We came down a 6-day Lifestyle Preview visit and we were assigned an agent through TV. There was absolutely no pressure. We were told to take a few days, play golf with the tee-times and passes we received through TV and just relax and enjoy the place.

After we met with the agent and looked at homes, we went on our own to open houses and talked to people. We saw a house we wanted to look closer at and called the listing agent through the phone number on their sign in the front yard.

We didn't purchase that particular house, but that agent turned out to be the agent we used as our buyers' agent when we bought our first home two years ago this coming January.

Now we use a different agent through TV. We met him at an open house and really like him. He just helped us buy a home for my father-in-law YESTERDAY! Yea!!

We also have an "outside" realtor we used to sale another house. He is fantastic. He was the seller's agent on our second home purchase and we knew from the beginning we would use him to represent us on any future purchases on homes in TV that are listed by outside agents.
