So I guess you are NOT an educated consumer. Most smart people do research on an area that they are looking to move to and get credible information on the area. I for one researched The Villages online for over a year. Then on a visit to relatives in Orlando we drove up to TV and did a quick tour for a couple of days to see if it was worth a Lifestyle Visit, and it was. We then scheduled a Lifestyle visit during the off season and then again during high season to gage different things like traffic. Then one more visit in a non Lifestyle Visit rental home and rented a golf cart also too. check out even more thing like what type of home and where. Went home and talked about it, decided yes this is it. Knowing what we wanted and having a good working relationship with our agent we watch online and purchased a home by phone/internet/agent. But we were prepared and extremely happy.Thanks to Gerry Andrews!
