Default Lifestyle Visit

Mom, my aunt and I had our 8 day Lifestyle Visit in March of this year. Okay, so I did things a little backwards!!! I reserved my lot in December 2011 and my realtor arranged it so we could still have the Lifestyle Visit! We started building before that visit! The closing on my Iris is next Friday!

I was told in December about all the "extras" the Lifestyle Visit gives you. I thought what a deal!! After we got there in March, I called my realtor because I didn't get that coupon book that he promised me in December. According to him, The Villages stopped giving the "extras" in December. He said TV no longer has a need to give out the "extras".

In other words, we paid extra for the 3rd person and got a golf cart that wouldn't hold the 3 of us! Because, I had already was building my house we didn't even see the realtor!

Personally, I think it would have been a lot cheaper for us to rent a home with a 4 person golf cart. We still would have enjoyed the TV Lifestyle! We went to many open houses while we were there without a realtor.

That is just my observation!
