Any time you want to know if a person in the state of Florida has a legal LICENSE for a business or profession (including a license to sell real estate), you can go to the state's website at
www.myflorida.com and search for the license information. The department is Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.
According to my search, Properties of The Villages and their sales associates are indeed licensed to sell real estate in the State of Florida. Check it out for yourself.
Donna Lee is correct when she stated in an earlier reply that you can be licensed to sell real estate, but you not required to join and be a member of the Realtor's Association to do so. Hope this additional information helps with the original question posted.
