Most all the Villages representatives have an assistant. It is also my understanding the Villages sales reps do not need a real estate license, they are not realtors just sales agents for the developer. We were not very happy with the Villages selling our house. However when we moved back after 4 years away we bought from a Villages sales rep and were very happy with them.
the state requires anyone who sells real estate for a commission be licensed. The National Association of Realtors has their Realtors sign a code of ethics, while Villages agents do not. This would explain why they seem to get away with some of this crap!
