I was told by a Villages agent that they are not allowed to be Realtors because The Villages (broker) is not a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). And, the only way to be a Realtor is if the broker who you work for is an NAR member. If some Villages agents are Realtors, then they may also be working for another non-Villages broker who is an NAR member.

Yes, and people saying they push new homes is a myth. My agent didn’t care what we purchased as long as we purchased something He showed us both new and resales.

REALTORS are held to a higher standard with the Code Of Ethics enforced by the State and Nation Board of REALTORS. They can be fined and possibly lose their license if they are found in violation of the Code Of Ethics!

Yes, a licensed agent can lose his or her State license for doing something unethical. That would be done by the State board of licensing. But, it would not have anything to do with being a Realtor, a designation provided by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which is a private organization that has nothing to do with issuing real estate agent licenses. All agents with a state license are held to the same ethical standards that are established by the state, with regard to holding and maintaining their license.

I was led to believe 1.5% on NEW and 1% on PRE-OWNED. One reason many try to steer a buyer to new homes.

We filed a formal complaint, years ago, that was encouraged by other realtors, we got a letter that complaint was received. several agents, that knew the severe issues, told us there was no action was taken from the board or the person who owned the agency. Not even a slap on the wrist. Realtor is still working, with that so called “Code of Ethics” In TV have witnessed bold lies from Realtors, guess code of ethics has a grey area for some, or maybe they know fines or loss of license is few and far between

Besides, it's a sign of the times. It's "TOP SECRET."

It is no myth. My first Villages agent steered me to new homes only. He evaded showing me even one resale even after I had made numerous requests. Eventually I moved on to another agent.

Interesting, but I would have moved on after making one request. I don't see how they can stop you from looking at their pre-owned listings.
