The difference that it makes is that every state in the union has developed a comprehensive list of real estate rules and regulations because it was so easy for unregulated agents to deceive prospective buyers. One important element in those regulations is "full disclosure." An agent must tell the buyer about ANYTHING that will or could affect the resale value of the home. Let's give as an example.....ah.......let's say.......ah........a freight train running within 1,000 yards of your home 48 to 60 times a day. A licensed agent is required by law to tell the prospective buyer about it, and even get it in writing. One who is not licensed doesn't care if the buyer gets hosed.
I personally cannot believe for one minute that The Villages would have unlicensed agents.
