I recommend you contact Marc Gilbo at Gilbo Realty. Check out his YouTube channel and his website. He has a fantastic map tool on his website.

You can request any VLS realtor for your lifestyle visit. Really
Suggest you ask to have Jenny Trew and Alex Di Angelo as your VLS realtors before
You come. They will show you exactly what you are looking for at
your price point. They truly are awesome.
I used tg and so did my friend last month, Your time is limited so don’t waste it looking at
Homes you have no interest in. As far as MLS, I have no recommendation.

Yes the Gilbo map is awesome! It shows all the villages and what is for sell in each village (MLS listings)

Tara Williams who works for Sally Love Realtors is very through and works hard for the buyer. I would definitely recommend her.

There are some crazy answers here. I would pick my own MLS agent and not ask a VLS agent to recommend anyone. Keep those showings separate. And also in Florida the real estate agents both represent the seller. Be aware of that however the agent you select will work to find you a home. Kinda interesting.....

Nancy Britton +1 (352) 445-4564
I’m a RE investor and have used many realtors over the years and can say that Nancy is absolutely one of the very best. Whatever attributes you can think of that makes a realtor good…. she has.

We have bought three homes from Scott Hubbard in the Villages in the last 15 years. He lives here himself and knows the area. He can sell inside and outside the Villages, His contact info is 352.391.3688. Highest recommendation.

Hands down Amy and Alan Lauder! They are so professional and knowledgable! +1 (352) 256-2568
They have worked in the Villages for many years and have a great network for anything or any questions you nay have along the way! My past experience with VLS agents was horrible! They only tried to steer me to new builds or homes that would bring them the most profit.

VLS agents and MLS agent fully understand that their listings are separate, and that they cannot show or sell houses for which they do not have access to. This is not a secret. One mistake that some new Villages visitors make is to assume that the VLS agent they are assigned for the lifestyle visit must be used to buy a house. When you get serious to buy a house, I would suggest that you choose the most experienced VLS agent you can find to show you houses. And, I would ask the VLS agent to recommend an experienced MLS agent for houses that The Villages are not allowed to sell.

I would specifically recommend Chris Hallmark as a very experienced VLS agent.

I highly recommend Tammy Freilich, Remax. Highest rated MLS agent for TV. 352-414–8473. Have a look at my house for sale and I will pay buyers fee. Mention Randy A. Good luck in your search.

Another great agent with Sally Love is Charla Cody. We’ve used her to buy and sell our homes. She is top notch!
