She wanted an outside realtor, period. So this settlement doesn't seem like it was all that hurtful, if you take it on face value. As long as the seller doesn't try and get a quote from the Villages Properties, then an outside realtor wouldn't be competing against them.
2nd post, the very first response to the OP. I told you what happened to one of the defendants.
