This may be off base but wonder if people can post their good recommendations on Agents who they got during lifestyle visits.

We didn't care much for our lifestyle assigned agent. Luckily it's easy to get another. We met our agent, Kim Porter at an open house, and after talking with her for over an hour we told her that we wanted her to be our sales rep. She made it happen.

We just rented for a month as we thought and heard a week is not nearly enough time to decide if this place is for you and where you wanted to live.

We called to get an agent and got Jared Crenshaw and was very happy with the service he provided.

Having said this if you want a resale would also look for an MLS agent as the two groups do not play nicely with each other.

A good VLS agent will understand that you need an MLS agent to show you houses that the VLS agent cannot. So, when you find a good VLS agent, I would ask them to refer you to an MLS agent to work with. If they refuse, then I would find another VLS agent.

Our agent Priscilla Prozek(?) was excellent (2013), she is still working, we get cards each year. She easily went the extra mile to get us a really nice house which we still live in.

Our first VLS was promoted, we were assigned a second agent. Not a fan. We stopped at a open house, met Mark Kennedy, great first impression. Stand up guy who takes care of his clients.

Every person we have recommended to contact Mark, have bought and sold homes with him. Each person has thanked us for recommending Mark, and what a great agent he is

If you have a lifestyle visit scheduled, can you request an agent by name?

Yes you can

Barbara & Steve Lightbody 352 392 8197
They will show you the new and pre-owned homes with no pressure at all.
Lifestyle visit Steve took us all around on the second day of our seven day visit.
He spent almost the entire day with us, we never felt pushed at all. When Steve dropped us off he says "If you need anything or have any questions just call us." We never heard from him or Barbara the rest of our visit. That totally impressed the both of us. We have dealt with a lot of realtors over the years of buying many properties. Steve & Barbara Lightbody are the best. We bought our house with their help in 2021.

Travis Robinson and his wife Carla - you won’t be disappointed. 352-425-3994

We met him at an open house in May 2021 before we even decided to move here just happened to be in the area so we visited The Villages for a few hours. We stayed in touch and during our next visit about 9 months later we bought a new home and the rest is history- zero regrets and he’s stayed in touch since we closed in March 2022. We never did a lifestyle visit.

Christie Painter-Smith is absolutely fantastic. She spent a bunch of time showing us around for our LSV and we used her as our agent when we bought. She pointed out many minor repairs that needed to be done before our closing that we would have missed. She gave us a nice gift basket at closing. She still stays in touch.

Darlene D’Andrea is excellent! She’s helped us twice and we’ve recommended her to friends and family who were very happy with her also. She’ll show you new and preowned houses all day with no pressure at all. 352-446-0955; Darlene.d’andrea@thevillages.com.

Gerry Andrews. Excellent!

June Brine 352-551-6296. My wife and I walked into the sales office in Spanish Springs with no appointment. We were very lucky to meet June a few minutes later. Despite no appointment, June found us a Villa to stay in for our visit and spent the next three days showing us all areas of the Villages. We ended up buying a home that was listed by a MLS agent but to this day, June still stays in touch with us. Highly recommend her.
