I will agree with you "if it doesn't sound right it probably isn't right." I'm on vacation, and I am leaving The Villages this morning to head to St. Augustine for a few days, then back to Chicago next week and back to work. Even if I did report this to the Florida RE regulatory authorities, it would probably turn into a "he said/she said" situation, and something that frankly I don't have the time to pursue as I still work full time in Chicago, and will be playing catch up at my job when I get back to Chicago.

Maybe this is just more of a "heads up" thread for potential buyers in TV to take what is said by real estate agents with a grain of salt.

I appreciate the answers I have been given. That is why TOTV can be a great source of information for us wannabees/gonnabees.
