Also, to me, it is way off base to say that TV listing depends on "non-realtors" who are supposedly unlicensed. THAT is not the case either, because many of the TV sales reps AND assistants are licensed and TV dba Properties of The Villages (necessarily) holds their licenses. I know sales reps and assistants who are constantly renewing their licenses and doing coursework to prepare for the tests.

I believe the original poster to this thread did not mean that the contract was not carried out. The contract is usually pretty cut and dry.

Nothing was ever said that Villages agents are not licensed. There is no question they all are, but licensing is only a Florida state license. They still are not members of any board of Realtors, they are not members of the National Assn. of Realtors and they do not cooperate with other (outside) brokers.
