Meet Our New Sales Manager
10 Questions with Lisa Cutcher
Congratulations on your well-deserved promotion, Lisa! We’re excited to learn more about you and your vision for The Preserve.
1. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I’m married and the proud mother of three grown sons — Jason, Christopher, and Cody — along with two grown stepsons, Dustin and Cody. I’m also a grandmother to my 11-year-old step-grandson, Kade, and I’ll be welcoming a brand-new grandson at the end of February.
Family means everything to me. Whenever I get the chance to travel back to Michigan or Ohio, I treasure every moment spent with them.
2. You’ve worked in many manufactured housing communities. How is The Preserve different?
The Preserve is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 20+ years in the industry.
Our community features a unique broad-front, fully front-facing design with siding that extends all the way to the ground. This gives the appearance of a traditional residential subdivision rather than a manufactured home community.
Beyond design, the amenities here far surpass anything I’ve experienced before. The Preserve truly sets a new standard for resort-style community living.
3. As a new Sales Manager, do you have plans for changes? And what would you say to someone who visited before but didn’t purchase?
My goal is to further establish The Preserve as the true “resort-style” living experience it already is. I plan to focus on enhancing our presentation and ensuring every prospective resident clearly understands the value, quality, and lifestyle we offer.
For those who visited in the past and didn’t move forward, I would love the opportunity to reconnect. I’d want to understand what held them back and address those concerns directly.
Our lot rent remains lower than most nearby developments and homeowners associations, and we continually evaluate the market to stay ahead of the competition. I’m confident that with a fresh look, they’ll see there isn’t a better place to call home.
4. Why should couples seeking a retirement or second home choose The Preserve?
The Preserve offers the best of both worlds — resort-style living within a close-knit, supportive community.
We provide cost-effective living paired with exceptional amenities, beautifully maintained surroundings, and an active social calendar. Residents can relax or stay as busy as they choose.
What truly sets us apart, however, is the people. Neighbors genuinely look out for one another — whether it’s lawn care, planting flowers, or keeping an eye on a home while someone is away.
At The Preserve, you’re not just buying a home — you’re gaining a lifestyle and a community.
5. What homes do you offer, and how involved can buyers be in the design process?
We offer new manufactured homes from trusted builders including:
-
Jacobsen Homes
-
Skyline Homes
-
Champion Homes
-
Palm Harbor Homes
We typically have several move-in-ready homes available for buyers who prefer a quicker timeline.
If you’d rather build, you can fully customize your home by:
-
Selecting your ideal floor plan
-
Choosing your homesite
-
Personalizing interior and exterior colors
-
Selecting features and upgrades
You can be as involved as you’d like. I guide buyers step-by-step through the process, helping balance design, functionality, and budget so you end up with a home perfectly suited to your lifestyle — without overextending financially.
6. If I order a home today, how long before I can move in?
Typically, the timeline is approximately 3–4 months from contract to move-in.
This includes:
-
Factory construction
-
Delivery
-
Site preparation and installation
-
Utility connections and inspections
-
Final walkthrough and closing
Weather — especially rain — can sometimes affect site preparation, but I keep buyers informed throughout the process to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.
7. Are there turn-key homes available for immediate move-in?
Absolutely! We always maintain turn-key homes that are fully set up and ready for immediate occupancy — allowing you to begin enjoying life at The Preserve right away.
8. Is there a way to experience the community before making a decision?
Yes! We offer a FREE 3-Day, 2-Night Guest Home Program so you can experience life at The Preserve firsthand.
During your stay, you’ll tour:
-
The surrounding area
-
Our Model Center
-
The Clubhouse and Sports Complex
-
Turn-key homes
-
Available lots for custom builds
It’s the perfect way to envision your life here before making any commitments.
9. Why is now a great time to buy at The Preserve?
Our current promotions provide exceptional value:
-
1 Free Year of Lot Rent (excluding the Orchid model)
-
A Free Golf Cart
-
Entry into our $25,000 Drawing on May 9, 2026
(For buyers who close by April 30, 2026)
These incentives make now an outstanding opportunity to maximize savings and secure your place in our resort-style community.
10. What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I have several hobbies that keep me energized and inspired.
One of my biggest passions is raising Monarch butterflies, which are endangered. A resident here at The Preserve introduced me to it, and I was hooked! Last year, I raised and released 88 Monarchs and 1 Queen butterfly. During a recent cold snap, I even hatched six butterflies in a mesh cage in my living room.
I also love spending time with my 91-year-old mom and friends — whether it’s DJ Bingo, dinner outings, or relaxing in my pool. Gardening keeps me happily busy in my flowerbeds.
Another cherished hobby is shark tooth hunting, something my grandfather introduced me to when I was 10. Over the years, I built a large collection — eventually trading it for a Megalodon tooth. I later donated the collection to a memory care unit in Port Charlotte, where it’s now used for crafts — which felt like the right decision.
Nature, creativity, and time with loved ones keep me energized both personally and professionally.
Welcome, Lisa! The Preserve is fortunate to have your leadership and passion guiding our community forward.
