When we did ours we opted not to tie up our assigned agent since all we wanted to do was pretty much just look around.

When he took us to our villa he went through the layout of the place, asked us if he could make any reservations for us and made sure we knew how to get ahold of him if we had any questions.

We did all three trolley tours which gave a great introduction to the different areas. Then between the daily paper and The Villages App we located open houses that we were interested in and went to several. Then we just pretty much drove around and got lost. Went to several of the Regional Rec Centers. Especially liked Eisenhower. Spent time at all three squares and met some friends for a couple of meals.

We spent a lot of time just talking to people. I have to admit I went in thinking it would be a little Stepford-ish. But almost everyone we spoke to had nothing but good things to say about their experience there. When pressed to provide something negative the only thing people came up with was the crowds and traffic during "Snowbird" season. But that wasn't a huge complaint.
