We’ve bought a dozen residential properties in and around TV , 11 with the same agent and his wife/ business partner.
We’re not sure if they are Realtors but use some acronyms- Designations of an (ALC) Accredited Land Consultant and a (CCIM) Certified Commercial Investment Member.
We also don’t remember if our two homes in TV were ever listed with Properties of the Villages or MLS.
The Properties of The Villages is not a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), so NONE of the licensed agents who work for them are Realtors. Period.
