We have some questions about buying a new home in TV, so do any of you know of a realtor to recommend?

Have y'all been here yet? I know you have had several issues and worries so far. Glad to hear The Villages has held up to scrutiny.

In about a minute a person who either IS an MLS agent or was one will tell you that the Sales staff for The Villages are NOT realtors, spelled with a big R. I love that the Sales Staff for The Villages generally doesn't PUSH or stalk you.

I would strongly recommend Lance and Sharon Hamilton. What a great realtor team. Live in Pennsylvania and always sent new listings and kept in touch and found us our dream home in The Village of Pine Ridge.

If you are buying a new home here, you cannot use a realtor. You use The Villages sales staff. I highly recommend Justin Wilson. 352-753-2270.

Correct. He could not be more personable, low key, and professional. We never felt pushed, rushed or urged to buy. In fact, Justin recouped a good size sum of money for us from a previous deposit. He has sold homes to three of our friends.

We bought our new home using Priscilla Hart. When we were not able to buy while we were here, her helped by email, and when that did not work, she was very helpful in finding a lot so we could build. As far as we are concerned she went out of her way to help. She can be contacted at the villages sales office.

Another vote for Beth Pope. I believe she now lives in TV. Personable, efficient, professional and knows her stuff.

We had good experiences with Kelly Shipes at 954-431-5311. She gave us a lot of useful information and insight when we were still a year out from buying, helped us buy remotely while back home in NC and never gave us any pressure. It's been almost a year since we bought and she's still helpful as ever whenever we have a question.

Judging from all the recommendations, it sounds you you wouldn't really go wrong with any of the staff from The Villages if you're thinking of buying a new home. If you're thinking of buying a pre-owned home, those might be listed by The Villages or not. If not, you'll need to find an outside realtor and I've got no recommendations with that, having not dealt with any.

Jim McLauglin helped us with both of our homes here. He is laid back, very wise and diplomatic and married to a wonderful woman named Patti.
