VLS agents and MLS agent fully understand that their listings are separate, and that they cannot show or sell houses for which they do not have access to. This is not a secret. One mistake that some new Villages visitors make is to assume that the VLS agent they are assigned for the lifestyle visit must be used to buy a house. When you get serious to buy a house, I would suggest that you choose the most experienced VLS agent you can find to show you houses. And, I would ask the VLS agent to recommend an experienced MLS agent for houses that The Villages are not allowed to sell.

I would specifically recommend Chris Hallmark as a very experienced VLS agent.
