We found Tony Phillips, just by chance, walking into a sales office. Great guy - no pressure. Highly recommend.

I'm not sure how many of the really successful VLS "salespeople" are assigned to a lifestyle visit. They are real busy and many times the lifestyle visits are a mini vacation for the people involved. With that said I would try to find out from the villages admin if you can request a salesperson recommended by residents. Secondly, in my opinion there is no reason a VLS salesperson should be concerned with recommending a MLS "realtor". I would not judge a salesperson by that fact. I would find my own MLS realtor and proceed. This may have changed however but VLS sales people were paid 1.5% on new homes and 1% on resales. One of the reasons they push new. Again, this may not be exact today. Good luck!

Default Highly recommend Cheryl McDaniel.

We were so fortunate to get Cheryl McDaniel when we came for ours in 2017. We eventually bought a house with her.
She continues to stay in touch with us..and just this year brought us a lovely gift for our 5th year house purchase anniversary.
She lives in Villages and has been a sales agent for years. You will not be disappointed.

Nanette Tolleson was awesome! We still hear from her 7 years later. She showed us 4 homes. Taking what we liked and didn't like about the Floorplan or materials. She did not waste our time showing us homes which had features we did not like.
She was truly great!

Our VLS agent, Christian Gabriel, was great and I would highly recommend him. We felt like he showed us what we wanted to see and honestly answered all our questions. Of course, no pressure or silly sales games.

Rob Goldberger is our agent. Here in May, looked for our choice in home, one showed up, he asked our interest, we agreed, he ended up first on list to claim house, our closing was July 1. Glad we chose our new friend, Rob. Now he is working with our son to find a new house for him. GREAT agent!!

We used Selena Yagley who we met while visiting a house we saw in the paper. We didn’t know anything about the lifestyle visits and she explained the advantages of a visit. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to help us find our home in The Villages.
You can reach her at 352-446-9089.

Default Agent

Bob Boyd. We've bought 7 homes in TV and have always been pleased with his assistance. He has been an agent for many years - we have dealt with him for 20 years. He know a lot about The Villages.

Ok Thanks everyone.

Seems like majority here are happy with the person they got.

I have a visit scheduled and a Agent assigned, but did not see his name.

He comes recommended by a MLS agent so hopefully it works out as good as yours all did.

I was wondering how many agents the VLS Has

According to The Villages website, they have "over 350" licensed real estate agents.

Default VLS Agent Recommendation

Carmen Becker laughed to herself when I told her we were looking for a deal like the one already gotten through a non VLS agent. BUT, in the middle of the night she looked into it anyway and much to her chagrin, a similar (better) deal popped up…in the middle of the night. Carmen got us right on it first thing in the morning and by late afternoon we had our BEAUTIFUL Turnkey home in the area we sought, and not the “cookie cutter” we believed we would have to start with. We were probably the easiest, fastest sale of her whole career. But boy, did she deserve it. She listened to me. And rather than just laugh us off, she took the time to investigate. LOOOOOOVE Carmen Becker
