Did you get your own MLS realtor to assist you or did you deal only with The Villages sales representatives? It seems to me that dealing only with The Villages sales representatives (even if the person assisting you isn't the one who is listed as the rep for the home being sold) is risky. In that case is anyone really looking out for the buyers best interest? Would love to know other peoples experiences. If you've bought new homes your input would be appreciated too.
Thank you.

As you can see, most folks a somewhat biased as to their choice of a realtor. The issue in TV is that MLS realtors can’t sell properties listed with TV, and vice versa. So, to see them all, you “need” one of each. We bought a home in July from a Villages listing, after looking at a dozen or so from both Villages and MLS listings. Our Villages realtor, and he IS a licensed realtor, is Michael Veri. He had shown us homes over a four year period as snow bird renters. We recommend him heartily.
Message me if you’d like more info.
