Then we came to TV and everything changed we couldn't find anyplace else with what was available in and around here. We researched the area both online & looking. WE knew we'd be somewhere in Sumter County so we checked that out online. We met a lovely couple in Spanish Springs Square and boy did they fill us in about taxes, utilities, rules, expenses etc. They should have been sales agents. We had studied the floor plans etc. before we came for our purchase trip. Our sales agent PJ Martin listened took us to 4 areas in Bonita where they were building at the time and picked our lot, met with the design team made a few changes went home and sold our existing home in 9 days. Closed on our home here and everything we had researched online prior to our move was spot on. My taxes which we also researched were spot on. I look at all the resales in new areas already and say didn't do their homework. Didn't know about City Taxes or this expense etc. DO YOUR HOMEWORK there's a ton of information online and ask people who have been here for a while. Sorry for the long rant.
Skip. You have continued to give good, factual information on this forum. You avoid rumors and have a positive take on most things. You are calm and helpful like the firefighter you were.

Thank you for your service, sir. I am glad you two are Villagers!
