You will have much more flexibility and way less restrictions going with an MLS realtor. The Villages listing agreements and or purchase agreements lock you in much more and if you try to get out you’re going to lose money. Also, as an owner if there’s an inspection which indicates they want you to fix all manner of things, you don’t have a right to say I don’t agree with this and just walk away from the deal. It’s in the contract that any amount up to like 1% or 2% of the selling price has to be done and you have no say over it once you have signed a listing agreement.
