"Don't take any wooden nickels!" Oh wait - that was something my dad always told me. Sorry!

Best piece of advice from TOTV: "To buy or not to buy (from the perspective of being snowflakes)" - that was our biggest initial dilemma regarding TV. What many had to say on TOTV really helped us formulate what we eventually decided to do - buy a place of our own. Do what suits YOU, not what others might like/want. But reading what others had to say was such a big help for us.

I would also say contractors. Investment Painters and Tim "The Toolman" Miller come to mind as two I used because of the many references seen on this sight. Also, homeowners insurance and golf cart insurance from The Villages Insurance agency on Delmar from agent Sheri Miller.

When saying that we were going to try to sell our house in Ohio, Bill of Bill n Brillo posted that his advice is to list your home "as low as you can stomach"...

And we did. It was on the market for nine days and we had a bidding war and it sold for slightly above what we asked.

He also said...(I THINK???) that if you are not having any lookers than your home is priced too high.....but maybe that wasn't him. But our realtor said the same thing.

I just want anyone who wants to be here, TO BE HERE, with all of us lucky folks in lower Paradise.


Where is Boomer and Katezbox and K9lovers???

Just the TOTV people. Such a great gathering of wonderful minds. A wealth of information about everything from A to Z. And stay away from the political forum.
