- We met with newcomer Michael 6 months ago. he was less than happy because he had found out that he was totally surrounded by rental units rather than full-time residence that he could make friends with.
Now he has had time to Settle in. how is he getting along? Has he made friends? Does he love his new home? Come and check out all his upgrades and hear him discuss his life now that he has been here a while.

My gosh you would never know this was the same guy! He is so happy, it's wonderful to see. He got involved with activities, neatly nested, and is understandably house proud. Just a feel good story. Probably the most organized closets I've ever seen. Wonderful follow up video. 😊
Thanks so much Mary
He’s put a colossal amount of work into making his home perfect. Gotta respect someone who knows what they want and makes it happen!
Huge thanks to Michael for opening up his beautiful home for all to view. Just gorgeous! Never knew what a bird cage was till now. I can picture myself out there relaxing with a book.
I am so glad that things have turned around for Michael.
Thanks Jerry & Linda for the wonderful update. 😊
Our pleasure!
Every inch of his home looks like it came right out of a magazine. Home decorating on that level is an art. What an admirable ability!
Wow, thanks Sandy
@SandyJS1
I know !! He should become a designer …. A design consultant or work at one of the local furniture stores helping people pull it all together!
I disagree. It DOES look cozy, though, and he certainly seems happy. Good for him.
@@snowygirl131 what? you felt the need to put someone down? there is no need to put an insult into someone's compliment. that shows what kind of person you are. And he IS a talented designer!
are you always that rude snowgirl?
@jodib4445 I was not rude. I had an opinion. He doesn't even have artwork on the walls of the guest bedroom and I felt that those bedside lamps were too short to provide balance to the room. That's MY taste. He is outstanding at storage and organizing, though. I would certainly hope to always speak my mind, as long as it is NOT intended to hurt anyone's feelings.
Michael has done an amazing job with his home…it’s absolutely beautiful!
Thank you
What a beautiful home! Perfect size with beautiful upgrades! As a single person, this is exactly the size I would choose. It's great to see and hear that Michael is so happy and involved in TV life! And no wonder, we could tell from the first video that he has the personality that would have a great life there! Congratulations Michael!
So sweet, thanks Karen!
I love The Villages.
I am a tenant. I have a two-year lease and am adding another two years. My landlord is wonderful.
My neighbors are great. We all have a great time.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello Peder..I would also like to be a tenant and check out the villages…looked on the villages website but I would like to get in touch with a homeowner..what do you recommend thank you.
Glad to see that life in TV has become great for Michael, what a beautiful home he has created! What Jerry says is true, a new home fixer-upper! Well, Linda, tell Jerry to get that checkbook ready! ❤
Without watching (which I am about to do), my guess is that he is doing great because he is such an upbeat person.
Wow....I think he will be getting requests for interior/exterior design of other's properties. Could be a nice side gig.
New flooring is beautiful. I can’t believe the sub-standard paint The Villages uses inside and out on their new homes. For that price, they should be using top of the line paint and finishes. Not the case. Farrow and Ball paint has lovely colors, but we have wonderful domestic paint brands, even the Behr brand is excellent. I’m very glad things have worked out for you, Michael. Terrific video, Jerry and Linda.
Thank you
He looks so happy!
I am - very blessed indeed
Are you single haha ?@@michaelseibel858
Jerry and Linda you guys are really helping people! So uplifting. Thanks for showing up and doing this show.
Our pleasure, Judi! Thank you.
This man loves his clothes. Holy moly! Beautiful home :)
He almost did everything new in a new home …. Expensive but beautiful!!!
I remember this video, and I thought then till just about 10 seconds ago, that a "birdcage" was an actual birdcage that holds birds, you know a SMALL cage. So, they say if you learn something new every day, you'll live longer, this is my "learn" for the day Jerry and Linda. LOL A birdcage is in fact, meant to be other things then something you hold your Parrot in. tee heeee....Here in Central Illinois, I guess I would have called that an enclosed patio. Cute. Love your video's, and thank you so much for sharing pieces of your life. R.I.P. Gizmo xoxo Nancy
I live nearby in Ocala. We call it a screened-in patio or screened-in pool. I don’t know where the birdcage term comes from. When I first heard it, I had no idea what it was.
Michael, please give Jerry and Linda a list of all the contractors you used who you felt were great. It will help all of us!
I saw the first interview with Michael and have been wondering how he was doing. This was such a good update, especially seeing how happy he is.
Michael did a wonderful job updating his villa inside and out. Thanks for allowing us into his home.
Regards from the Village of Marsh Bend. I love it here!
