www.flfhr.com is a wonderful group to work with. Catherine the owner is fantastic! We used Laura Craver who works there. Very knowledgeable. She had worked as a Village realtor before going to Florida Fine Home Realty. Give them a ring a check them out.

I bought my house without a using an agent but I was not shopping new homes. If you are retired there is plenty of resources and time to do your own due diligence especially with the TOTV for existing homes. I called the listing agents when I was interested in a property. When they find out they would not have to share the commission then they become very motivated to convince the seller that you have the best offer.

Fake News.

always check to see what the homes sold before to check to see if the seller is trying to make a killing. Don't get suckered into paying the ridiculous prices that they are asking.

Genie Muldoon did a great job for us locating our home in TV. Highly recommend her

We used Lisa Marie Puccio. She knew what we would like after spending a short time with us and we love our house! Also there is no pressure from her and she still stays in touch and is my go to person as I learn my way around Village life.
her number is 352-255-2913

I HIGHLY recommend Gary Lazdowski. He is IMHO the BEST realtor in TV. Experienced, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Call him at 352 446 7193

Consideration
 
Regardless of the Real Estate Agent you use the old adage that Location, Location, Location is still the bases for choosing a site to buy. There are many not the least of which
is being able to get to the bank, shopping, drug store, gas station, etc etc are key to where
you live. As an example if you check out locations like Winfred, Tall Trees, etc. for re buys
you will have a great location. There are other of course but these are the gold standard.:popcorn:

After many years of planning to move to The Villages, we are putting it in gear and will hopefully find a home in December. We’ve been here several times for extended stays and hope to find a home near Sumter Landing. We could really use some recommendations on realtors for both The Villages and ones that sell through the MLS. I know this information has been given before but a fresh list of current realtors would be appreciated. Thanks, and hope to see you soon.

Don't use The Villages realtors

Our realtor was Marguerite Garvey with Keller Williams, (352) 630-2525, and we loved her. If you use her, let her know Bev & Glen recommended her. She is still our friend, which is icing in the cake!

I recommend Sherri Crider/Kandis Buse with Realty Executives. They will work 24/7 for you and are a highly successful team.

You're technically correct.
But MLS Realtors can only show MLS homes which are approximately 25% of the ''pre-owned'' market. They never can sell a newly constructed home.
