Well according to the tax records the home was purchased in 2015 and he didn't do a thing in that home. He's not going into an assisted living facility he is going to live with his daughter. Where do they get this stuff from? I have repeatedly contacted the sales office to complain to perhaps a manager annd for some reason they try their damnest to avoid doing that. I still do not have executed contracts signed by both parties??? I think the difference between the VLS agents and MLS agents are MLS agents are bound to a code of ethics and morals and can be sued for misrepresentation. USE MLS

By law, you should have a copy of a signed contract. I would call The Villages' real estate office and demand (if necessary) to speak with the broker of record. If that doesn't work, I would physically go to the office (which I believe is on 466 above a Citizens Bank). There's nothing like a personal appearance to get something accomplished.
I would also file a complaint against the agent with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation. Once you get on their site, there's a small Google place on the upper right of the page where you can write in "real estate complaint" and that will take you to where you want to go. They will only accept complaints in writing.
Most often, no one will ever file a complaint against an agent. That's why the lousy ones are still in business. You should do it.
