VLS vs MLS
I know that MLS can't show VLS homes and vise versa. What I would like to know is there a difference in pricing? Are MLS homes bought cheaper than VLS? Is there more "haggle" room with MLS homes? Do more people buy homes through one more than the other?

I suppose sales figures could be found for the Villages, but my sense is that more homes are sold by Villages realtors, than by MLS, just because they have the advantage of being on-site, and available, plus they are assigned to everyone on lifestyle previews.

The difference is there is NO haggling on new Villages homes. You pay what the price is. No negotiating. Different on pre owned, you can negotiate.

VLS is resale so you can haggle, just as with MLS but you need two reps, one for each. New homes are fixed prices, as stated.

Don't know if all TV agents work that way on resales - actually wanted to put in an offer of -7% of asking price. Glad I went the way I did - love the house and location. |

I don't have any experience with this but it is my impression that a buyers MLS agent would be able to offer more input into what an offer should be?
A buyers MLS agent should be working for you!!!! Please correct me if I am wrong. Am I under a false impression?

I've been an Alabama Real Estate Broker for 40 years and this is true in most places I'm aware of. The seller of that property was certainly done a dis-service by the action of not being made aware of a possible offer to look at. The broker/agent is obligated to present ALL offers. Good way to lose a license. If you're buying, use a buyer's broker. They're obligated to look after YOUR interest, not the seller's. 2BNTV: your assumptions are correct.

get an idea on the homes worth
Go to the web site, zillow. There you can get an idea of what they are asking and what they think the homes are worth . They will give you a lot of info.
