$14.3 Million The Most Amazing Home in Tampa Bay just went on the market today! Call for details and to set up a private tour Charles Rutenberg Realty 813-486-8175 Jerry Glaser has built a lot of homes. Highly regarded from St. Pete Beach to Pasco County, Glaser Homes, Inc. ranks in the top echelon of exclusive custom home builders throughout the Tampa Bay area, as well as across the country. So there’s no doubt that Jerry knows what he’s talking about when he calls the Odessa home of Bill and Nancy Baumgart his finest—and most complex—project to date.As covered in the previous issue of Housetrends, the Baumgart estate consists of a 21,000-square-foot residence with a 5,000-square-foot guest house, six-car motor court, unique entertainment wing and resort-caliber pool area. And this massive undertaking was completed, including interior décor, in less than 21⁄2 years. The secret? Common goals, professional team, good communication and efficient coordination. According to Glaser, his relationship with each client sets the tone for the entire project, regardless of its size. In fact, he will turn down lucrative projects if he feels that he and the homeowner are not on the same wavelength regarding the level of quality and the process needed to achieve it. “It’s important that our personalities mesh as much as that we agree on the design and budget,” notes Glaser. “Trust, mutual respect and communication are the underpinnings of any working relationship. Nancy and Bill were not only ideal clients, they have become my friends.” Communication Frequent and clear communication between homeowner and builder is the key to a successful, ongoing partnership. “I want my clients to have a good experience when building their dream home, whether it’s a 3,500-square-foot residence or an estate like this one. With a project of this magnitude, we practically live together for two or three years, so it has to be enjoyable for both of us,” sta
