Realtors can show Villages' listings but don't because the Villages will not cooperate with them and they won't pay a commission to them.
That's why Realtors don't show Villages' properties.

It's unfortunate that that's the way The Villages chooses to operate.
They really are doing a disservice to sellers here when a seller could benefit from both sides.

It would ONLY benefit the outside realtors.I like it THIS way. The builder does it because the builder CAN do it. It the better mousetrap part. The world IS beating a path to his door.
