Why Move To The Villages? Which agent, MLS or VLS?

Lots of great content in today's episode! With beaches being so far away, why would anyone move to The Villages? Should you househunt with an MLS Realtor or a Villages sales agent? Do Jerry and Linda argue off camera? A new Bubble Rap, Shout Outs, and more great Q and A make Mailbag Monday a must see.

[@daviddouglas8898]

I'll watch no matter the format, but I prefer one long Mailbag Monday. If you then wanted to do another show later in the week, I'd like a more in-depth "Out and about" episode. Keep up the great work :)

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks for your input, David.

[@BruceAndToni-Ann]

Morning! Since you asked, we prefer the old longer format. Miss the scramble today, bloopers, sweet and salty and your signature sign off “See you when you get here!” Not long enough for us to finish drinking our coffee with you guys… maybe we are just getting older and don’t like change! 😂 …Would miss two shows, but would rather have one long show on Monday with all your features. ❤

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Those things are coming Thursday, except we are getting better and didn't have any bloopers... Well we had some, but they weren't that funny.

[@DAS769]

Thanks for saying it before I did 👍

[@soniamoreira5003]

I'm sad to hear your video last week did not get the views you highly deserve. I hope this week the numbers are higher to show you how wonderful we feel you both are and how much we appreciate your channel.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Sonia! It is hard to understand when you work harder but actually see fewer views. The main numbers for the last 3 years were considerably more than they were for this May, And the same can be said for February March and April.

[@kentbowen2731]

I vote for going back to the regular mail bag Monday and doing something completely different on Thursday.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We will still be doing some of the other shows. But they may not be on Thursday.

[@annehajdu8654]

Another great Mailbag Monday. Make them as long as you wish.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Karen, so nice of you to say.

[@purplemary6420]

Agreed!

[@rea8755]

Totally correct about going online to property appraiser office ... Check for "homestead exemption". can't receive homestead exemption when renting a house in the state of Florida.

[@brfrench1]

Whatever you guys do I plan to view it. I may not always be there for the live events but I always go back and see what I missed. I hope I haven’t missed the bench dedication.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Brenda. No, we will have a dedication probably in October after our snowbird friends return.

[@kjisnot]

On The Villages site you can type the name of a village in the search box and potential matches will appear below as you type. Pretty much anything in the listing can be searched like model name, street, agent, etc.

[@brendathompson2503]

I look forward to starting my week with Jerry & Linda but will watch no matter what you decide. Keep up the good work! Also love Peter’s bubble rap segment. Have a good week, safe travels for Linda & see you next time 😘

I’d watch no matter what , y’all are just fun. Idea though, if your views are down it’s summer. People are taking vacations, have company, etc. It may take a while for people to catch up once things get back to whatever normal is. We appreciate you two!!😀

[@kathykulba4320]

Hi there!!! We had lovely weather yesterday, finally. Mom and I just pretended we were in the villages already!!!! Then it went to 58, so, no we are still in Wisconsin. LOVE the show no matter what format, I watch every time.

Linda explained the hurricane intensity, perfectly. Land friction and the lack of “fuel” in the form of warm ocean water, lessons the strength of hurricanes.

[@lisabrooks1208]

Obviously Central Florida doesn't get terrible hurricane damage, ever wonder if there's a reason Walt chose that area for Disney World? Power outages and some tree branches down is all you get.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😆😅🤣😅😆

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Well gosh… when you put it that way...

[@billredding2000]

@@BX_Staff-Home Sorry, but Linda's right. And even if a hurricane is CAT-5, it looses power immediately when it's outer wall (winds) come in contact with the land. Hardly any hurry-cane (!) stays full power going inland...they just end up being lots of rain. I experienced Hurricane Ike (Galveston, TX, the worst storm/storm-surge they had since the 1900 one) so I do have some personal experience with them. And also experienced lack of power/water -- and mosquito hordes -- for days afterwards. Regardless, one huge reason (should I move to FL in ~2 years) for choosing The Villages (or, OTOW nearby) is their central location...I'd NOT want to be on the FL coast or the Keys. Or on another Barrier Island (like Galveston). -- BR

Watching Bubble wrap and Alexa changed "my" temperature to 85!!!!!!

[@lindawilkov6476]

I knew Peter would say Alexa’s name, so before the Bubble Rap segment, I muted my Alexa! When you do that, a red light comes on the unit, which reminds you to un-mute it later!

