Sorry I wasn't clear enough, but thank you all for the quick responses!
All homes that are currently for sale are available online. Browse the villages website and the MLS lisings. Go out and look at homes that interest you. Pay attention to the neighborhood, noise level, and location. Is there a lot of traffic? Power lines? Easy access to amenities and shopping?

Once you have narrowed your search, this is the time to get an agent. Newly constructed homes require a Villages agent. MLS homes are outside agents. They can take a video or pictures of the homes if you live out-of-town. Find a home and want to deal direct with the seller? Call the listing agent .

Once YOU know what you want, getting the appropriate agent is easy. Do not allow the agent to show you homes that do not interest you. Most are trying to get a higher commission and are hoping you will bite. At all times, be clear and specific. Let the agent know you have no patience for games.
