Are you saying that an independent agent can NOT show houses listed by TV? Seems to me that the TV agent is working for the seller not the buyer?? I need an agent whose interest is in me not the seller and will work hard to get me a good deal. Enlighten me please.

You are right. The Villages agent is working for The Villages. The other one can show you all of the houses not listed by The Villages. That is the way it is.
The new homes are listed at a certain price if they are built already, no negotiation there. Not switching out appliances, not offering less than sale price. The resales are negotiable.
Allow me to welcome you to this forum and to this wonderful place called The Villages. It is what it is, and I hope that you will grow to love it like most of us do.
The selling of homes and the building of homes is different here than any other place I have known.
I hope that once this difference is absorbed that you will find a lovely place to live and find all kinds of fun things to do and that you will enjoy every second of every day for a thousand years here in Lower Paradise!
