Those who are looking to buy a home without inspecting it themselves, or having a trusted friend take a look, you might be surprised at the cosmetic condition when you arrive for the closing.
Make certain to call the tax office in whatever county you are purchasing in. DONT trust the realtor to tell you whether or not the tax rate reflects "Homestead" discount...even if you ask.
These realtors are not looking out for you.
It's unfortunate that so many homes are listed in the Villages and are not a MLS.

2 closed when I wasn’t there , you have a year to have any problems corrected and I and most of people I know never had anything major, if the tax rate was going to be a deal breaker , maybe a less expensive home would have been a good idea . I never asked what the taxes were because Florida has so many different tax breaks that by the end of the year your bill is going to change for better anyway
