My wife and I just returned from a LSV last Saturday. We stayed at a villa located near the Lake Sumter Landing town center.
We were there to visit only and see what the attraction to The Villages was all about. We met with a sales associate on Monday and were taken to numerous new homes and price ranges as we wanted to get a senses of the housing offered at The Villages. As we proceeded through these visits we defined to the sales associate our preferences. We agreed to meet again on Wednesday to focus on home our sales associate choose based on the identified preferences. On Tuesday we drove around looking at homes on our own.
Each day we started our day at Panera Bread at Lake Sumter as the villa we were in did not have wifi connectivity. During these Panera stays we spoke to numerous people and each to a person spoke highly of The Villages.
Well on Wednesday we met our sales associate and visited the homes she chose based on our preferences and we purchased a Designer Home in the Village of Ferandina. We signed a sales agreement on Friday and are scheduled to close on April 8th.
In between spending time with our sales associate, we visited friends in The Villages, went to the town centers each night to experience the live entertainment and took the free trolley tour from the Sumter Sales Office and visited most of the Regional Recreation Centers. We were fascinated by the weekly recreation insert issued on Thursdays.
Never during our time with The Villages was there any pressure to purchase. We just felt that the area was beautiful and well designed and was an ideal location to spend our retirement years.
Hope this is helpful. In summary there is no scripted agenda and you are basically free to do whatever you decide. So enjoy.
