Question if you found a house with TV, would you not buy it because they are not members of nar?
With so little inventory, who ever has a house to sell in OPs range WINS. No matter what initials are after their name.

No, a buyer may not know who can sell what. Many potential buyers have simply read that they should have a Villages agent and an MLS Realtor and may not know or understand why they need one of each.

I grant you that if someone wants a brand new Villages house only a Villages agent can help them. Please don't misquote me. I never said that if I found a Villages property that I would not purchase it because the agent was not a Realtor and member of the NAR.

What initials are you speaking about? A Realtor does not have the initials NAR after their name. A sample of a few initials that a Realtor could have after their name could be GRI, CRS, CCIM, CRB, ABR, and many others. All of these types of initials have clout because of a Realtor furthering their real estate education, and these are real estate classes and designations that a Villages agent can never have.
