Rachel’s Corner: Looking Ahead

Happy New Year, everyone!

As we step into 2026, I cannot help but feel genuinely excited for what this year will bring to the Bella Vida community. There is so much ahead of us, and I am grateful to be part of this journey with all of you.

We are still moving forward with Finish Meetings for our apartment homes, and I have truly loved the time spent with those of you who have already completed your appointments. Seeing personal style shine through during these meetings is one of my favorite parts of my role. Each home tells its own story, and watching those choices come together makes Bella Vida feel more real every day.

Looking ahead into 2026, I am also working on some wonderful additions to help support you as you prepare for your move to Bella Vida. First up are Home Visits. Beginning in February, I will start visiting our Villa VIPs in their current homes as a collaborative and supportive partner in preparing for the transition to your future home.

Home visits give us meaningful one-on-one time together. We can walk through what you plan to bring, talk through furniture fit, cabinet needs, and answer the many questions that naturally come up during this stage. We will also review the Moving Guide and go over the vendor resources I have carefully interviewed and worked with to make sure they are the right fit for the Bella Vida community. These visits are tailored to you, whether that means recommending specific resources or simply being a steady and supportive presence during this exciting chapter.

I am truly looking forward to these next steps and everything that 2026 has in store for Bella Vida. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this process with you. It is a joy to watch this community come to life.

Thanks,
Rachel McGowan
