If the Villages agents are all on the same “team,” might their help be influenced by loyalty to each other than the buyer (me)? The parallel situation would be using a Realtor buyer’s agent in the same firm as the listing agent of a particular house.
Thanks for your comments.
In Florida, unlike other states, pretty much all agents work as “Transaction Brokers” facilitating only the transaction. In that respect, they represent neither the buyer nor the seller. Caveat Emptor.
