When looking to purchase a home in TV you must work with a Village Realtor and a MLS realtor. You can get new and pre-owned homes with the Village realtor and only pre-owned with MLS realtor. The reason is some people are listing their home only with the Villages and it doesnt go out into the multiple listing. So thats why you need both. Also, make sure you really research the areas in the Villages. I have bought several homes in TV over the course of 8 years. I am not retired yet so I come down to TV whenever I can. I usually rented from various people because my homes are rented long term. I know TV like the back of my hand and knew exactly the areas where I wanted to buy MY home that I will live in when I retire in 2 years. The first 2 homes were new builds. Better priced for the most part.
We just bought our PRE_OWNED house last month. I knew exactly the model I wanted and location. I knew I wanted to be between 466 and 466A on the Buena Vista side and not too far from Sumter. It took some time till I found the home. Would of liked being slightly closer to Sumter, but my dream home was priced right. I was working with my Villages realtor who I know for the past 8 years, and a MLS who happens to be one of my tenants. They both knew I was working with both. It just so happens that my Village realtor called me before the house came out and we grabbed it before the listing came out. If you need names I would be very happy to give you their names. If you have any questions please feel free to message me.
