When I was looking for my home here, my Villages sales rep would not let me put in an offer for less than 3% of asking price, even though I know at the time many properties were overpriced due to the market in general (2010) - I left him and went to MLS agent who said they were obliged to put in whatever offer a person wants to make on a property. Found a great house at the price I wanted to pay.

Remember...VLS sales agents are still licensed by the state of florida, hense they do have to obey Florida Laws.
Your offer must be made regardless of how embarrassing the agent thought it might of been. Thats there job and the law.....
Also there is a thing called full disclosure.....but if the agent is so neglectful as to inquire about the home from the owners, then she/hes a fool, and you should have run away.
I go to open houses in the villages all the time and never let on that I am a licensed realtor. I question the agents about aspects of the homes they are sitting open house for, age of roof? boundry lines...bond balance....ect
Most of the time they know nothing and have no answers for me....ridiculos....but the good ones always say let me find that out for you.....thats the right answer.
Sales agents are out for
"the transaction" sale of the home, once they got you...there job is done and they move onto the next.
Buyer Beware.......no one is looking out for you but you...
