Always use a Villages agent plus an outside agent as neither can show the other's properties.
We wanted the perks of resale, but when i wanted a Roman shower and golf cart garage and my better half wanted an open floor plan and room for a pool, we just could not find it all, so we had to add $$$$ to the new property in landscaping etc.
