There are way more options enlisting the help of a Villages agent and an outside real estate agent. We ultimately decided on a new build, so used our only option.
We did, however, come close to buying an existing home from an MLS agent, which would've been fine. She was/is very friendly and helpful.
Now, when it comes time to sell - which may not be for a long time - we will keep all options open as to who we choose to sell our home. This is, after all, a business.
No agent will starve if we pick someone other than the one(s) we worked with previously. There may be some hurt feelings, but this is a business and ultimately the highest sale price wins.
