Default Re: Looking for help

As I just mentioned in another thread, friends of ours bought and moved in last August and invited us to visit early in September as we were on our way to Orlando for a trade show. We arrived on Labor Day (Monday), and by the next day we hooked up with a Villages salesperson. Just like that! Suddenly had the feeling that THIS was the proverbial 'rainy day' we were always waiting for. Got real and did a ton of research after our trade show, came back in mid-October armed with appts with a Villages salesperson, one from the MLS, and a list of FSBOs to see. In the end our friends brought us to meet their neighbors two houses away from them who had to sell, and we ended up buying directly even though they had it listed (which they were able to withdraw simply with a phone call). All I can say is that it could not have felt more right, and there's no way to explain this; you have to come and see for yourself. All the best!!!
