In VA were I'm from I have sold 3 properties FSBO. I had my own contract that aligned with VA laws, etc. Listed my house in the Villages FSBO and it didn't go well. I think it is a mentality thing with the buyers wanting to feel "safe" with a realtor or Villages sales person. I had THOUSANDS of calls from realtors, it was obnoxious. I was going to give 3% to a realtor if they brought me a client, so I ended up adding 2% (VIllages is 5%) and gave The Villages my listing and it was sooo worth the extra 2% just to have someone else deal with the whole thing. BTW, our house was under contract in 3 days at full asking which was more that I was asking FSBO.
My advise, list it with the Villages realtors.
