Not true - most tv sales associates do not have realtor licenses, they are strictly sales reps for TV.

Absolutely not. It is The Villages decision to not sell MLS listed houses. And, in any case, the real estate agent is always working for the seller, not the buyer.

It used to be that way, but for several years now buyer representation has been growing.

Do I thank my VLS for all her help and contact a MLS?

I worked with both, whoever finds you your home wins your business.

My definition of buyer representation would be that the buyer hires an agent to find a house and pays the agent a fee. The agent would only represent the buyer and would not collect any sales commission from the seller at the closing. The agent would only represent the interests of the buyer. I don't know of any licensed agent who will agree to that arrangement in The Villages. It is just not set up that way.

Same
 
I had that dilemma also. I was working with an agent from TV and ended up having to use an agent with MLS. I felt bad because she did so much work, so I gave her a gift card for all her help
