How Joe & Lauretta Hajik Got Here

Joe is a native Floridian and Lauretta was originally born in New Hampshire but came to Florida as a small child. We have a wealth of knowledge of the entire state.

Joe and Lauretta Hajik moved to Citrus in the early 80's with their 4 children. They were out for a drive one day when they discovered Citrus County. The Hajiks like many others were enchanted with the landscape from postcard-perfect rivers and the Gulf of Mexico teeming with fish to the charm of rolling hills in the heart of the county.

Lauretta and Joe Hajik
This enchanting beauty combined with the vast recreational opportunities, low congestion, virtually no crime, great schools and affordable real estate prices sealed the deal for them. We call it God's country.

Soon Lauretta and Joe Hajik decided to move out of the urban sprawl and congestion of St. Petersburg to enjoy the peaceful lifestyle of Citrus County

Before construction on their Citrus County home was complete, Joe and Lauretta spent weekends camping with their four children on their Lecanto property. At night, they sat outdoors and stared up at an unfamiliar sight - the stars.


Joe reflected, "We were just in awe of it all because you never got to see them in the city."

That was more than 20 years ago. Now their stars are their grown children including one son, who is a career Air Force Sergeant and the new friends they make every day in the fulfillment of their life's work.

The Hajiks devote themselves to making sure their customers find that special place to call their own, whether it's a home on a golf course, on the water-- or on a hill close to the stars.

"It just comes naturally for us to help our new friends find their dream home." We consider our clients as potential friends."
