Multiple listing services may, as a matter of local discretion, categorize listings as MLS entry-only in instances where listing brokers, pursuant to their listing agreements, will not provide any of the following services:
- arrange appointments for cooperating brokers to show a listed property to potential purchaser(s) but instead give cooperating brokers authority to make such appointments directly with seller(s)
- accept and present to seller(s) offers to purchase procured by cooperating brokers but instead give cooperating brokers authority to present offers directly to seller(s)
- advise seller(s) as to the merits of offers to purchase
- assist seller(s) in developing, communicating, or presenting counter-offers
- participate on seller’s(s’) behalf in negotiations leading to the sale of the listed property
