I don't think that some people realize that you don't have to go through realtors who work for The Villages, if you are buying a pre-owned home IN The Villages. We bought ours from a semi-retired contractor who listed the home with an independent realtor after giving it a thorough face-lift: new flooring, new roof, new paint job, etc. North of 466, quiet neighborhood. Couldn't be happier.
