Then he explains how 35%-40% of the resales are not handled by the Villages agents.
He does give us a disclaimer in the end, explaining that he is a licensed agent but no longer actively sells. what he does is refers people to other agents and will get a referral fee if you buy from that agent.
I have no problem with anyone making money through any type of legitimate business and this guy does explain exactly what he does in the very end of his video presentation. But, the rest of his website and book make it look like he is simply trying to help us all out by giving us all the options available.
He appears, to me, to be very anti developer and, of course, is simply out to make a buck. Again, nothing wrong with that, but I find his method to be a bit deceptive at the very least.
For those of us who have lived here even for a little while, we sort of understand what's going on. But people who have never been here will see this as an objective book on life in Villages. It is anything but objective.
