I do not need a buy-side MLS agent to help me find houses. This very cool internet thingy we're communicating on provides me with volumes of info about listings.
If I decide to offer on a pre-owned Villages-listed house, I will contact that listing agent. I have no interest in building new so, not a factor.

I suppose this comment will freak-out a few people (while others will nod their heads, already knowing this)....there are no wait lists for new TV homes/lots - that is a marketing mechanism. It's possible there are a rare few lots with great views, locations, etc. that have multiple buyers interested but, in general, wait lists are not a thing even though they are claimed.
I suspected as much and while visiting TV in Feb and at an Open House of an existing home in the northern area, I had a long conversation about local real estate with the showing agent (who is the third generation in a family of Properties of the Villages agents). I mention the new build wait list to her, she chuckled and said, "there are no wait lists". I smiled back and replied, "I figured so".
Sorry, don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but, that info could be hugely helpful to any possible new buyers reading here.
