Warren W. Smith
Vice President of Sales

It is exciting to drive around the community and see all the building activity at Toscana with 25 Sunrise homes under construction along with several estate homes! Guests visiting Toscana are always impressed with the construction activity.

I'm happy to report that we are off to another great year! So far in 2015, there have been five resale home sales and three new home sales. The Toscana Sales Team participated in all five resale transactions. It's good to see the interest in resales pick up this early in the year.
