The second who eventually shared the commission with the first also was very helpful, savvy, and not pushy. AT ALL. Some people like to be guided, we like to have information and make our own decisions. Jim McLaughlin has since become our friend. He and Patti helped us find two lovely homes here and were professional in every way. We asked to look at resales the second time but decided we liked a certain model and are glad we built. The first home was a newly built spec home in Hadley. We so enjoyed it too.
I have heard of many people who asked to be reassigned to another agent because they didn't click with the first. Never heard of a problem doing that at all.

In regards to being assigned a new agent....... in the outside world of real estate......being assigned a Realtor is not done,
you choose your agent.
also..changing agents comes with issues....
if the buyers do purchase a home that was showed to them by the
original agent and the second agent, the original agent
is due a part of the second agents commission.... and who wants to do the work and not get paid 100% for it.....
But with the villages sales agents, the rules may be different... I don't know there policies....
In regards to pushing the sale of New homes.....naturally the developer wants the agents to sell new before used. Theres more profit for the developer in new homes sales.
