They had ours listed a little high I feel also. When we bought another home in The Villages we ended up buying from a Villages representative. What we were doing was going to open houses of both MLS realtors and Villages realtors.

So that is my experience.
That is odd as TV sales agents sold abut 30% more re-sales last year than the MLS agents sold, about 2200 to about 1650 if i'm not mistaken.
