We moved from Portland Oregon with superior help from Genie Muldoon Real Estate professional..she is not a "¹Villages Realtor " she is an outside realtor who does not push all the expensive and bonded Villeges house for sale. Non partisan!! She can sell any house in the Villages except New Homes ...(overpriced)

Only if you use the seller's Realtor.

Hire a buyer's agent. They work for YOU!

We just closed on a house in TV a few weeks ago. As you likely know, realtors either are with The Villages properties or an outside firm. Realtors with TV can ONLY show homes listed with their company. That is perhaps 50-60% of all homes. Realtors outside of TV owned real estate firm will show houses on the "multiple listing" group.
We had a great experience with two realtors.
Jill Coyne, with TV properties (352) 875-1559 did a great job for us. We ended up buying thru her. Great person to deal with.
For properties within The Villages, but listed with the multiple listing option, we used Karen Kamperman with the Keller/Williams agency(352) 390-4800 . She worked very hard for us and put us on to several homes that were right up our alley. She was marvelous to work with.
We would highly recommend either of these ladies.

So what are the recommendations for a buyer who wishes to shop for homes listed on the MLS and by The Villages? Do you have two agents? Or have no agent at all?

Have both. We used an MLS agent to look at a house for us after we returned home from our visit here. I made sure to tell both agents about the other one. Neither had a problem with that. We ended up buying the house listed through TV properties.

Chuck Wilsey is with Realty Executives. Hardworking, knowledgeable and personable. We loved working with him!

Properties of the villages is not associated with the MLS!

Exactly. They represent the villages not you. And probably don’t give clear information about the cost of living all the tax burdens and that they own everything here outright or an equity interest.

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.

If you tell Lynn Bartlett exactly what you want (inside and outside including price range and area like Sumter), her son Chris will send you the latest updated listings weekly for your perusal. It worked for us and the purchase from afar was seamless.
Lynn (352) 817-4023; Chris (352) 817-4024.
