The Villages does a fabulous job of marketing...no doubt about that. However, MLS gives you a much broader base for marketing. MANY MANY more websites. And most people, even if they come down on the villages lifestyle tour end up looking with a REALTOR as well. Then...no offense to The Villages, but they do work for the developer. Their first priority is to sell the devolpment and finish it. Resales is a #2 option. New sales is the priority. Realtors also are members of the local board and are held to certain standards of full disclosure and code of ethics that non realtors (the villages sales team) does not. There is alot more to it than what most people think.
