Last June we rented and spent a few days looking at houses. The village realtor who grabbed us the first day took us to see new homes in Fenney and when we asked him about seeing existing homes was suddenly hard to reach. Wondering if they give people incentives that vary and some months they are incentivized to only show new homes? |

Having sold our homes here and up north, I will second an earlier comment that the agent is the key to selling. When I interview an agent, I have them walk through the house with me and suggest items that would sell the house. The great ones will make the suggestions, point out things which will hurt your sale or improve your odds. Here in the Villages, we found that Kathy Collins did a great job in selling our previous house in The Villages and informing us of a lot that came on the market that met all of our location requirements.
One other thing you might consider in selling - When you receive a copy of the inspection, get a handyman to do all the items and sign it when completed (with their printed name). I left this for the new owner and it saved a lot of headaches afterwards. |

MLS or TVs agent to list?
I’m a Realtor in Texas, moving to TVs soon. Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors, and are licensed as well. Most buyers shop online for a home online through sites like Zillow and Realtor.com, and The Villages agents cannot advertise on those sites. So, I think it would be a big advantage To list with a MLS agent, to get the maximum exposure online. My opinion as a Realtor!

Here’s our buying experience. Had an MLS and Villages realtor.
Villages realtor showed a home last fall my wife LOVED. We estimated it was overpriced by about $30,000 to 40,000, so we didn’t even make an offer. The house sat for 6 months. Fast forward to now, same house listed on MLS, $50,000 less than with Villages. We would have absolutely bought the house at the price now, but we already found a house. My theory is the Villages overprices existing homes, so buyers think the new places are a bette buy. |
