[under55]

We first started thinking about TV years ago when the information came on VHS. I think before we made our first Lifestyle Tour we had viewed two tapes and 2 new DVD's. We finally went on our first tour last Christmas. We met with our sales agent and he told us that since neither of us were age 55 yet that we could only purchase a resale. We did look at several resale homes. And we also looked at about every other development in the area and decided that TV was the one for us. Once back home we kept watching the FSBO site. We saw a villa that was just set up perfect. We got back in contact with our Villages Agent and told him the offer we wanted to make. He told us that the offer was to low and refused to make it. We did get a hold of another agent who was going to make the offer for us but before we could get back down there to take care of the details the home sold for just $4000 over the offer we wanted to make.
We decided to take a second lifestyle tour with the understanding that we would be assigned a different Village agent and the whole time being spent looking at a list of Villages resales,FSBO's and MLS listings. We had a list of about 20 homes to look at but with one of the criteria being no homes behind us we were able to rule several out once there. But still nothing really stood out to us. Our Village agent told us that she knew of a great building lot and that we should look at it. We then reminded her that we could not buy or build new because we were not 55. She said that we could probably get approval because we would not really be living there full time for a couple of years. Well we went and looked at the Lot and it was perfect. While standing there she called to put a hold on it and it had been sold about hour before that. But that there was one left just 2 lots down. The lot was just fine so we put a hold on it. We then had to go back to the model homes and figure out which one would fit our budget. We ended up with the Camilla and it is now completed and we close on September 17th.
