Also, once we find something we may be interested in, do we just call the number available and work with whoever we get or do you have any recommendations?

Reefer, If you want to look at preowned homes, it is my understanding that you need to work with both a TV agent and an MLS agent as they don't share listings. If you google Lyle Gant, he has a lot of MLS listing on his web site. Also check out realtor.com, and for the town put in The Villages. That would also show MLS listings. I have gone to quite a few open houses for preowned homes listed by both MLS and TV agents. There are a lot of MLS agents that work in The Villages. Tom Heller is another name that comes to mind. I'm sure TV veterans can give you other names of both MLS agents and TV agents. If you want new construction, then you have to deal with TV agent.
One nice thing about TV is that open houses are held 7 days a week, not just on Saturdays and Sundays like up north. Good luck in your search
