FSBO 19 Tortuga Way Zillow Listing

Have you discovered Zillow? It is one of my very favorite websites to visit when searching for homes for sale. What I love about Zillow is the capability to do a location-map search. In this scenario, we are searching for a senior mobile home for sale leesburg fl. Those are the search terms used in Google.

To find the Zillow results in the first page of seaching, you need to scroll down a bit, past the results for MHVillage [which seems to get good search placement].

Clicking through on the first Zillow search result, you see a map of Leesburg with markers for the various mobile homes for sale. However, you do not see ALL of Leesburg -- particularly the Lakes at Leesburg where 19 Tortuga Way is located.
