EnglishJW,
I believe you are still a little confused in regards to your statement ... Our primary sales person is a licensed realtor.
If your Real Estate Agent works for The Villages, then they are indeed a licensed real estate agent with the state of Florida, however, they can not be called a REALTOR, since they are NOT part of the National Board of Realtors.
The Villages does NOT cooperate with outside Realtors from offices like Executive Tri-County, ReMax, FoxFire, etc... According to the Realtor code, they would have to allow ALL agents to sell their properties which The Villages does not. They only allow The Village AGENTS access to properties listed by The Villages and The Village agents are not allowed to show or sell homes listed by outside brokers.
Hoping that makes sense and you now understand.
