Now wait a minute. It is one thing to get advice from owners of homes here and another to get advice from someone who doesn't live here in The Villages and has never lived here.
I am sure you would love it here Ms. Putnam,but the selling of homes here, this is a total different kind of thing than anyone has ever seen before. There are no offers on new homes. the price is the price and nothing is "thrown in" and no one is forced or coerced or "tricked" into buying anything here by anyone who works for THE VILLAGES. FHA and VA are not allowed on new homes, you must be able to put 20% down on new homes. THAT is one of the reasons why we liked it right away. AND There was NO pressure. Houses aren't hard to sell here. When we first came here, we had to call the agent to show us homes. She did for a couple of hours and we didn't hear from her again, she went on vacation. We found a home we liked by ourselves and then found Jim McLaughlin who ended up splitting the fee with the girl on vacation. Jim Mclaughlin wasn't pushy either and we bought our second new home through him. Nice, decent man, Jim.