[@pattiebravata7462]

Hello Jerry and Linda. Love your shows. I will continue watching whether longer or shorter format. I find myself having to stop the video every now and then because of interruptions in my schedule but I always go back to finish watching the rest of the show. Love you guys. Thank you for the time and efforts you put into bringing us the best information!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Pattie! That's so nice of you. ❤❤

[@paulineboness4866]

Rather than going to the courthouse to find name of homeowners you should be able to do online. The Villages real estate office should be able to tell you how to find the correct municipal site. Here in Wisconsin you go to the tax property listing site for the county in which you live and can navigate by address , name or tax parcel number. Ours even has a aerial map to help find which property you’re trying to find the info. for. Hope this helps your viewers.

[@susanjean3114]

I agree. Just look up the addresses on your potential neighbors on the property appraiser website.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

I always give you a thumbs up before I even watch -- how's that for optimism?!😅

[@janicecroissiert9116]

We have been living in the Ft. Lauderdale area for 7 years, (from NJ)and live only 5 miles from the beach. We HAVE not experienced a hurricane yet, So……they do not come every year to our area. In 7 years we have lost electric for 15 minutes. That’s it! However, I am sure we will experience a hurricane., maybe this year? We say this every year. lol. We had a blast when we visited the Villages, especially in the squares. However, being that it’s 2+ hours to the nearest beach, it’s way too far for a day trip. We will visit the Villages again, but not sure if we will move there, but you never know. lol.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Good points, Janice!

Hi Jerry and Linda. I agree on the search function for homes not allowing you to search by village. That is true when you do it from your laptop or desktop -- but when you try it on your phone (I have an iphone), it does have an additional field to search by village. We have been north for 3 weeks now, and our temperatures may be a little more tolerable here, but we miss our home, our village, our neighbors, and our friends at the Villages. Only four more months and we are back home in Florida. See you soon, Art

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

[@melissasirek6388]

I love all the comments about hurricanes, alligators, power outages, hot weather. As someone who has lived in Florida since 1981, I never think of these things. lol My family use to live near the beach not once, but twice. Ask me how many times we went to the beach. Let's say very little. We also lived near Disney at one time and realize how little we went to Disney. If I was buying a home in the Villages, I would definitely look with a MLS realtor and the Villages listing service. Selling a house, then I would use the MLS, much more exposure to potential buyers. Also living on the beach your home requires a lot more maintenance. The sea salt and humidity cause a lot of corrosion to your home and cars and home insurance...wowza. Hey, you came to Eustis. I live in Eustis, and there were much better places to go to than Lollygaggers. Jerry, I could hear the disappointment in your voice. I use to eat lunch there weekly with a local business networking group. It had a different name then. That building has housed many and I mean many different restaurants. None of them stay very long. Lollygaggers will probably be one. Live and learn. Peddler's Wagon is cool, the owners are really nice. Linda, I was there one day when they were doing inventory. Holy smokes. Individually counting those items. Can you imagine. Anyway, another great episode. Enjoy the show.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Great comments, Melissa! Thank you so much.

Thanks for the tip!🙂🙂🙂

[@rickalling2535]

I like the split mailbag Mondays, 30 minutes per segment is perfect for me. Maybe the views are down because of people wrapping up end of school year, or going/ planning summer vacation? Anyway, if you have to take sponsors to keep the channel going, I'm sure you will pick some good ones.

What nice things to say, thank you so much. Our regularly scheduled programs usually come on at 7 AM but are available anytime through KZbin.

[@DisMindy5767]

Whatever format you want to do, I'm good with. As long as I get my mailbag Monday. As for the Villages app, choose our homes, search homes, filter (bottom left) then pick village. It's below area. I picked Dunedin. There are 8 VLS listings, including an Aspen model for $544,900. As for rentals, if the name of the owner in tax records lives elsewhere, it could be a home that rents or a snowbird. If the owner is a business entity, then it'll for sure be renters. But it could be a long term renter too. Someone who rents for years, like one of our neighbors! We really like them and are glad they're our neighbors. I don't know if an easy way to find out if there's alot of short term renters other than go on AirBNB and look for your village.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Mindy! It sure does not show up like that on my phone.

