So in questioning the rep, I figured this was entirely subjective and was based on the client's "need" as interpreted by the agent. In other words the reps are classifying, and valuing your property. To me this is "profiling" and should cease, let the market set the value, not some realtor employed by the builder.
You are making a huge assumption that you were talking with a Realtor.
The Villages sales people are just that sales people, very few if any are Realtors. They can say whatever they want to say. Realtors are Professionals, It is my opinion The sales people in the villages are far from from neeting this high standard within he Real Estate Profession.
