The Villages is complaining about potential legal costs it will face in its lawsuit against the Federal Trade Commission. The Villages is suing the FTC in a bid to protect its 24-month non-compete ban on former Properties of The Villages sales associates from selling real estate in The Villages. Earlier this year, the FTC issued a final rule to promote competition by banning non-compete agreements across the nation. Jennifer Parr, vice president of sales and marketing for The Villages and president of Properties of The Villages, said in a legal declaration that The Villages would suffer “significant and irreparable” harm if the sales representatives selling dream homes are no longer bound by non-compete agreements.
