[QUOTE=Mrs. Robinson;1324968]Yeah -- just one more Villages "gotcha" Dr. Boogie. You are correct on all the counts you mention.

Just a couple of the very "unfriendly," not talked about things here in TV.
Sales agents push new vs. resales because that's what they are told to do.

Since Realtors (outside agents) are not permitted to sell new here, existing owners who want to sell will usually get better results overall from an outside Realtor/broker.

bbbbbb Good comments here.
When buying here, think of this:
Write everything down, everything and be sure it is all defined, refunds, cancellations etc. even see a Lawyer for the contract. A few bucks well spent.
Be cautious and be very careful, the name of the game here is to make money, and they do it well.
Do not count on anything being done as it was done in Lodi, that is out of the question. Here, the rules may not be rules, so be careful and do not accept a single word of anything if it is VERBAL, forget it, really. Home prices are not negotiable with the Village Sales, that should tell you something. On a resale, you can negotiate. One other item, get a good technician, have him spend 3 or 4 hours looking at everything in the home,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, EVERYTHING. And again, no verbal agreements and when you put down the money, it is spent,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, gone. Does every window, screen, door, cabinet, garage doors, sprinklers etc. etc. work right? Does home have a brass quality shutoff valve for water or one of those plastic toys called a valve?
Check it all out and do it well, do it over, sleep on it, no reason to hurry, there are plenty of places to buy, plenty!!!!
