There may have been roof replacements on the historical side due to age but most of the homes are not that old.

Most people I know who are not permanent rely on neighbors or hire a local to keep an eye on the house. Most of us use a lawn service. As you are living in Tampa and plan to weekend here you shouldn't have a problem.

Don't like your rep? I am sure the management would like to know. Just tell them and tell them you want another. You can also deal with Multiple Listing brokers. They cannot sell Villages listings but there are a ton of ML listings for pre-owned.
