So I was a realtor in Pa and a Villages real estate agent for 10 years. Villages reps are licensed by the state. You need a Properties of The Villages rep to see new and pre owned listed by The Villages. You’ll need an outside realtor to see all other pre owned homes. Properties of The Villages has 60-70% of the pre owned market and 100% of new. Don’t listen to people who say Villages reps only want to sell new or have no code of ethics like realtors. IT IS NOT TRUE. The commission scale for new or pre owned is exactly the same so there is no monetary advantage either way. Just be sure you have one of each to see all the inventory.
