Is it necessary/advantageous to use two realtors when searching for a resale home in The Villages?

Thanks for your input.

Mike, If you go on thevillages.com, click on homes for sale, preowned homes, you will see all preowned homes being sold by TV agents. If you want to see the preowned homes for sale by MLS (non-TV agents), go on realtor.com and for the city, type in The Villages, FL. You can also type in Lady Lake, FL, but that may include some homes not in The Villages.

I have signed up for pre-owned MLS listings in TV to be e-mailed to me as they come on the market. I normally get about 5 or 6 e-mails a week with new MLS listings in The Villages. Hope that helps.
