2009 SE 15th Lane puts brick construction, a saltwater pool, and a .47 acre homesite together in Sherwood Forest/Woodfields, all without an HOA. With 2,478 living square feet, this single story home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a flex room, and a 2 car attached garage in an in-town Ocala location where homes with this much land are getting harder to find. Inside, the layout gives you great options. The flex room can serve as a 4th bedroom, office, or hobby space, and the main living areas flow easily into the kitchen and adjoining rooms for everyday use and time with family or guests. Large windows throughout the home bring in natural light and keep the interior bright. Brazilian cherry wood floors run through the living room and 2 bedrooms, while the 21 x 17 signature suite has brand new carpet. French doors, walk in closets, and 3 full baths add even more flexibility to the floor plan. Outside, the pool adds another full living area to the property, with room around it to enjoy right away and make your own over time. The variable speed pool pump was just replaced April 2, and the pool deck was freshly painted in March 2026. The private yard adds even more usable outdoor space, and the lot size is a major advantage this close to town. The update list here is impressive. Roof and A/C (gas heat) are both just 5 years old. A whole house natural gas Generac generator is already in place for added peace of mind when the power goes out. The garage includes a new Genie garage door opener with soft sound rollers. The cast iron drain pipes have already been rehabilitated by Pipeliner Pros, and both the windows and breaker panel were replaced several years ago. Set on a quiet street in Sherwood Forest, this property gives you room to spread out without giving up convenience. Shopping, restaurants, schools and daily errands are all a short drive away. No HOA only adds to the appeal.

About Rhonda Cassidy

Meet Rhonda Cassidy Trusted Ocala REALTOR®, Luxury Home Specialist, and Advocate for Buyers & Sellers Throughout Central Florida Real estate isn't just my career—it's my calling. I was born and raised in Ocala, Florida, and for more than five decades I've had the privilege of watching this community grow into one of the most desirable places to call home. It's where I raised my two beautiful daughters, where my grandchildren are creating their own memories, and where my family continues to put down roots. Ocala isn't simply the market I serve—it's home. Before beginning my career in real estate, I spent more than 20 years as a store manager for one of the nation's largest furniture retailers. Those years taught me the importance of leadership, communication, customer service, and earning people's trust. While I enjoyed my career, I always knew there was something else I was meant to do. For years, my mother and I dreamed about getting our real estate licenses together. Life had different plans. After courageously battling breast cancer, she passed away before we ever attended our first class together. I put that dream aside for a while. Then one day, when my employer wanted to relocate me away from Ocala, I realized God was opening a different door. Instead of moving away from the community I loved, I chose to pursue the career that had always been on my heart. I've often said: "My previous career chose me. I chose real estate." Looking back, my only regret is that I didn't pursue it sooner. A Different Kind of Real Estate Experience Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions most people will ever make. It's not something people do every day. That's why I never forget that every transaction represents someone's next chapter. Whether you're purchasing your very first home, relocating to Central Florida, downsizing into a 55+ community, searching for a luxury home, or saying goodbye to a family home filled with memories, I believe you deserve more than someone who simply unlocks doors or places a sign in your yard. You deserve someone who stands beside you every step of the way. My Promise to Every Client When someone hires Rhonda Cassidy, they can expect honesty. I believe the best advice isn't always the easiest advice to hear. My responsibility isn't to tell clients what they want to hear—it's to give them the knowledge, guidance, and perspective they need to make confident decisions. Sometimes that means having difficult conversations. Sometimes it means recommending a different strategy. Sometimes it means protecting a client from making an expensive mistake. No matter the situation, my commitment remains the same: Your best interests will always come before my own. When we work together, I want you to know that I'm in your corner. We're wearing the same team jersey. Solving Problems Is What I Do Every real estate transaction has challenges. Appraisal issues. Inspection concerns. Unexpected repairs. Negotiations. Changing market conditions. My clients often describe me as a problem solver because I focus on finding