We were over four years from retirement on our first visit. The Villages sales office assigned an agent to assist us, and we made it very clear from the get-go that we were several years away from retirement, but were just interested in "kicking tires" at that point. The service we got was nothing short of outstanding. The agent never once put the slightest pressure on us, and clearly he didn't have any attitude about being assigned to help people who weren't going to contribute to his income in the short term. Say what you want about the developer, he understands the lifestyle will sell itself and doesn't require any help from pushy sales people. The agent drove us around in his car, showed us several different models of courtyard villa, and even gave us a guided tour of the Savannah Center. I agree you should go to open houses, as we did that as well. But I also recommend you contact the sales office and talk to a sales agent. You won't be disappointed. Good luck.
