Village sales staff may or may not be realtors. Many, many of them are simply sales staff. Unfortunately, sometimes they don't give you all the information you need to prepare to do a lot of questioning and insist on getting some information in writing before you agree to anything in writing.
When we bought, that very day we had to write a check for @2500 and four weeks later went to closing on a home/villa that wasn't even built when we put down our $2500. They WILL close in 3 days due to heavy penalties. Perchance you are not ready to close when they are, YOU will pay high penalties.
Caveat Emptor....let the buyer beware.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE VILLAGES and wouldn't want to live anywhere else but you must be a smart buyer here more than any other place you have purchased a home in the past.
Good luck and God bless!
