So, the question still remains, are the Villages agents licensed by the state of Florida?

Since they work for the developer..they are not bound by the code of ethics, NAR or The Florida Association of Realtors. The are governed by guess who
THE FAMILY. They are very well scripted and go through two weeks of brain washing before they are allowed to deal with the public. They are independent contractors, so The Villages does not have to provide any benefits..BUT they are required to attend sales meetings which violates the Independent Contractor Status and makes them employees according to the IRS.. They should be withholding taxes and SS.. we will see if they get busted.
