As a buyer, those new homes were often presented at a lower price point by Realty Exec. in TV, but those high bonds!! The homes with no or low bond (resale) won every time for me. There are those buyers who are strictly looking for a new home (been there done that) and your listing with TV won't change that. MLS is nation-wide and also widely trusted by out of town buyers for years. Realty exec. in TV were professional, but I could clearly feel their motivation to sell me a new home. I ended up using ERA Grizzard in TV and was very happy with their service, willingness to show me the homes I wanted to see and easy closing. Best of luck!
You need to be more careful in your wording. Realty Executives is an MLS brokerage and do not sell new homes in the Villages, only resales on the MLS. Most likely you are talking about The Villages Realty, which sells all the new homes plus resales listed on VLS
