My thought: Interview and select two sales agents to work with. One, an independent agent who is a licensed Realtor, has 24/7 access to the MLS, and will represent you as a buyers agent. Two, a sales representative with The Villages sales team that is experienced, successful, has access to up to the minute VLS listings, and they have the ability to take your needs/desires to "higher ups" and possibly get something out of the ordinary accomplished.
It should be expected that the buyer provide a letter of credit or a strong financial statement proving the ability to purchase a high end property. Work with both and follow through with whatever home works for you.
