle Development, providing “Red
Carpet Treatment” is a matter of hospitality and respect. It actually
begins the moment you contact the Customer Information Center with
questions about a Pringle home or community. It continues all the way
through to our sales, design and construction staff.
 At every point of contact, our goal is to be
courteous and helpful. We are here to help you gather the information
you need to begin planning your retirement. The fact that you’ve
received this issue of DreamScapes indicates that you have already made
contact with Pringle Development. You may have responded to an ad, or
perhaps you were referred by a friend. But, whether you realize it or
not, our special treatment has already begun.
Eventually, after reading some literature
and weighing your options, you may decide to come down and visit one of
our communities. That’s the time when most folks really begin to
understand what we mean by “Red Carpet Treatment”.
That’s when we have an opportunity to show
you what southern hospitality is all about. We truly do look forward to
meeting you face-to-face, and we do all that we can to make you feel
right at home. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a friendly
receptionist who will introduce you to one of our on-staff sales
consultants. He or she will give you all the time you need to ask
questions and explore the community. You can visit some furnished
models, and if you’d like, they can even help you speak with some
current residents.
 If you’re planning a trip to Florida anytime
soon, you may want to ask about our Life Style Preview Program. When
available, you can stay in one of our guest homes for two nights, for a
nominal fee. During your stay, you’ll be introduced to a resident single
or couple, and you’ll be given an opportunity to join them for dinner.
The residents you meet will be able to tell you first-hand what it’s
like to live in a Pringle community, and they’ll answer any questions
you might have about Central Florida. But the best part is, that you’ll
feel completely at ease, because there is never any pressure from anyone
to purchase anything. So, if you enjoy golf, you might want to look into
Royal Highlands, which features an excellent 18 hole golf course. If you
would prefer to live near a beautiful chain of freshwater lakes, Royal
Harbor is located directly on Lake Harris. And Legacy of Leesburg is a
community that is surrounded by nature preserves with hiking and biking
trails, and a very modern, multi-activity Recreation Center. We know
from speaking with current residents, that all of our Pringle
communities offer something special to different kinds of people. Our
hope is, that you will eventually allow us to roll out the “Red Carpet”
for you. As one of our veteran staff members recently said, “We know how
important this decision is. So we do everything we can to provide the
retirement lifestyle of your dreams”.