solutions instead of focusing on obstacles. I believe my job is to carry as much of the stress as possible so my clients don't have to. One seller who originally tried selling his home on his own eventually hired me after realizing how complicated the process had become. He nearly accepted an offer that wasn't in his best interest before we sat down and reviewed his options together. Although we didn't always agree during the process, honesty remained at the center of every conversation. By the time we closed, he sold his home for approximately $26,000 more than he had originally planned. Afterward, he told me several times, "I wish I had hired you sooner." That client has since referred multiple friends and family members to me—not because I told him what he wanted to hear, but because I protected his interests from beginning to end. To me, that's what great representation looks like. Compassion Beyond the Transaction Some of the most meaningful moments in my career have nothing to do with sales prices. I've worked with families who were grieving the loss of a parent while trying to sell a home from another state. During those difficult seasons, I knew they needed more than a Realtor. They needed someone they could trust. I coordinated cleaning out the home. I arranged lawn maintenance. I handled details they couldn't easily manage from hundreds of miles away. My goal was simple: Take as much off their shoulders as possible so they could focus on healing. Real estate isn't always about buying and selling. Sometimes it's about helping people through one of life's biggest transitions with compassion, patience, and understanding. Staying Ahead in a Changing Market Real estate is constantly evolving, and so is my approach. Every Monday is what I call Marketing Monday. It's dedicated time to studying market trends, reviewing competing listings, analyzing pricing strategies, evaluating buyer activity, and looking for opportunities to better position my clients' homes. I also embrace today's technology to provide my clients with a competitive advantage. My marketing strategy includes: Professional digital marketing Artificial intelligence (AI) marketing Search engine optimization (SEO) YouTube video marketing Social media marketing Ongoing market analysis Continuous education and innovation The real estate industry changes quickly, and I believe my clients deserve an agent who never stops learning. Areas of Expertise Throughout my career, I've developed particular expertise in: 55+ communities throughout Ocala and The Villages Golf course communities Luxury homes Pool homes Relocation to Central Florida Residential home sales Buyer representation Seller representation As an eXp Luxury Certified Agent, I understand the unique marketing, negotiation, and presentation strategies required to successfully represent luxury properties while delivering exceptional service to every client, regardless of price point. Leadership, Mentorship, and Giving Back I'm proud to be an eXp Realty ICON Agent, a recognition earned through production, professionalism, and contribution to the company. I'm equally proud to serve as a mentor to new real estate agents. I remember what it felt like when I first entered this business and didn't always know where to turn. Helping other agents build successful careers allows me to give back to an industry that has given so much to me. Watching others succeed is one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Life Outside of Real Estate When I'm not helping clients, you'll usually find me spending time with my family. Being a Nana to my twin granddaughters, Camilla ("Mug") and Charlotte ("Sweet Char"), is one of life's greatest blessings. My husband and I also enjoy playing golf together in an Ocala golf league, spending time on the water fishing, and taking advantage of everything Central Florida has to offer. One of my favorite things about living here is that both Florida's east coast and west coast are just a short drive away. Whether we're enjoying the beach, spending time outdoors, or making memories with family, I'm reminded every day why I love calling this area home. Why Clients Continue to Choose Rhonda Cassidy Clients choose me because they know I'll tell them the truth. They know I'll answer the phone when I'm available—even after traditional business hours—because real estate doesn't always happen between 9 and 5. They know I'll continue learning, adapting, and embracing new technology to better serve them. Most importantly, they know I'll always work as though I'm wearing the same team jersey. When your goals become my goals, we become partners. That's how I believe real estate should be. Ready to Make Your Next Move? Whether you're buying your first home, selling a luxury property, relocating to Ocala, exploring 55+ communities, or simply wondering what your home is worth in today's market, I'd be honored to help. Let's have a conversation about your goals and create a strategy that puts your best interests first.
