So if you're looking to live in the established areas between 42 in the north and 44 in the south, you'll need two different agents. For the new homes, one Villages agent will be all you need.

We're not interested in new homes primarily because we'd be paying a premium for design choices I wouldn't choose...e.g. dark kit cabs. We're also interested in more established landscapes.
So, what are commission rates for TV realtors? It must be lower for resales or they'd be no incentive for an owner to list with just TV. They're missing out on too much of the market.
Thanks for the info.
