Both, I can only relate our experience from several years ago. The Villages agent was reluctant to take an offer to the owner. She did because she had to but I can imagine how the offer was presented. Her statement was "we know the value of the homes and they are priced very near what it will bring".
The MLS agent said "make an offer and we will see what they say". I ended up buying through the MLS agent and the owner took an offer about 6% less than the asking price.
I understand that was just one agent among many but we were glad we explored both routes.
