[QUOTE=TOTV Newbie;1312998]Should we get our own Realtor to buy in The Villages or is it best to deal directly with a sales agent?
From bbbbbb:
Here is our take on this and it worked well for us in many Realty deals here and elsewhere.
1. Contact and review with a Village Agent
2. Contact and review with an outside Realtor, Remax, Grizzard, Executive etc.
3. Contact the For Sale by owner on this or on their own website.
4. Buy a lot and have the home of your dreams built, caution, buy a case of Aspirin pills for this one.
That way you get total coverage, will probably learn the most of what you need to do.
We think it is most important,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Get to know the area, and settle on that item first. AREA!!
Decide on a home or Villa as to what is best for you.
We have had 12 homes, mostly elsewhere and have done the items listed above. Take your time and do what is best for you and your family. Probably best to not take too much stock in what you may be TOLD.
And,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, get a big tablet, list what you want and then go after the many challenges to get it as you want and try to protect your sanity and blood pressure. So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE PATIENT.
