I believe that The Villages salespeople are licensed by the State of Florida.

They are just not Realtors who must abide by the associations ethics. The fact that they are not Realtors does not mean they are more or less inclined to be ethical.

In fact there are thousands of U.S. home sales people that are not licensed at all. They are employees of the builders/owners of the houses and as such do not need to be licensed. Of course, that also means they cannot solicit listings.
