Also, to me, it is way off base to say that TV listing depends on "non-realtors" who are supposedly unlicensed. THAT is not the case either, because many of the TV sales reps AND assistants are licensed and TV dba Properties of The Villages (necessarily) holds their licenses. I know sales reps and assistants who are constantly renewing their licenses and doing coursework to prepare for the tests.

Excellent information from ilovetv.
Jane, I would first call McLin & Burnsed and talk to them to try and resolve your issues.
There are many members of TOTV who are retired Realtors who might comment on your situation.
However if you want input regarding the problems you are experiencing, you may want to list the problems.
It makes a huge difference if your issues are with cosmetic problems or structural/major issues.
Unfortunately, a Building Inspector's Report is usually for information only.
In most cases, any error/omissions are not his legal responsibility, and his report will state that.
