The reason that more resales are not listed in the MLS is because agents in The Villages are not Realtors and do not cooperate with other brokers. They do not belong to any Board of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and do not have to abide by their Code of Ethics. The Villages' agents are licensed by the state to sell real estate but that's the beginning and end of it.

As I mentioned above, they do not cooperate with outside brokers nor do they show other brokers' listings.
