The Villages sold ten percent of all U.S. Real Estate sold during the past down season when real estate was stagnant all across the land.. New customers are generally assigned to the Villages Agents unless the client asks for one particularly. Being aggressive and persistent is discouraged. They don't have to be aggressive or persistent, they just need to be low key and available. They are wonderful and don't call you back unless you ask them to.
I have read Jamblu's post several times and only she knows what it means. She is unhappy and she feels she has been lied to, but the rest doesn't make any logical points for many of us.
Perhaps the agent was fired when Jamblu reported she lied. They can have whoever they want to sell for them. They don't need to keep anyone who is not top drawer.
They can call themselves Villages reps, and many of us call them friends. They seem to enjoy themselves and us older buyers who have to be the savviest in the market. We have been there, done that in some cases all over the country and in some cases the world.

You are correct and a "referral fee" is universal throughout the industry.
