Thank you TOTVers for all your help. We have put a bid down on a villa.

Many of your blogs helped us make a decision and now we need an inspector recommendation.

If you could do this soon with a phone number, I'd really impress my husband!

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Pat DiGioia (Villages resident who later turned out to be a neighbor of friends of ours)
Phone: 352-751-1075
Cell: 352-205-0180 (easier to reach him on this number)
Pat7345@earthlink.net

Pat will find you every popped sheetrock nail and other minor things; he will, however, also find you any major problems and spell everything out for you in a clear, comprehensive report. His fee last year was $199; have no idea for this year.

Is this fast enough? '-)

We also used Pat DiGiola a few weeks ago. He was extremely thorough, and we were very pleased with him. Got an email from him that evening after doing the inspection that contained a complete report of his findings. Found out today everything notated in Pat's report has been taken care of by our seller. His price is $199.00. We would highly recommend him.

Welcome Mzmom and Mzdad. I hope you have a wonderful time in your new home and that many friends and family will visit you and that you will love golfing or shuffleboard or whatever. Where are you? Hope to meet you soon and give you a welcoming hug.

I just had my new home inspected last Friday by Tom Comer. He did both home and pest/termite inspection. I would highly recommend him. he was very through. Much better than the last one I used.

Thank you, everyone! We will use your recommendation once again!

We have a bid on a Savannah Villa 2/2. It is a cutie like you all know. .... it was just what we were hoping to find..........It's a resale in good condition.

We are very excited and it's so nice to have a feeling as though we KNOW some neighbors (TOTV) already.

We also used your recommendations for the two realtors we needed:

Inside the Villages Jim McLaughlin and
the Villages MLS agent, Lyle Gant. We cannot say enough about these gentlemen. THANK YOU! Also thanks, Tony, for helping me place this post.
