No shortage of OPINIONS. On a resale I would hire an attorney that represents YOU. YOUR ATTY would hold the earnest money. ALL IS NEGOTIABLE-reminder your realtor dowes not work for you but for the SELLER.
The villages are a great operation. I would call the villages office and find out what is normal.
I would also call the realtors board. ETHICS, REASONABLE is debatable. Sounds like what you got is-I have a pile of other things to deal with. REALTOR? Mostly you deal with a salesman or lady. Ask to speak to the BROKER-they are the one with the license and a REPUTATION to protect.

I totally agree with your first paragraph. Buyers are always using the term "MY AGENT" as if they have an agent who represents them. In most cases, they do not. The agent represents the seller not the buyer. I don't understand why this concept is so difficult for buyers to understand.
