Win HOA-Friendly Sales Year-Round
Description
A shed that actually fits your backyard and your HOA shouldn’t be a unicorn. We sit down with Kelli and Ana Garcia from Florida’s Finest Sheds to unpack how they sell year-round in Central Florida, match strict neighborhood rules, and still deliver fast enough to save a customer from an expiring storage bill. Their story starts with an insurance agency and a back-lot opportunity, then grows into a diversified dealership offering metal sheds, wood sheds, finished-out models, carports, and pole barns—all tuned to small yards, short height limits, and narrow access.
We dig into the decisions behind their vendor mix—Nelson’s Buildings for metal and pole barns, Eternity Buildings for wood and a finished-out Platinum Series—so buyers can choose based on use case, not guesswork. You’ll hear how they counter old myths about wood in humid climates, why six-by-eight footprints thrive in dense subdivisions, and how a clear permitting line keeps “tiny home” dreams compliant. The marketing strategy is equally pragmatic: an SEO-rich website that answers every question, Facebook and Marketplace to meet local demand, and a hot-lead playbook that moves from click to call in minutes.
What stands out most is their independence and mindset. As female leaders in a male-leaning category, they blend specs and service with detail-driven sales that win trust. Their partnerships with local delivery teams allow next-day placements when it matters most, turning urgency into a competitive edge. If you’re a dealer, you’ll find a working model for resilience through diversification. If you’re a buyer, you’ll get a clearer path from idea to install—without the runaround.
