It is a strange situation, but there are two parallel real estate systems running at the same time and each is independent of the other. To get the best selection, most purchasers work with two agents. It's a very common practice. Each system seems to have about one-half the inventory of listings.

Agents employed by The Villages can show only VLS (Village) Listings. They do not have access to MLS listings and they are not members of the MLS service.

Agents who belong to MLS can show you MLS listings, but they do not have access to the Village VLS System.

I have dealt with excellent agents from both systems and have some recommendations if you want to PM me (I don't think we're allowed to "advertise" agents on TOTV).

Good luck with your house hunting.
