Here's what we heard. . .
 

Sat next to a Villages sales assistant one night at Cody's a couple of years ago. She was about to become a sales agent, don't remember her name, but she told us that every year after the season, the bottom third (performance-wise, measured by $ amount of properties sold/listed) are let go. I don't believe they allow any part-time sales associates as in other areas of the country.

I am looking for the more general information as opposed to specif recommendations.

I have been getting the type of information you have described and I was looking for something more.

I had a married couple show us around on our first visit. Our second visit we were assigned Pat White to whom in my view demonstrated much hustle. At the time the Developer was getting top dollar and telling you what you were going to get...take it or leave it (2006) I was so incensed over the Developer's attitude that I told Pat White exactly what location and what we wanted in a home and if she couldn't find it I was moving elsewhere. Much to my surprise, Pat called me 3 weeks later and here I am.

Pat is still selling and from what I gather selling well and my view she is a woman of integrity, honesty and good business sense.

Thanks everyone.
