The funniest humor is that which is closest to the truth and this is hilarious.

The comment about Zillow seems trollish to me. If I have a problem with a neuroma on my foot, I would go to a podiatrist, not a general practitioner. If I'm looking specifically for a home in the Villages, I'll go to someone who knows the Villages, not some generic website that exists for no other reason than to list every home in the entire country that has ever been sold or might possibly be on sale.

Sorry you construed the comment to "go to Zillow" as trollish. It was in direct response to your assertion that you could not get the information you desired by going to MLS agents websites. If you go to Zillow you will find virtually all MLS listings, and fsbo listings without having to deal with an agents parameters. I am trying to be informative and helpful, but if you want to work only with a Villages salesperson, knock yourself out. I am assuming you are not a Villages salesperson or related to one, but your responses would be ones I would expect from those individuals. I am not advocating for VLS or MLS, but if your desire is the best home for you in TV, you should open yourself to all the best options. Some MLS agents are Villages "specialists", and may have more experience selling Villages homes than many, if not most, TV salespeople. Now, if you want a new home, period, only Villages salespeople can sell you one, but you know that. Also, some people also looking for a home in TV look at threads such as this, and whether or not you want this information, they may benefit from it.
