IF YOU GO TO THE FLORIDA DBPR, LOOK UP ANY NAME ON THE VILLAGES TEAM WEBSITE, YOU WILL FIND A LICENSE NUMBER ASSOCATED TO EVERY MEMBER. IF YOU LOOK UP ANY NAME FROM ANY BROKERAGE HERE IN FLORIDA-YOU WILL SEE THE SAME ARRANGEMENT. EVERY SALES REPRESENTATIVE WITH PROPERTIES OF THE VILLAGES IS A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT. THEY DO THEIR BEST TO REPRESENT THE VILLAGES AND THE FINE FOLKS WHO WANT TO LIVE HERE. THEY ALL HAVE VARIOUS EXPERIENCE LEVELS. THE HIRING PROCESS IS RIGOROUS, AND THEY WANT AND DESIRE THE BEST PEOPLE. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE, AND IF YOU HAVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE, YOU MIGHT HAVE A BAD EXPERIENCE EVERYWHERE YOU GO.

They are real estate agents working for TV. They are not single agencies, and they are not Realtors. Look at your paperwork, there is NO Broker relationship. A single agency works exclusively for the buyer or seller, and MUST be loyal to whomever they represent. There is no loyalty wording in a No Broker Relationship.
There are three types of relationships one can have with a real estate company in Florida. 1. Single Agency (Very few still left in FL) an agent can not work with both buyer and seller - must transfer to a transactional relationship to do so. 2. Transaction relationship (facilitates the transaction). 3. No Broker Relationship (you are not fully represented, IMHO.
With that said, my TV agent was very nice and knowledgeable.
