If you are shopping with a Villages real estate broker, and only looking at villages listings, then yes, citizens should be the bank you go to.
However, if you're using an MLS listed property, then you will be looking at listings outside of the villages group, and I'm not sure if Citizens Bank would be as quick if you are purchasing a home other than "theirs". Important to know the politics and rules of home buying in the villages. It took us awhile before anyone told us this, and fortunately it worked out ok.....we also used Citizens for our first home, and it was smooth. 2nd home in the villages was with Quicken Loans and it was an absolute nighmare. Would never go through that again. Good luck with your decision!
