Now I'm not even sure if this area includes Buttonwood, but I'm assuming it does, and unsubstantiated claims like these can unfairly hurt an areas value.
Seeing how these areas are going to be new builds, the realtor will not be able to sell these homes until they become resales and will only be sold by TV sales. Coincidence? Personally I think this is unethical, but maybe I'm the one who's wrong. I do know that as someone who doesn't live there yet (I'm still coming!!!), this could be a reflection on TV as a whole. I think this realtor should prove his claims or issue an apology and stop this sales tactic. If he reads TOTV he can do it here.

I have just finished reading this complete thread from beginning to end.
I would suggest that each of you who are concerned about "REALTORS" designating certain areas of the Villages as less desirable than others (or more prone to crime) ~ please go back and read the "original" post. NO WHERE does the poster assign those comments about areas south of 466A
as being crime prone to a "REALTOR". In fact, it is clearly stated in the original post, that the remark was made by a "Village Resident" NOT a REALTOR.
Instead of reading the original message, several others just jumped on the bandwagon and added their own comments to a response made in error. This is how things get out of hand and rumors are started. Just an observation that I wanted to share.
