I wondered whether TV sales reps make a higher commission upon selling a new TV home as we were not too subtly encouraged in that direction. Perhaps it was just how our salesperson operated, but it might be a consideration when deciding with whom to list your property.
Whatever the reason, I believe the TV sales agents are now very interested in showing pre-owned homes. Basically, there is a "build-out," if you will, between 466 and a little south of 466A. Nothing new available south of 44 (maybe in Pine Ridge? But they have higher taxes.)


When we listed our house with TV, it was because they gave us a presentation that convinced us that they were very much interested in showing used homes. This was not the case when we were house hunting in 2011.
