1 visit--over Easter weekend--long enough to confirm that everything my sister has been saying for 7 years is true.

If I win the Powerball jackpot tomorrow night I will be in TV on Tuesday to buy a house. :).

One day to decide. Four days to buy a house.

First LSV Dec 2011 for 3 days. Second LSV in July, 2012. Bought resale on the third day.

We had not planned to purchase, just came to "look". Husband walked out of home in Duval and said "I really like this house.". I threw up my hands and said "we are done looking.". And we bought it.

Not full timers yet but with each visit to our forever home, it gets harder to leave.

We left TV eleven days ago and counting the days until we leave for TV - 14 more days to breathe the air and see the smiles of friends.

Two...

First visit was a four hour tour, including the sucker bus (aka trolley ride).... at the end of a week of touring around various developments in Central FL.

Said we needed to come back in the summer to check out the heat...rented a house for July...only took 7 days to decide this was right for us and find the "perfect" house. This was back in Summer 06 when they were only doing spec houses. Mr 07 was in shock the rest of the month.... he said "I thought we were only coming down to check it out". He has adjusted nicely.

One lifestyle visit! They implanted the chip and I was hooked. We never did take a tour on the Sucker Bus. Fireboy said exactly the same thing as Mr. 07, in a bewildered tone of voice: "I thought we were only coming down to look". Now he loves TV as much as I do, and thanks me all the time for pushing him into buying.

6 visits since 2000. Almost pulled the trigger in 2011. Wife gave the go ahead this past May. Living the good life on Pinella's Island.

We came down on our first LSV in Sept of 2011. Came back for our second LSV the following April. Bought during that visit. So, two visits and 7 months! :laugh:

Wow, I must be slow that it took us so long!

Maybe because I was already living in Florida?

We cannot wait to sell our house and be settled.

we came in januray 10 look at 2pre owned homes then look at new home in fernadina and bought it ..it took about maybe 1 hour total..

I brought my wife here for our 20th anniversary. She made fun of me to all our friends saying, "I can't believe he is taking me to a retirement community instead of a cruise". Well, we were here 4 hours and she said, "We are buying a home here". I like letting her think she's the boss, so here we are!

Came July 2012 to assure we ( i ) could stand the heat
Saw new designers w agent Fri
found them too small
Met w agent MON to see pre owned designersBought the 2nd one we saw that day, great price!
So one visit.
We have never even seen the TV commercials on television... Was all word of mouth
When my hip 37 yr old Floridian cousin said we should come and see, that convinced us to make the trip.
If a young person liked it so much, it must be nice.
And sure enough, it is!

rented twice before we bought

One.

As was said before...we came, we saw, we bought. Listened to everyone on TOTV and brought our checkbook.

Mar 2013 had Design Mtg
