Someone I know wants to buy a house, the seller’s agent says the listing company “won’t let them sell” unless they get a buyer’s agent.

This is in Texas, but I’d be interested in hearing about the legality of this anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I’m interested in viewing a property where the listing agent works at the same company my agent works for.

I realize that it may pose a conflict because my agent or listing agent of the same company my try to get the most for their client, the seller.

So I’ve researched another agent that I may want to use for that particular property.

So if I use agent A, for properties 1,2 & 3. And use agent B for 4, 5 & 6, can I also use agent B for property 1?

I want to sell my own home. I have a california real estate salesperson license. I will not sell the home using any assistance from my broker. I will not put up any advertising with the broker’s name on it. I will simply wear a different hat , which is that of an owner selling my own home. I don’t see that the broker will be entitled to a transaction fee / cut. My broker charges a flat transaction fee on any listings that sell.
Since I will not be signing a listing agreement, the broker should not get a transaction fee / cut.

Otherwise having a license is like getting taxed unfairly by your broker when you sell your own property. Since I pay a subscription to the MLS service.. I will list in the MLS and disclose that this an agent owned property and that it is for sale by owner. Anybody see a problem occuring? My broker said he must charge me the ,000 transaction fee. “No True.” I told him because i, the owner, would not be signing a listing agreement. makes sense?

I know i have to disclose that I am an agent .. I made that statement in my question…
You are saying if it is in the MLS it is listed… Really… how is that?… there is no listing agreement with myself to sell my own property. Since I subscribe to the MLS, all i have to do is log in and put it in the MLS… The MLS does not ask me to fax them a copy of the listing agreement. Also, there are many services that will put your house in the MLS for a fee.

In those case the owner is not signing any listing agreement with an agent or broker but yet they are able to have their home in the MLS. So then why should an agent be unfairly taxed by a broker when they want to simply sell their own home with their own marketing etc. without any assistance, signage or any help of a broker. Should apply the same to agent / owners. Should they be trapped to pay a broker just because they have a r.e. license?
