It is also typical that the commission is based on the final sales price which is the case of The Villages new construction is not negotiable.

Many of the Villages agents are experienced real estate agents, who were Realtors before working for The Villages. But, they cannot maintain their Realtor status because The Villages is not a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), a private organization.
