Do you want a Realtor or a Salesperson Representing Your Home Purchase in The Villages, FL??

You are faced with decisions in choosing location and properties and now you must think about who to call when you want to buy a home in The Villages, FL. The Villages is a "retirement community" which is also called the Disneyland for adults located in Central FL, just south of Ocala and 75 miles north of Orlando. Golf is just one of the many activities that are available for mature adults looking for a fun lifestyle. Hundreds of homes are for sale with good prices but it is the "great deal" that you are looking for which can seal your emotional purchase.

The Villages is a development which has numerous sales people who work for the developer. Their first objective is to sell you a new property versus a resale or as they term quality pre-owned homes. The developer has built all of the homes and they are good construction. Some homes that are pre-owned have been customized. The most important thing that all Buyers should know: The Villages adds their own infrastructure bond to a new purchase which can be over $ 30,000.00 added to your expenses. Of course they let you pay this off over a time period for a competitive rate of interest, but in reality, you have added a mortgage to your property as this is a debt that you the owner incur.

As a Realtor, I do not work for the Villages but for the buyer looking for a great deal. I have found these bonds are very negotiable to a motivated seller. Some property owners have paid off their bond as they understand this is a tax and new owners of resale properties are not willing to pay the prior owners left over tax on the property.

A Realtor who is offering the buyer Buyers Representation should take the active role and negotiate the transaction for the buyers to make the deal work in your favor - not the developers favor.
Understanding the power of negotiating makes a big difference in what a new homeowner will pay whether buying a new home or a preowned home in The Villages. This can save you many thousands of dollars for a beautiful golf course home in this fun community of golf cart transportation, a lifestyle for mature adults.

Bottom line, you the buyer make the decision. Do you want the Villages Salesperson representing the owner or the Realtor with 29 years of experience who has sold over 2500 properties and represents you the buyer! It's your call.
