It is unrealistic for some to say that VLS is the best over MLS. Not all VLS is good and not all MLS is good as they are driven by personalities. I have a relative who is a broker both in Florida and in a more northern state. She points out the laws in the northern states are much more restrictive than Florida. Anytime we purchase a home we always send the contract off to an expert to let us know if there is anything we should be aware of. That has helped a lot in making sure the holes are plugged. It is difficult to discuss the differences with the MLS vs VLS as what a person believes is "reality" to them and we all know that is hard to change. We really love the Villages but we are not so blind as to believe everything is always right. The Villages Management and Government is also driven by personalities. As the great Barnum once said, "you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time."
