Open House/Personal Property Sale Guidelines


Policy:             This policy provides guidelines to be used for inspection of homes and personal property for sale by Pelican Landing residents. The Colony shall be subject to the Declarant’s open house policy.

Purpose:          The policy is established to facilitate the inspection of homes and personal property for sale while minimizing the adverse effects on the privacy of Pelican Landing residents.

Procedures:     Advertised and realtors' Open Houses may be held by realtors or residents from 1 PM to 5 PM on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays for the purpose of showing homes currently for sale.  Days and times are subject to future change to accommodate any changes in local practice.  Realtors or owners must register ALL Open Houses with the Privacy Office by FAX or in writing.  Deadlines for registration are 3 PM Monday for Wednesday Open Houses and 3 PM Thursday for weekend Open Houses.  Lists of all registered Open Houses will be maintained at each gate house.  Non-residents must provide Open House address(es) or the names and phone numbers of respective realtors or owners for gate entry.  The gate house attendant will provide non-residents with directions to the house(s) of interest. All open house signs must meet standards.

Auctions or Garage Sales of personal property are not permitted within Pelican Landing.  Residents may sell personal property to other residents by advertising through their UOC representative or through their neighborhood website, if any.  Such sales are intended for persons relocating from or within Pelican Landing and wishing to sell a major portion of their home furnishings.  Inspections of such furnishings must be inside the residence and by appointment.

Residents wishing to sell lesser quantities of personal property and to reach non-resident buyers as well can participate in community-sponsored off-site sales held periodically.  Residents will be advised of such sales through notices on the Community Center bulletin board, the www.PelicanLanding.org website, and the Community TV Channel 96.
