Tampa Bay HomeTown Welcome Program

08/26/2026

Your Google reviews matter more to a new mover than to anyone else in your market.

Here’s why: your longtime customers found you through friends, word of mouth, years of driving past your sign. A family that arrived three weeks ago has none of that. Your review page IS your reputation to them.

Quick audit: pull up your listing right now. Is your most recent review older than 60 days? To a newcomer, that reads as “not sure this place is still good.”

Easiest fix in local marketing: ask your three happiest customers this week.

New residents pick these 3 businesses in their FIRST week:

A grocery store. A bank or credit union. An internet provider.

And these 3 they might put off for months: a dentist, a mechanic, a hair stylist.

Here’s what that means if you own one of the “put off” businesses — you have a longer window, but you’re also competing against pure inertia. The business that shows up first, before the need is urgent, is the one they remember when it is.

What made you pick YOUR dentist when you moved here? I’d bet it wasn’t a Google search.

Friends and neighbors, please reach out to Eudaimonia Massage and Skincare, LLC if you know of a suitable space for Tiffany to rent in Apollo Beach or Riverview, and share this if you can.

IMPORTANT INFO. ✨✨✨Eudaimonia Massage and Skincare will have extremely limited availability for the month of July due to circumstances out of my control. Another move will be happening soon, but I completely support KC Permanent Make Up, my leaser, in this decision, and am thankful for her consideration of my business and my clients, and wish to do the same for her. Book now please to get your space.

I am so grateful for the beautiful, peaceful, luxurious space I have been given which opened a Eudaimonia for so many, myself included- thank you dearly for sharing this. My current clients have up leveled, my new clients have grown immensely, and I am able to share my gifts with many more because I am no longer at my home. There is a comfort and peace level that has transcended for us all.

If anyone knows of an appropriate space for rent in Apollo Beach or Riverview, please let me know, and I greatly appreciate connections. Otherwise, I will need to move to Brandon with KC Permanent Make Up to continue providing excellent services to clients. This is absolutely acceptable but I know it increases drive time for my clients, so want to be very transparent in this change and my desire to stay close.

I thank everyone immensely for their love and support. This is a quick switch, unexpected change, but, I always believe that God/Universe works FOR you, not TO you.

Everything always works out. Always. 🩷

Be well, friends, and let me know your next appointment so we can get it worked out.✨✨✨

If you’re passionate about supporting local Tampa Bay business like we are, you can do it even when you travel.

These properties are ✨spectacular ✨!!!

Hi there! We’re the Eshacks…a family of four who truly love to travel, explore new places, and build memories that last a lifetime!

My husband and I have been in real estate for over 20 years, owning long-term rentals before jumping into the short-term rental world about five years ago… and wow, what an adventure it’s been! We decided early on that if we were going to do this, we’d ONLY buy in places we actually love to visit ourselves. Every property we own is somewhere we return to again and again with our family.💕

Today, we have five short-term rentals, with plans to slowly and thoughtfully expand over time. 🏔️🏝️🐻🌊✨

We own a condo in Snowmass, just a 10-minute walk to some of the best skiing in the country and a quick 10–15 minute drive to Aspen. Www.mymountainshack.com

We have a stilt home on North Captiva Island, a truly unspoiled island where cars don’t exist and the hustle and bustle of everyday life is left on the mainland. It’s peaceful, simple, and incredibly special!!!

Our Helen, Georgia cabin is cozy, charming, and a quick stroll to the most adorable Bavarian-style town… a place that feels like stepping into a storybook.
Www.myalpineshack.com

And finally, we have two condos in Indian Shores, each designed to bring the ocean indoors. They’re just a 2–3 minute walk to the beach and surrounded by THEEEE best dive bar and seafood restaurant around! 🦞🍺💥

Every home is thoughtfully designed, carefully maintained, and meant to feel like a place you can truly relax and reconnect with your people, your surroundings, and yourself!

We’re so glad you’re here and hope one of our “Shacks” becomes part of your story too 🤍

Sometimes you sell community. Sometimes you let AI draw you standing in a harbor like a Marvel character. I’ll be planting a few trees later to restore balance. 🌱
