Clearly the TV knows exactly what's being built on any given lot, months ahead of time, but our Agent's response implies that information isn't shared with Agents until just before release.
Have any of you had success with your Villages Sales Agent, such that they 'surveyed' a Veranda community ahead of time (on your behalf), seeking out pre-release information for you (i.e. Veranda model, lot #, directional orientation, etc.) more than a few weeks out?
While most traditional Real Estate Agents will bend over backwards to get you the home you want, is this an unreasonable 'ask' for a Villages Sales rep? Or, are they not allowed to do this?
Thanks in advance.

The Villages sales people do know what floor plan is being built on what lot and they can go in and see the finishes. What they won't know until a couple of days before the property goes on the market is the price and the exact date that the property will be released.
You could ask your sales agent to keep you apprised of any verandas which are being built with your desired floor plan or view. You can ask them to take a video and send it or FaceTime you. If it's a view lot, you will need to be ready to pounce once the agent lets you know when a desired property is being released and its price. View properties go before they hit the website.
The agents will know which areas will be verandas, but they won't know which floor plan is being built where until they can view it from the exterior.
If you want to keep up on what's happening with new builds, I highly recommend watching Goldwingnut's videos on Youtube.
