Doesn't everyone pay the same? Thanks in advance for the info and advice. Excited to see all the Villages offers!
When my husband and I moved here, we had no idea that we had a choice between the Villages realtors and MLS realtors. In hindsight, I wish we had slowed down a little bit and looked at all our options for buying. We actually LOVE the home we chose to purchase from our Villages agent, but we didn’t realize The Villages agents couldn’t show homes listed by MLS agents and vice versa. Therefore, we limited our choices of homes to see and possibly purchase. So….my advice is to use both Villages and MLS agents. As far as amenity fees, to my understanding they are all different. We do not pay anything near to $500 a month.
