In most cases, the easements work out fine, and there is no problem. I think courtyard villas are very popular in The Villages.
Personally, I would not remove the tree without first addressing the issue with the neighbor. The fact that the house is for sale almost guarantees that the issue will be resolved if it is presented to the real estate agency. They don't want to allow anything to disrupt a potential sale or create an issue at the closing.
