I have to say that I have dealt with both MLS and Properties of the Villages salespeople. The perceived dishonesty seems to me to be coming primarily from the MLS folks. In my case I had been dealing with a realtor (MLS) that was recommended by a close friend and one I had used in the past. Unfortunately they are now saying that the listing agent did not do his job and verify the bond to have been paid off, and they have no responsibility. On several ocassions I asked my agent and even the homeowner if there was a bond and always, the response was no, in fact that is how the MLS listing read for the 6 weeks it was on the market.
