Clarifying about The Villages Sales Agents and Realtors: The only people who can sell you a NEW house in The Villages are licensed Sales Agents who work for the Developer of The Villages. As you can imagine, their first loyalty is to the Developer, not the buyer. They are not Realtors; Realtors are members of the Board of Realty, these are the people who work for places like ReMax, Grizzard, etc. The Developer does not allow them to sell his new houses in The Villages. In other areas of Florida some other Developers do allow Realtors to sell their homes and some do not. So in summary, they may have the same State of Florida Sales Agent license but who they work for is an important consideration. (I am a retired Realtor.)
