Real estate agent only sends me a limited selection of houses

[M Edouard]

Hey everyone,

I'm working with a real estate agent and he sent me a list of houses to select from but it was very limited. I went on the MLS and I saw a lot more houses than what he placed in his list. I asked him why houses on the MLS was not included in his database, he didn't give me a clear answer.

Why would he only send me houses from a limited database? Does he have an extra incentive? Is this a red flag?
