I realize TV is not a scam but I can't help but wonder, has anyone every closed on a new home from afar and how did they do it and how did it go? What do I need to know or be wary of, alert for or any tips? Someone PLEASE, allay our fears.
We purchased our first home in TV, sight unseen, in May 2007. We closed by mail and wire transfer (we live in Canada). We first saw our Villages home five months later. The Villages Sales Office closes thousands of homes per year, and have streamlined the process to make it easy and user -friendly.