Wow, I’m impressed. Michael has worked so hard to upgrade his beautiful home. He seems so happy, I’m so glad he has made friends.
Beautiful inside and out ! Michael did a great job.
Wow! Michael has fabulous taste. Great job!!!
Michael and I became friends during the first video he did with Jerry and Linda! He has actually been going over to our house in Dabney taking pictures during all the construction! Thank you, Michael!
That is awesome!
Thanks Mark - looking forward to you and Brenda getting down here this month! Life is very good here, and retirement is the best!
You can see how happy Michael is!!! Wonderful!!!
He is so neat and pleasant
It’s so good to see that Michael is now having such a great time in his neighborhood. He has done a wonderful job adding his personal touches too. Thank you Jerry & Linda for doing this ‘feel good’ video.
Thank you so much Rosemary!
God Answers Prayers! I prayed for you after the first video, Michael. I'm very happy for you. Your Home Sweet Home and yard are perfection! Like Linda, you put several things on my Wish List as well. Thank You for the inspiration & ideas!
Great filming, Jerry! Even though I'm in the northeast, you & Linda are my virtual neighbors & friends. I love where I am but I also love to 'visit' you in Florida twice a week! The best of both worlds!
🤍🌱🤍🌱🤍🌱🤍
Thank you so much rnsrn!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, that means more to me than you realize - thank you for your prayers and kind words.
My only remaining question, is Michael's home a Topaz? His home looks beautiful! Clearly he's making so many new friends because he really seems like he is a good friend! To make a friend you must be a friend. What a nice guy! 😊
Thanks! And you guessed correctly - y model is a “Topaz”
Wow! What a beautiful home 😍 I was sold when he showed his perfect closet!!Nothing better than a clean and organized Man ❤
😀
What a great job he did! It has changed my mind regarding patio villas. He really thought outside the box!! Great video. Enjoy all your upgrades!
Thank you 😊 great video. Linda was so quiet, I knew her wheels were turning and thinking of all the things she wants to do at home. Get ready Jerry! Michael did a beautiful job upgrading that patio villa. He didn’t miss a thing, it’s gorgeous. Now that it’s all done he seems so much more relaxed and settled in. That floor is stunning.
Thank you
Michael is a gem💎 ! Please take up his offer to show his 1 year inspection results. His choice of upgrades & landscaping 🌴are truly beautiful and I’m sure very costly. Did you ask him how much he spent in total? Thanks for an inspiring show, Bri
I'm glad to know that he is enjoying his beautiful new home and new friends.
The Flooring is Stunning!!!! Beautiful cohesive color in the kitchen with a beautiful Quartz counters and undermount sink!
We totally agree!
Michael, please come remodel my home! Yours is amazing!! Great job!!!
Thank you
We were told by people we know here that when we moved in we'd have a steady stream of neighbors knocking on our door to welcome us. Not one person did. We moved in a year after everyone else so we figured neighborhood friendships had already been established. So we decided that we would go around and shake hands. We also went daily to the pool, and attended every gathering we could think of. We've been here for 5 months now and we have friends and activities that keep us busy. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to people- people here want to meet you and befriend you.
Bill and Jeanie - you did the same thing I did - you got out there and mingled in the community, and naturally made friendships - glad you are enjoying the lifestyle here as well.
Great advice Bill and Jeanie!
Wow he’s done an amazing job with his home. With a home that welcoming and loving personalized he comes across as caring and invested. His new friends have a good one in him.
Michael you have a beautiful home inside and out.
Michael! Nice to see you again. 😊
😀
Michael, beyond impressive for the amount of work and improvement !!! Neat guy indeed. Great storage ideas and organizer. You should start a consulting service offering your keen eyesights for home improvement.
😀
I am so happy for Michael….video well done. Jealous of his patio villa. Good for him.
A genuinely nice guy! Great video!
Thank you Joel - and thank you for being such a good friend 😀
Linda’s smile is contagious❤
What a wealth of knowledge. Incredibly motivational. Great ideas for home improvement.
You can see the happy and enjoyment on his face😊 congrats
😁
Thank you for updating us on Michael. It was great to learn he is busy, happy, and enjoying TV now. Michael, you have a lovely home. Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
😀
Great show, thank you Michael for showing us your home great example of what you can do to customize your retirement home. Thank you, Jerry & Linda for a video that shows what you can have if you want a smaller home and how customizing it can upgrade it fabulously. This was informative and fun, I think you may have many viewers who are now interested in moving to the villages thanks to Michael. I am so happy Michael has found what I believe is his forever home.
