We highly recommend Wanda Lund from Sally Love Realty (239) 253-9079. She just sold our house and went out of her way to help us as we were out of the area

I used Brian Etheridge. Another person who grew up here, as did I, so his dad is a long time friend of friends. My parents live in Leesburg. I got my reference from a lawyer friend who also grew up in Leesburg but lives in McClure now. He was great and even talked me out of a house that was 20k more than the one I got.

I used Brenda Bell 352-427-8262. Her and her network were awesome. She knew the right people to go to if you wanted new (which I did not) while she showed me many homes that were MLS. She new what people like and what people avoid i.e. backed up to a busy street, power lines and also closed off kitchens but was willing to show me them anyways and brought them to me but just gave me a heads up on the pricing and resale. Good luck!

Make sure you ask around because some agents give you no after sale considerations while others will give you gifts and annual get-togethers.

Kent Merchant with Realty Executives for MLS listings, Tony Phillips for Villages listings. Both are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and great to work with. Happy house hunting!

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.
Totally agree especially if it’s a MLS listing. You’ll have to be a quick decision maker. I live in the LSL area and houses last on the market as little as one day, IF they even hit the market.

Jim Hill is awesome for a MLS realtor! He is friendly and very knowledgeable, and lives in the villages himself.

After three years of visiting the Villages we bought a home two months ago. Our Realtor worked for ReMax. His name is Guy Williams and he literally did it all. The process was flawless. Highly recommend him.
