Villages agents are just that they work for the villages as a sales agent - not as a buyers agent. They only show Villages listed preowned and new
MLS agents are real estate agents - when you use them as a buyer they are your agent, not the sellers. They can only sell MLS listed preowned properties. They do not have rights to show the new properties. You can find MLS homes on Zillow, realtor.com, etc.
Do not forget for sale by owner too - that is what we ended up with. It just met our needs, price & timing was perfect.
Work with both (Villages & MLS) as they are separate pools of homes.