Glad you enjoyed it, Terry!
What a beautiful transformation! Michael you did an amazing job, just beautiful! You're an inspiration, definitely made this home your very own. Thank you Jerry and Linda for showcasing Michael's home.
I really enjoyed the tour of Michael’s home. It gives a much better perspective on the home than a floor plan or a static 3d tour. It is also helpful to see the improvements made to the original home. Please do more of these tours!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad Michael made some friends and has settled in to his peaceful place.
Michael really did a fantastic job on his home. Loved it.
Michael gorgeous home. Moved here from CA site unseen.took a leap of faith. Don't know anyone either. can't wait to get involved.
Hi - congrats on your move - though things started off a bit slow at first, I quickly met many, many people and so many friends, and you will too - just get out and get involved in the many activities.
This was a great show. It was nice to see how he is doing and the progress in the house. What a great guy. Such a positive attitude. Beautiful home Michael.
Thanks Jeff
@@michaelseibel858 you’re welcome. Have a great day.
I'm glad things are working out & going so well for Michael. Thanks for the update & Thanks to Michael for sharing his home.
It might be nice if there were neighborhoods dedicated for rentals.
Interesting segment. Would be great to build on these series of personal interest videos. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad to hear a positive update. BTW Linda, send Jerry golfing & invite Michael over for lunch. He has a great eye, hint, hint Linda 😂
Multiple coffee makers and grinders. That is the man for me! :). Love the pull out shelving. I need to get that.
The best!
he did a fantastic job with his house. It helps when you have a lot of extra money from all the insurance premiums people have been paying which apparently much has gone to his salary. He even paid his house off in cash. I would not be so jealous but then i think of the huge insurance premiums i have and wonder how much i am making insurance agents wealthy . This is opening my eyes to what is happening here in florida.
Amazing video, thank you so much❤
Omg I need to move there I feel like a hermit here in Missouri and there's nothing to do. His home is beautiful
Looks great! Show him again down the road!
Thanks for the update.
Beautiful home - thanks for sharing your story!
Awesome!
Nicely done.
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Wow what gorgeous upgrades! Thank you for sharing!
So HAPPY FOR YOU, MICHAEL !!!! Hopefully other potential " Villagers" will follow your positive energy and realize this "IS" a wonderful area to retire.
Thanks so much 😀
This guy impresses me with his upgrades.
Great Update! Definitely appreciate then detailed tour. A happy ending/beginning!
Beautiful home and great upgrades Michael! I love how everything has a place. And that corner landscaping is excellent plus! 🌴 🌳 🐈⬛
Thank you
Great story. Well done.
Love the birdcage!!!
I am so excited for him and he seems like such a nice person. He has done so much work and it all looks great and I bet Pepper enjoys that outside covered area. Thanks for another great video.
Gorgeous upgrades! Love this show.
Wonderful show. So glad the community came together
Michael certainly has an eye for design and decorating. Based on so many positive comments, the villages should create a Topaz - Michael version with all the same upgrades. They could sell so many homes with this upgrade package.
In round numbers, it would be nice to know the total cost of all the upgrades (or individually).
Love your home.
I have friends Sandy and Norm that bought there years ago and watching this made me realize I need to get in touch with them. I live in North Palm Beach and not looking for a place, but I’m really enjoying your videos. You are the cutest couple.
Thank you, Kathryn! ❤❤❤
Great video. So happy things worked out great for Michael.
How nice for him to and such a beautiful home😊
Loved that house tour! Gorgeous what he’s done with the space!
Great video. So glad he’s happy now.❤
Such a nice home!
Great news! 🥰Beautiful!
Fantastic I loved everything ❤
Michael, your home is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Jerry & Linda - you're two of the nicest, kindest, people I've ever seen. Because of you, this gentleman is settled into his new home & community and making friends. Kudos to you, and may you reap what you've sown many times over!
Aww, thank you Lilly. When we hear things like that we know it is all worthwhile.
Another Happy Story Jerry and Linda! Love to see positive life styles!
Happy Thursday!
What an immaculate neat guy!!

Whole house looks great!
I am so glad things worked out for him and the house is beautiful. 😊
Very nice ❤😊
What a great show! Thank you so much for sharing with us all. I now have to find the original episode that I missed.! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Such a wonderful update to this story!
Love all the upgrades you did in your home Michael...Looks amazing.
Thank you for update. I have thought about this show & was hoping for a happy update for this man living in The Villages! Bonus was not only how well he settled in but the thoughtful beautiful updates crafted in his home.
