I appreciate your reply. I did contact a "so called" Village sales manager but the realtors are "contractors" and basically work for themselves. Like I said, he did assign me another realtor.

Did you complete the state form before or after meeting the sales manager?

The "agents", not realtors, are not independent contractors with respect to you. They work for The Villages, who is the "broker" and they may have a separate agreement with the broker. An agent cannot sell a house without a licensed broker. But, your listing contract is between you and the broker, not the agent. I would suggest that you examine the listing contract to see who signed it as the broker. That is the person who you should talk with if you have an issue with the performance of the contract.

My understanding is that Villages "realtors" do not necessarily have to have a real estate license. They do not use MLS and they are contractors contracted to TV.

I had an awful experience with a village ‘realtor’. I contacted Jennifer Parr and was surprised to receive a phone call. I know my ‘realtor’ was spoken to and there were some other consequences for his actions or I should say lack of actions.

I listed my home with a Village real estate agent named Debbie Sander in August. From the start, my service from her was substandard.

In the beginning and talking with her in person, I asked her to send me a copy of the signed agreement. She never did. I asked again and she sends me a blank one. I finally got a signed one after a few calls.

Early on, I had to text her something important about the house and then days go by (or a week) and no response. I had to actually go to my open house just to talk to her. She told me her phone was "broken."

As the weeks go on, I emailed her, text her and left messages on her phone and no response. She did call me a week later about something else but never addressed my questions I emailed her about earlier. She said she must have gotten back to me and said she'll look at her phone logs. I told her I have phone logs as well and she changed the subject. She was also supposed to send me a contact name for a person regarding a small project around the house, you guessed it !- it never happened.

On one occasion, her assistant emailed me at 2:47pm saying I have a showing at 2:30pm that same day. Luckily, I left the house hours ahead for an appointment. Also her assistant emailed me on a Monday about something unimportant and then telling me to have a nice weekend. Ditzy?

On December 2nd, I left a voice mail with Debbie Sander saying i have something important to say and to call me back ASAP. To this day, I haven't heard from her. I since met with the Villages Sales Office manager and learned that Debbie had lied to me about sales statistics. I have now continued the listing contract with another Village realtor. If this original (long) 6 month contract expires, I will go with a MLS agent.

I'm sure many of you had pleasant experiences with her but, I just wanted to share mine and relay some information about her to help anyone make a discission if listing their home with a Village realtor. In my opinion, I don't think she's 100% coherent. Plus, I always wondered about a realtor using their High School picture on their business cards when you're in your sixties.
