That was my experience as a buyer with a Villages agent as well as a seller I know well. They just were not showing the house she listed with them. When her listing with The Villages expired she listed it with a MLS Realtor and the house quickly sold. My original Villages agent evaded showing me anything but new spec homes even though I repeatedly requested he show me resales.

Also, Villages agents are NOT Realtors although they are licensed agents as I understand it.
