My wife and I just purchased a home in July. We used BOTH. Villages reps can ONLY show you homes that are listed for sale through The Villages Real Estate. New or used. Multiple listing agents can ONLY show you homes that are NOT listed with The Villages. These are limited to homes which are NOT brand new. Some are fairly new though. We found this to be a good way to see just about everything that was in our price range and it gave us a great taste of what was available throughout the ENTIRE area. We also did months of looking On-Line first to get a feel for prices and styles that were available. Ultimately we ended up buying a new home in an area that we were originally dead set against moving to. After seeing the newer homes, the development of the new areas and the value for the $$, we were hooked. Our Villages agent was extremely professional and not pushy in the slightest. Good Luck finding a home you love. We did.
