I will tell you our experience.
We rented a house in June of 2019 and spent a bit of time with both a village and an MLS agent.
When we arrived we were given to a Village agent to get the keys and he convinced us to let him show us some houses.
Told him we wanted to see resales but willing to look at Feeney.
After being here a few weeks called him and met him at Feeney. Spent some time and looked at some houses and we decided we wanted to be North of 466A.
Told him that he said ok. Called him several times after that to look at resales and he never called us back. Apparently at the time he was only interested in selling new homes.
When we came to buy January 2020 called an MLS agent we spent time with the end of June and she took us around to look at resales. The one home we wanted we got into a bidding war and the owner took it off the market. No clue why that happened as they would have gotten $ 20,000 over the asking price. At that point the MLS agent had nothing to show us.
The next day called the Villages sales office and a salesman picked us up and that day and we purchased a house in Bonita. He never had such an easy sale but he was extremely helpful thru out the process.
My conclusion is it all depends upon the agent.
