I was told that a couple of the people who sold it on their own had consulted a Villages realtor who recommended selling their homes for considerably less than they ended up selling on the own.

Being the market is so hot at the moment. What advantage is there selling a house using a realtor vs using a real estate attorney to write the contract?
None that I can think of since I have sold multiple properties FSBO. Be prepared for more work, but at a huge return for your effort.
