Homes in The Villages are escalating like crazy right now, in fact that appears to be so just about everywhere.

I do not think anyone cheated you. I think you were just surprised at the amount of taxes.

I am not a realtor or an agent and we sold our home without a realtor once and it went well. I am not an expert and I really don't like realtors on the whole a lot because many of them pressure. I do really, really, really like Alemorkam, the photographer's wife and Mary Grant and Debbie Boehner back in Cincinnati. (She was my neighbor and friend, married to John Boehner) yes, that one. (We knew someone famous)

Our very favorite house seller in the whole world is Jim McLaughlin from The Villages.

P.S. I don't think anybody gets double commission for having an open house. Do they?????

I have to take issue with the statement that the OP wasn't cheated by anyone. The seller owes him $590 and refuses to pay him.
