Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Do you need a realtor to move to the Villages?
I'm thinking of moving to the Villages in Florida. Since it's a retirement community, do I need a realtor? Or do they have their own process?

Are you building or buying a resale? If the Villages is still has active construction -- there will be builders reps there to assist you that building process. Remember that builders agents work for the Builder first. If you are buying a resale home -- your choices are to use the agent that listed the house, who works for the Seller or find a Buyers agent, your own representative with in-depth know of the that community and they can help you navigate the inventory, market trends, contracts, negotiations and have your best interest. It is always a very good idea to have your own agent representation when buying real estate -- this is to protect you in the transaction & your home purchase. They work for you & only you.

I highly recommend you have a realtor no matter where you are buying. They have all the know how about negotiating, making/what to offer, and a GOOD buyers agent will be there to guide/advise you the entire process until your closing day. As a lender, I believe a good agent is as important as your lender. That makes for an incredible team.
