Don't know if all TV agents work that way on resales - actually wanted to put in an offer of -7% of asking price.
Glad I went the way I did - love the house and location.
This is The Villages way of keeping prices artificially high for the Florida market. The TV agent is licensed by the state and not TV sales department and clearly violated the law by not accepting all offers and presenting them to the seller.
