Once you get a sense of the place during your lifestyle visit, one of the best resources is the internet. Look at The Villages website for their listings, realtor dot com for MLS listings and the various FSBO websites. Unless you bump into a realtor that impresses you at an open house, once you are close to buying and you have a few candidates, then you can pick an inside and outside realtor to finalize your selection. Two things to note from my experience, the best houses go very quickly and even so, there will always be another house, so while you have to be decisive when you get serious about buying, if you miss out on that "perfect" house, be patient and another one will come along.
