No I haven't closed yet but there are executed contracts. I just got them today.

Yes bad agent. But you must have liked the house the way it is so I do not see a problem. Assume your home inspector has said the home is ok so just close as scheduled (after you take a few hours at closing to read the late aggrement.)

This particular person is very frustrating

jamblu 07-27-2016 05:47 PM

Because there are people who lie to make a sale

you know I could be wrong, but.....I have been working closely with one particular VLS agent. I really like her.

When I get serious about a property, I always work with her. She knows I am a South Broward full fledged, member, of the board of Realtors.

She did explain to me that she is a licensed florida agent, working for the builder, and she does have to maintain her state license....and keep current with continuing education... So.....? Maybe there not all the same?

But, I think in order to sell real property, not your own, in the state of florida...you have to have a license....DBPR rules....I think i'm right.......

But money talks, so maybe the Morse family created/found a loophole so anyone off the street, with no education in real estate laws can sell there homes....who knows anymore....

you should always hire your OWN closing agent or attorney and not use the sellers.

There closing agents are working for them...not for you.

When I was looking for my home here, my Villages sales rep would not let me put in an offer for less than 3% of asking price, even though I know at the time many properties were overpriced due to the market in general (2010) - I left him and went to MLS agent who said they were obliged to put in whatever offer a person wants to make on a property. Found a great house at the price I wanted to pay.

We bid a home for 15% less than asking. No problem with our village rep

Our VLS rep is also MLS. Have bought 3 homes here never had a problem.

I don't think that is possible. MLS and VLS.

When you have a Florida Real Estate License, you can only "place"...your license with one broker or one builder.

You could pay the Board of Realtors for access to the MLS...but why? its expensive... and you couldn"t sell anything....

Villages agents can sell you new homes and used homes listed on The Villages website. MLS cannot sell new homes. Can they sell homes listed on The Villages website?

This is total nonsense. Obviously you've never worked for TV Real Estate Sales.

The biggest joke of all is claiming that MLS realtors are more ethical. OMG.......in any city across the country, you can count on MLS realtors good and bad, and the bad ones will do literally ANYTHING to make a sale!

I believe that VLS agents must maintain the same license and continued education as MLS....

There fore, the same rules should apply to VLS as MLS...

There are good and bad agents, whether they be VLS or MLS.
