The important thing to me is not that the Villages agents are licensed, but to realize that they will never represent the buyer as a fiduciary agent. They will ALWAYS represent the seller.
So, if you are buying from VLS, unless you bring your own fiduciary (someone responsible for looking out for YOUR best interests and NOT the BUYER's), at your expense, you have nobody but yourself to rely on for that purpose. Since VLS absolutely will NOT share the commission with a buyer's agent, the buyer will be responsible for paying whatever fee their fiduciary charges for their service.
