Seems that the realtor arrangement/lineup in The Villages is more complicated than it should be!
When we began looking about 18 months ago we worked with a Village Sales Person and also a Realtor that works with MLS. At that time, it was really the only way to see all the property's available in The Villages. I doubt this has changed. We found it somewhat unusual to have two people working in the same area, but it's the way it works in The Villages, and wasn't the least bit difficult seeing everything we wanted to see.
