The VLS agent I used was really just great, and after 2 years I'm still in casual contact with him and he's always has been very helpful to me. Saying that; when I was looking for homes, he did steer me more toward the new homes, but I'm not sure if it was him or my wife's enthusiasm for a new home that predicated that.

Of the few who I asked at the time if there was any advantage with an MLS listing over VLS, the feeling I got was that their theory was that MLS agents would be more aggressive in selling their resale home, because in The Villages, that the only game in town for them.
