I also had an assigned agent,but after researching wanted an experienced top agent and found him, especially since we were building and the lot you find is so important
Our agent worked at finding us some of the best lots available. We are so lucky we found him
His name is Craig heron
3525726803.
Good luck

I too had Justin Wilson, absolutely loved him. He also has the customer appreciation events and stays in touch with his clients. Just got an anniversary card in the mail from him today. Judy, his assistant, is the sweetest most helpful lady around.
But I will add that since I do work in the sales office, the representatives are all great. What might be right for one person, might drive someone else crazy. They are busy, they average over 400 homes sold each month. So between showing homes and properties, closings, showcases, and of course their own personal lives, maybe sometimes calls aren't made as timely as one might expect they should be. I don't think anyone intentionally avoids their people.
If you aren't happy with your rep, all you have to do is request someone else.

We have been working with Tim Harding, he listens to what you are looking for and has always been available to answer our questions or concerns. We were referred to him by a former client and have been satisfied in our decision to go with him.

We took advantage of the "lifestyles" visit earlier this year and were "assigned" a sales rep. At that time we weren't seriously looking - we just wanted to experience "the life style" to see if TV was where we wanted to live. Since then we decided that we ARE going to live in TV! Anyway, I have sent a couple emails to the Villages sales rep we were assigned when we visited and have not received any reply. Can you tell me if I am "ethically" locked in to dealing with that agent, or should I just call and be "assigned" another? We did like the original sales rep, although she may have been put out because we didn't ask to see any specific properties - we just wanted to experience the area. Any suggestions or insights welcome!! Look out TV.....

we have used Angie stokes and she was just great and you can call and ask for any realtor you know and they will work with you

If she doesn't communicate with you, promptly and accurately, ask for someone else, and tell them why. But inquire a little bit first. Maybe she is sick, or has a family emergency, or faulty email.

May I suggest you rent in The Villages for a month or two so you can take you time and not rush.The are so many choices, we changed our minds so many times.

We had a great experience with Steve & Barbra Lightbody... In any case if you are not getting what you want or need by all means find a different realtor!

RJ Albritton found our home for us. He took pictures and e-mailed them. We could not have been happier. He knew our budget, and never tried to push us over it. We closed on our anniversary, and he handed us a bottle of champagne. Two weeks after we moved in, he stopped by just to make sure all was going well. He sat and talked for about an hour. He's a delight, and I'd recommend him to anyone!!!

I'm happy to report that 3 weeks after my original post, we returned to TV, met with our sales agent, and signed a contract on our first day. We closed the following month (August) and moved in the same day. We are now happy Frogs in Sanibel and Lovin' The Lifestyle every day. Best decision we ever made!? Our initial concerns, like several poster have mentioned, we're no fault of our sales rep!

Lynn Peterson is a good man to deal with. I would suggest asking for him.

My villages sales agent was Chris Hallmark. We came to the villages three times. Each time he showed us around and returned phone calls promptly. What we really liked was that he wasn't trying to up-sell us. We had a rather large list of things we were looking for in a bungalow villa. Upgrades, location, etc. When we were ready to buy he started hunting because bungalow villas with corner lots and two car garages are hard to find. It wasn't until later, after we had moved into our home, that we found out what a challenge we had given him. Thanks Chris for making it look so effortless and really listening to our needs. It couldn't have worked out better. We love our home.

We worked with Priscilla Hart, kept us informed, and reliably answered her phone and e-mail. Was great to work with.

We worked with Tony as well and we also bought over the internet. He FaceTimed us while walking around the property. Love our home and our experience with Tony was seamless.
