The Villages Insurance Partners were very helpful with homeowners ins. but warned me about buying a resale with an older (original roof) as they would not be able to insure it....so keep that in mind. Check the local information about sink holes...there was a great map on this site, search for it. Last, ask your real estate representative if their office charges the buyer an administration fee. I never heard of this as a Jersey Girl, but in FL the seller often pays a fee to the real estate. Mine was $250.

Well you actually received very bad information that you cannot get insurance on a home that has a roof over than 15 years. That is a marketing ploy and there are hundreds of insurance companies that will write insurance for these homes. Call AAA or Thomas insurance to get the correct information!
