Commissions have always been negotiable, technically speaking. However, agents can decide what they are willing to work for.
If you use an MLS agent to represent you as a buyer and you want to buy a VLS listed home, the MLS agent will not get paid any commission by the seller as The Villages does not "co-broke" with outside agencies. However, your MLS agent will most likely ask you to sign a buyer agreement that specifies how that agent will be compensated. Might be you paying their commission, but that is known upfront.
