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.

You need to engage with an outside realtor Plus a rep,from The Villages so that you will see all homes for sale in the villages that meet your criteria. We moved here two years ago and first engaged with an outside realtor who had access to the MLS. He was very cooperative and urged us to engage a sales rep associated with the villages so we could see homes that he was unable to show. An honest individual. We wound up buying a home listed wit the villages properties and took the outside realtor out to dinner as a thank you. He was more than gracious.
