I will let you all now when we are comng so we can get guest passes Then we will rent for 6-12 months. By the end of the rental, we should be pretty sure this is where we want to retire.

The first time we were there this year we met a couple who had come down on the preview for the first time for 5 days with no intention of buying. Well, they ended up buying and movng to TV within a month ! I was amazed that somebody could make such a life changing decision so quickly but everyone is wired differently.
Actually a good number of people buy quickly. We came for a visit, just for the day. Then we came back about a week later and told the agent we had seen on that first visit to start looking for a house.

We have a neighbor that should get a commission for house sales. Everytime he had guests visit, they ended up buying...lol.
