So what is the difference between the two designations? Maybe a Sales & Marketing Rep has a real estate agent's license and a Licensed Real Estate Professional has a broker's license?

There is no difference, Carla. All they are, are agents and one is no different from the other. Period. What they call themselves are words they choose to use -- a marketing ploy, if you will, to make you believe they have earned the title.
If the agents were Realtors and they use a designation, they would have had to work for the title by taking courses and passing tests. Hence -- another difference between Villages' agents and Realtors.
