Hi Villagers,,when buying in TV, do you have to use a Village Real Estate agent in their sales offices ? And can anyone recommend a good, honest agent who you worked with and had good results with them. I can't deal with some agent who turns on the pressure to buy and also won't play the usual games that some realtors pull. Thanks,,,Mark

If buying new, yes. If buying previously owned, no.

I worked with Lori Simon fron TV sales office. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, absolutely no pressure, and is a resident of TV so she really knows the area and her way around.

Debra Park was our Villages Sales Agent. She is very easy to work with, a great listener and no sales pressure.

If buying a re-sell I would also get an agent outside The Villages to show you the MLS listings.

Good luck!

Jackie Murphy and Bob Knorr - they work as a team. Both are Villagers, knowledgeable, helpful and not pushy.

Worked with 4 realtors from the villages on new and preowned homes, and finally found Ron Delk from the Villages who was wonderfully efficient and a good listener. Liked him very much.

Thank you all for the help. We are coming over next week to look around and drive thru the neighborhoods,,,can't wait. Some people see moving as a hassle but I see it as an adventure. I've been all over the world with the Navy but my greatest adventure will be when we move to TV !!!!!! Mark

I'll second the opinion concerning Ron Delk of The Villages. Call him at
352-636-3549. No pressure, very professional, will find the house you are seeking.

We also used Debra Park (like Halle did). Debra is a good listener and shows you what you're interested in without pressure. We've met Ron Delk at an open house and he's a good realtor too.

Nanette Tolleson is our Villages Sales Agent. She and her husband are residents of The Villages and have lived in all different styles of homes and Villas. Any questions I have she either already knows the answer or gets the answer to me ASAP! Pressure?!?!?! I don't think that word exists in her vocabulary. She has a great sense of humor, tons of patience and is flexible.

Ron Delk is a wonderful agent and helped us to narrow down what we needed when WE didn't know what we wanted. His middle name is Patience and he does everything he can to make the process as painless as possible.

Two sets of friends have bought pre-owned homes here recently. They both had the husband and wife team of Jonathan and Betty Bonomo as The Villages representatives.
This couple worked hard at finding the right homes for our friends. Very patient and you get two working for you. So if you are looking for a Village realtor, I recommend them.

Do all these agents work out of the same office, or are there several different realtor offices in the Villages?

Just one now at Lake Sumter Landing.

It had been at Spanish Springs, and probably eventually will be at Brownwood.

We used Jim Mclaughlin for both of our homes here. Villages sales representatives can sell new or resale homes but not MLS homes. MLS agents can't sell properties listed by The Villages.
