To be a Realtor,
you must be a member of the Board of Realtors in the county you would like to sell homes. You must pay your fees which can run between $500 upwards to $1000's per year and this entitles you to access to the MLS (Multiply Listing Service) and gives you access to any listings on that service with a lock box code or chip.
A Villages sales agent,
is not a Realtor, they did pass the state license exam to enable them to sell real estate, but they
do not pay to be a member of the board of Realtors so have no access to MLS.
They can sell only Village properties listed with the builders broker. Therefore they are considered sales agents.
