Seems that the realtor arrangement/lineup in The Villages is more complicated than it should be!

We began looking about 18 months ago and purchased in 2/14. We had an MLS Realtor and also a Villages Sales Person. At that time, it was the only way to see all the pre-owned property on the market. It was unusual to have two people involved in showing us property within the same community, but not the least bit difficult.
Have fun looking, exploring, and find two separate real estate people to show you all your options. Go to as many open houses as you possibly can. That's what we did to find our perfect combination to show us property.
