First - welcome to The Villages! (in advance)
Here's what we did, maybe it'll be helpful to you. The MLS listings are available to the public by simply going to Zillow or Realtor.com online. You can use their map to select a few areas you'd like to look in, and then zoom in on those areas to pick a couple of houses you'd like to look at. Let your VLS agent know in advance about this, give them the list.
VLS agents #1 priority is to get you into The Villages. Period. Full stop. Their NEXT priority is to get you into a VLS-listed home. But if getting you into The Villages means you buy an MLS-listed property, then that's what they'll help you do.
They'll set you up with the agent who listed the MLS property, and arrange for a showing. The VLS agent MAY NOT show you the house. But they can help you set up the appointments, and even suggest a cluster of homes on the list to visit day 1, another cluster day 2, to get you as many homes on your list as they can.
Of COURSE they will try and show you some VLS homes. That's part of their job. But at least our agent was very accommodating when it came time for us to buy.