In 2004 we had a hurricane that went across the state. I love the beach, and lived in St. Pete Beach for awhile. I would rather drive to the beach than live there. Way too many tourists, too much traffic, too expensive, insurance too high plus flood insurance. Hard to get on and off if you work because the bridges are up. I don’t want to deal with flooding or have to walk up and down steps constantly because the living area has to be built up six/eight feet.

Thanks for the video! It's such a great way to start Mondays. And I do like your new format! You are exactly right to be in the middle of the state where it is safer! I'm one of those rare people - a Florida native - and you do want to avoid hurricanes rather than live in a more picturesque (and more expensive) location near the beaches. I also like the Bubble Wrap segment, but you do have to watch Alexa. Every once in a while, my Alexa starts talking out of the blue. I don't have too many things hooked to her, so she cannot make my house go crazy. Glad you survived the family visit! Have a great week!

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Before I moved to Florida, I googled "where in Florida do the least amount of hurricanes occur" and the answer came back "northern-central Florida". That's because by the time the hurricane reaches here from the coastal areas, it dies down because of all the land it has gone over. Hurricanes gain strength over warm water. As a result of that info, I started looking in the Ocala area for a house until I discovered The Villages! 😁 Even though I've been AWOL your last two videos, I prefer your longer format. ❤❤

Thank you, Theresa!

[@Barbiedoll1959]

We have lived in Lake & Sumter County for 28 Years. The worst Year was 2004 when Charlie/Frances/Ivan hit our area. We were out of electricity for 8 hours and that was all. It was scary, but we are fairly safe in Central Florida. We got a solar generator over 5 Years ago and have never had to use it.

[@user-di6kx8ns1y]

My wife does the same as Linda, turn off TV. I like the new format of two shows, I thought I marked the thumbs up. We always go through you for our Amazon orders. Love the power outage, first one I’ve seen in 3.5 years. We had both a realtor and a Village sales person. IMO TV sales push the new over resale because of the profit margin. We purchased using the MIL agent up north, he really worked for our interest. So if the owners residency is out of state there is a good chance the home is a rental. Again IMO, we have snow bird neighbors so using that may not be correct. See you Thursday. Ybull of Del Mar.

I looked up homes for sale in Dunedin under the VLS and they came up. There are only a handful. You can also look up models like Lantana or Aspen and those will appear. The VLS is much more user friendly than Zillow, but both are helpful. I have found people are more savvy. Houses purchased approximately 1 year ago and now on the market with zero upgrades and large markups are sitting on the market. I tell people, DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

I heard about a man who was out and about, and meanwhile his Alexa startet music playing very loudly. The neighbors were furious and hammered against his frontdoor, but nobody opened. At least the police came over opened the door and stopped Alexa. Not very fun I suppose. So I’m no fan of Alexa. You also don’t know if Alexa is listening or recording what you say in private.

Regarding your new format, do what is best for you...this is your retirement to be enjoyed and savored and having fun. You are still both in the go go phase of retirement...enjoy it!

[@user-qk7fx4mc6e]

In Sumter County (I don't know about the others, easy enough to check) the owner's information for all properties are listed on the official County website. Easy to find the mailing address of the owner, no need to go to the courthouse. A Buyer's Agent is something all buyer's should consider. Most do not realize that the agent showing houses has a fiduciary responsibility to the seller since that is who is paying the commission - the MLS agent or VLS salesperson showing the buyer's homes does not work for the buyer, they work for the seller and when "stuff happens" as it can and does, they must represent the seller. Consider paying for a buyer's agent, it affords much needed protections. Check with a RE attorney. I enjoy the videos no matter the format, much appreciated. Do whatever is easiest for you guys, you won't lose viewers.

I was speaking to a realestate agent, because I wanted to sell my house. She told me, starting either June or July, the buyer will have to pay their agent and seller pay their agent. But everything is negotiable. Look into it 😊

It is less time involved. It is much more user friendly this way.

It's an odd real estate market being split between VLS and MLS. You basically have to keep track of two parallel markets otherwise you are missing out on a big portion of the available homes.

Another great video. Love Peddler’s Wagon! Another driving danger for carts is those who pass on a curve! Especially a blind curve! I have had several near misses. Why is everyone in such a hurry??? I’m ok with two shorter versions of your show. Sometimes I don’t watch for a couple of days because I don’t have time to watch the whole video on Monday.
