Default Re: Is it better to buy from a Villages agent or an independant broker?

In reading over this thread, I was surprised that no one mentioned the obvious--driving through neighborhoods. Many if not all homes for sale in TV have a sign in front, indluding those listed with TV. Stop when you see people outside and ask them if they're aware of any homes for sale in the area. Of course this works only if you're in TV and not a thousand miles away typing away on a computer.

Also, someone mentioned that TV real estate sales agents are not licensed and are no better than used-car salesmen, my description. That is not the case. They are all licensed and have passed the same qualifying tests as an outside real-estate agent. --George
