It's not about new homes
at all. Outside realtors are not allowed to sell new construction in the Villages. The Villages sells their own properties. Once those properties are sold, they are the property of the buyer. The buyer can choose anyone they want (or no one at all) to sell their property, if and when that buyer chooses to sell their home. They can choose an independent realtor, a ReMax realtor, a Fox Realty realtor, their second cousin the realtor, the 4SaleByOwner website with no realtor at all, and the Villages Properties agents. That's why you see so many "Properties of the Villages" signs in the windows of garages of homes that are NOT new, but are for sale.
In fact, if you check out the Daily Sun, you will see an entire section of the paper, every single day, featuring pre-owned homes that are NOT new, being sold through Properties of the Villages.
