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.

That’s the very reason they don’t find out until right before the homes are being released. If every person wanted their sales agent to “spy” for them and only them, then why even have release dates at all? Do you know how many sales agents they have here and every potential buyers there are? The difference is, they don’t need YOU to buy a home here. The next person will snatch it up. It’s also why you can’t haggle the price as with regular real estate. If you buy pre-owned you’ll have a better chance getting what you want.
