Even more interesting than the article itself were the letters in response.

Seems to me that if a house is listed on the MLS by a 2 1/2% realtor, the 6% realtor is not obligated to show it or even inform their client about that house.

However, the realtor should be acting in the best interests of his/her client...(oh, wouldn't that be a new and novel thing...) and should consider that house even if the commission is lower.

Like that's ever going to happen.

Circle as in circle of freinds.

Sometimes I end up driving in circles when trying to fine a property by following the realtors directions.
