TV sales reps are not REALTORS ! Do your own due diligence in all issues.

The most important reason to learn how to spell Morse is so that your GPS will accept it and not send you off to Timbuktoo.

Actually there are some TV Reps that are realtors. They have left other businesses to come here and work.

We asked a sales rep while in Fenney how long to MCO and he said it takes 30 minutes less than driving from the northern part of The Villages. We often fly into Tampa instead of Orlando. It is about an extra 15 minute drive according to MapQuest but that does mot include the minutes we always get stuck waiting at toll booths. Also TSA security always takes longer at Orlando.

None of the sales staff have to lie or exaggerate any thing to sell the homes here. This is the fastest growing place in the country. The rest of us who already live here made the right choice. Our homes are a solid financial investment and we get to live HERE. This beautiful place!!!

This is the conversation between me and a young guy, a sales rep, in a patio villa, in Fenney........ Me: So--if I run out of milk, how long does it take to get to the closest Publix? Sales Rep Guy: 3 minutes. Me: By helicopter? Sales Rep Guy: Well, I drive a little fast......maybe 5 minutes. Me: (said nothing, just rolled my eyes) ......Well, I knew there was no way I had been told the truth, but I said to Mr. Boomer, "Let's time it on the way back home." It was 10 and a half minutes, with Mr. B driving maybe slightly over the limit--even though I told him not to. Anyway, we got to Lake Deaton Publix in 10 and a half minutes--with absolutely no traffic. ......and the moral of the story is that while there are many excellent, honest, hard-working TV sales reps, there are a few who seem to think we are stupid--or have no respect for their elders--or whatever--and they will say the damnedest things, thus completely making fools of--not us--but themselves. And soooooo.....if you are looking for a TV sales rep, whether as a buyer or a seller, you don't have to take the first one you talk to. And if you don't know anybody to ask, go to Open Houses and see how the agent on duty operates. Talk with the agent, ask a few questions, listen and learn. ........Oh, and, btw, Lake Deaton Publix is really nice. If Colony is your usual Publix and the parking lot is full, you know the store will be packed and the shelves will be getting skimpy. Lake Deaton Publix is not that much farther and your shopping will be a whole lot easier. Last edited by Boomer; 04-14-2017 at 08:55 AM. Reason: Spelled damnedest wrong |

It may be that the sales rep didn't actually know. True story: We were shopping for a house in Kansas City. A 30-year-old Realtor said that he was driving to Des Moines, Iowa the next day and that it would take him an hour. As we were moving from Iowa and had made the trip several times, we knew that was a three-hour drive. He was genuinely surprised when we suggested he should leave earlier the next day.

Our guy was up front about the taxes in Pine Ridge, and mention Fenney was Sumter, but would also have Wildwood tax. So not only is our guy licensed, but honest. We noticed the large amount of bugs in Fenney, as he put you want to live in nature you get nature.
As TV builds forward from Fenney retail will come. Look at the tiny church that only has 35 members. Invited new neighbors of Fenney to dinner to celebrate their new home. Hoping some will join the church. Most of here trust our TV rep, and very happy we did. |

Realtors vs Sales Reps
Actually no they are no longer Realtors the minute they start working for TV! TV is not in the Board of Realtors and so they are no longer in the Board of Realtors when they become a sales rep. I totally agree it is one hour on a good day down to the airport from CR 44.

I think the 30 minutes is how much longer it is going to take to ride the airport shuttle from LSL to MCO now that it will have to make stops at both Brownwood and Fenney
