Not a sky is falling post. Just a statement I have sprint, not the most reliable service in TV, didn’t work well in pennacamp and still sketchy in Fernandia, but works great up north

Interesting. I've had Sprint for the past 3 years and have never had connection problems any where in the Villages. We live in Fernandina, often visit friends in the northern villages and Stonecrest, and we've been playing golf in Fenney recently.
We've never had a problem with phone and internet connections on our phones.

Could there be a problem with your phones? I'm no expert to troubleshoot such problems. All I can say is we have 2 older model iPhones and Sprint service and have never experienced the problems you describe.

They don't POUNCE. And I like that. They don't have to fall all over you to get sales. I have always thought that they are instructed not to be aggressive.

I like the attitude of "Laissez-faire". I very much dislike realtors that hound you.

Same with car dealers, gg, I just walked out on one that was much too aggressive.:spoken:

I am amazed at how many open houses for both new and pre-owned houses are conducted every day in The Villages. In all the places I have lived, The Villages far exceeds the level of access to viewing houses that are available for sale. I really don't think it is a valid complaint to expect the agents to do more than they already do. If you want information about a specific house, you can get that information. So, I consider this thread to be much ado about nothing.

We go to a lot of open houses in Fenney and have run into one or tow that were not really interested in us being there but for the most part they are very courteous and helpful. As far as cell service down here, most people have to go outside to use their phones, we have sprint and it works in most parts of our interior at 2 bars, outside we get 3. Contractors have a hard time calling their offices if they have the need. As far as a great Village agent. We used Beth Pope and would recommend her to anyone thinking of buying a new or used home in TV, very helpful and not the least bit pushy.

I agree. I have always been greeted but then left alone to “look”. I like that.

I agree, and just to add on to your post, those agents could have been busy trying to get answers to other potential buyer's questions who stopped by. We have been to many open houses over the years and even when we tell them we already have a sales agent, they are still very helpful in answering any questions we may have. Some are amazing at the extent they will go to try to help you. That's why I mentioned that they could be busy helping someone else not just on their phones for personal reasons.

We get new Samsung and IPhones, every year. In 2010 when we bought in pennacamp we had to walk outside to make a phone call for the first year. Since we have onstar and phone thru them we just used the car. When we bought in Fernandina in 2012, service was better but had dropped callers even service guys had problems, with sprint.

Red and Grey fox courses bars are very few but can get calls. I travel full time and Sprint is my best carrier for work, will switch to ATT when I have to pay for my own phone

It is rude to answer phone calls from someone who has not bothered to come in while someone there awaits!

Yep.

I was most likely not very clear in my post that you all are referring to. I wasn't suggesting they were making random business calls. I was suggesting they may have been making a call to verify something for someone who was a potential buyer at the showing. It has happened to us and I didn't take offense. They were just trying to help a potential buyer get questions answered that they did not have the full facts on to answer appropriately. And as a matter of fact, by waiting patiently, we benefited too by finding out additional info that we did not know at the time. Otherwise, yes, I agree to be on the phone for any other reason other than having to do with the business at hand is rude.

Also, I don't deny that the OP is telling the truth, just suggesting a possibility of what may have been going on.

:agree:
