Default Purchasing for sale by owner property..help!
I'm in the process of purchasing a home in the villages that is being sold by owner. I am from NY where all home purchases are done with lawyers whether for sale by owner or a realtor. Here in Florida I went to a title company, put money in escrow there and signed a contract made by the title company with the sellers. Several things have come up - one electrical problem found through the home inspection and one roof warrantee question found through article in POA bulletin (home is in Hemingway). Dealing directly with the seller has been stressful.

I would like to hear comments from others who have purchased for sale by owner properties here in the villages. Positive or negative comments and suggestions would be appreciated...thanks!
