New to TV, closing February 2024
Good morning all,
Happy to be moving to TV (Dabney) in Feb 2024. Looking for someone to monitor / document our new home build with video / pics as we are not local. Anyone have any suggestions? |

I guess The Villages no longer offers this, we had our house built after purchasing the lot, and received weekly photos of the construction. I know for a fact that the gentleman that did this retired and moved out of TV, hopefully someone else will fill his shoes. I would ask you agent to see if they have a contact for this service, I am guessing there may be a cost, but on the other hand the phots will be very helpful in the future, I have referenced ours sveral times.

Ask your realtor for weekly photos. Ours did that. Videos are pricey.

Don Wiley (goldwingnut) took video and photos of our home construction. Worth every penny. He pointed out many defects that were corrected before closing.

Based on personal experience, I suggest booking a home inspection a day or two after closing. You have only seven days to report any cosmetic issues. We had tons we found ourselves. An inspection report has more weight. At a minimum have someone with an eye for details to look over everything. Good luck!

Build or buy what you can afford. A lot of people build or buy here because it’s a Disneyland for older citizens or retirees. Like we were told buy our realtor the bigger percentage of the people who move to TV will buy a 2nd or 3rd home. We really miss TV but we think our children were more important and unfortunately one lives in Texas where we chose to move to & our other child & his family live in Ohio, we miss them dearly.Wherever you buy in TV you won’t go wrong but some people will tell you some place are very clickish . We always liked the south end, we got along with everybody there unfortunately I can’t speak for any other part of TV. WARNING: don’t get it in your head about building a home the way you want or try to wheel & deal, it’s safe to tell you, you get what TV builds. Good luck, you’ll love TV!
