The Village persons may or may not be,,,,,,, so that is all we know about it.
I assume by the terms "inside" and "outside" realtors you're referring to VLS and MLS sales agents.
A VLS sales agent works for The Villages and can sell new homes as well as resales listed on the VLS real estate system.
An MLS sales agent can sell only resale homes listed on the MLS real estate system.
Yes, when purchasing a resale home in The Villages, it's important to use both a VLS agent and a MLS agent.
This recommendation has been made many, many times in the past on TOTV.
