Villages sales agent are real estate agents. Go to the florida dbpr website and put a name of a villages sales person and you will see that they too, are licensed agents with the state - no different than any other. Working for a developer is a bit different than that of a brokerage. They are single-agency, meaning they cannot co-broke with mls, and vice versa. The villages has well over 50% of the resale market and have made themselves very competetive in the market percentage. It is not a bad idea to have an mls/villages representative. The villages representative goal is just not sales of homes, but sharing the lifestyle of the villages. Remember, all of the sales reps do not get paid for touring, hosting, showing, arranging, calling, emailing, and providing information of any kind, etc. They get paid when they sell a house.
