I am pretty sure that The Villages pays for all advertisements for homes for The Villages. Maybe the reps pay for the other ads that kind of promote themselves. Can I ask why you wonder who pays?

MLS realtors cannot sell new homes for THE VILLAGES.

Jim says there is no incentive to push either. He and his wife are their own best customers. I ran into them a couple of weeks ago in front of the sales center in Brownwood. They just closed on their sixth home. (All of them homes, not investment properties.) I bet they haven't been able to find all of their Christmas tree decorations for YEARS.

Jim did NOT sell the house we moved from. We did. Easy Peasy.
thanks for the info gracie. to answer your question why i'm asking who pays for the individual ads - exposure is the answer. I guess a better question would be are all pre-owned homes advertised equally by the villages?
